Pro Football Doc Says Odell Will Be Limited At Best Week 1

Josh in the City : 9/7/2017 2:41 pm
Dr. David Chao who knows what he's talking about (ex NFL doc) and has an incredible track record posted the article below. Based on the videos from practice he says there a high likelihood he doesn't play Sunday night and that even if he does he would be severely limited.

who has never even looked at beckhams ankle can say if he will play or wont play on sunday is absolutely absurd to me...

no wonder the dude almost lost his medical license
Doesn't he have a rep for being a quack?

Can we all agree

to just NOT have any more threads about who thinks OBJ will or won't play Sunday?

Let's just let it play out, fercrisakes.

or legit docs. If you think Beckham is NOT going to be limited these next 2-3 weeks you're probably setting yourself up for disappointment. I don't think he even plays Sunday but you never know I guess.

He's definitely going to be limited. The guy hasn't practiced in two weeks.
This guy  
ryanmkeane : 9/7/2017 2:48 pm : link
is the worst. Comes on twitter and talks about every injury the second after it happened. I'm pretty sure he went on immediately and talked about Odell's knee after the hit and was already diagnosing it. The fact that anyone follows or listens to this guy is silly.

Where did you get that 95% figure? Did you match his tweets with the eventual diagnosis by the relevant team doctors?
Josh...  
ryanmkeane : 9/7/2017 2:49 pm : link
95%?? Based on what, a guy going down and holding his knee AS SOON as he plants (like Edelman) and then Chao saying "man, I fear that's the dreaded ACL for Edelman."

I'm about a million miles away from being a doctor and I could do what this idiot does on twitter.

Beckham is playing Sunday  
ThatLimerickGuy : 9/7/2017 3:20 pm : link
A lot of this is gamesmanship.

Could you imagine preparing to play a team with or without it's best player? It's like preparing for 2 different offenses.

Beckham is up for the charade because he loves the attention and the "Will he/ Won't he" bit.

It's what I call the Roethlisberger move. Suffer an injury- float how bad it is or act like it's worse than it is by limping up the field (Ben) or collapsing in the tunnel when you see a camera following you in (Odell). Then the media hypes you up as a tough guy. For a guy who has a reputation around the league of being a little "soft" if not other things, this is a calculated move by Gmen and Odell together.

Note that I am NOT saying that he isn't hurt- we all saw what happened, but all indications were that he was walking around fine the next day. That was 2 weeks ago. What happened since then?

If this is "inside info" of yours, then I'm 100% confident it's BS.

Not sure it gets any more ridiculous than this bit...

"Note that I am NOT saying that he isn't hurt- we all saw what happened, but all indications were that he was walking around fine the next day. That was 2 weeks ago. What happened since then?"

Gee, I don't know.. maybe it could be that walking around and playing NFL football at full speed are like.. two COMPLETELY different things? Nothing changed.

Your posts are brutal.

Also, can we stop posting garbage from this quack doctor? There's a reason why he's making these bullshit diagnosis' from his couch and not for a team.

That he almost lost his medical license. He was barred from practicing surgery at two San Diego hospitals that are believed to have led to him resigning from his position with the chargers. He also was in trouble for prescribing Ambien to junior Seau up until his suicide.

I'd say that's incredible

Sounds about right. Last time I sprained my ankle, my doctor asked me to text her a video of it.

Not entirely sure why she needed me to be naked for it, but I'm no medical expert.

Diagnosing an injury on TV is one thing. Determining the severity weeks later based on video from practice is another. I used to be very accurate diagnosing injuries watching games after taking a spoets medicine class in college.

FTFY
During the Parcel's era, did player's play through injuries like this  
SB 42 and 46 and ? : 9/7/2017 10:29 pm : link
frequently? I seem to recall players saying that once in the heat of the game they didn't even notice the pain. I'm thinking of the game that a lot of older fans remember where Emmitt Smith played with one arm and killed the Giants, although he must have had pain in the other arm.

Or, if the player plays through it, is it likely that the injury will just become more painful and the player risks missing more games than if he had just waited for the sprain to completely heal?

Dr. Chao's incredible record  
WillieYoung : 9/8/2017 8:07 am : link
Chao pleads guilty to an alcohol related reckless driving charge.
1998

Gary Losse, Chao's business partner, is fired as Chargers team physician amid allegations that he has a prescription drug addiction. Chao subsequently becomes Chargers doctor.
1999

Former Chargers defensive back Mark Montreuil accuses Chao of condoning and facilitating Losse's drug use while Losse treated his knee injury. Montreuil would never play in the NFL again.
2002

The state medical board fines Chao $1,000 for failing to maintain adequate and accurate records after allegations surfaced that Chao illegally wrote Losse prescriptions.

Former Chargers quarterback Ryan Leaf sues Chao for alleged negligence in treating Leaf's wrist and shoulder injuries. Leaf would later drop his suit for unknown reasons.
Former Chargers linebacker Jon Haskins sues Chao for allegedly misdiagnosing a knee injury that ended Haskins' NFL career. Haskins dropped his suit suddenly on the eve of trial to take a college coaching job.
Abby Rueckert sues Chao, alleging he negligently severed her artery during surgery. A jury verdict awards her $460,000 in damages.
SeaWorld performer Jeff Warner reaches a settlement with Chao in his suit for alleged malpractice. Chao prescribed a medical device that caused Warner to develop non-freezing cold injury; Chao then misdiagnosed the injury, which nearly caused Warner to need a leg amputation.
2007

Chao pleads guilty to a drunken driving charge and receives five years probation and a $1,800 fine.
2009

Tom Fagan reaches a settlement with Chao for an undisclosed amount. Fagan accused Chao of carelessness in treatment after his leg needed to be amputated following a knee replacement surgery that Chao performed.
2010

Federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents execute a search warrant on the Chargers facilities. Reports circulate that the investigation is due to suspicions that Chao has written himself at least 108 drug prescriptions since 2008. The investigation ended in 2012 without any sanctions or charges being issued. Note: One month prior to this investigation former Chargers defensive back Kevin Ellison was found in possession of a 100 Vicodins.
2011

An arbitration panel awards Kathleen Adams $2,347,197 in her suit against Chao for malpractice. Adams needed emergency surgery after Chao lacerated her artery, vein and nerves during hip surgery.
2012

NFLPA formally requests a review of Chao's qualifications. An independent panel of three doctors would later exonerate Chao.
The state medical board publicly reprimands Chao for not disclosing his prior incidents of drunken driving on his application to be licensed as a "qualified medical evaluator."
