How does one not get an MRI immediately when they experience bouts of vertigo at that age? I am NOT criticizing him or his family; I’m truly just stumped. That’s the first thing we did for my nephew and the same for my son.

March is brain tumor awareness month, and people that have had brain tumors often wear gray for awareness. I know that because of my cousin. Benign, it's been maybe 5 years and she's fine, so hopefully it will be the same for Greg.

Gray and purple would look awesome together.

To hell with football just heal this kid with his entire life ahead of him. Hopefully that includes living his dream in the NFL but a healthy life more than anything. He has always seemed like one of those guys that the entire team likes from his energy.

because vertigo doesn't automatically mean brain tumor, and MRIs are very expensive, and a lot of insurance doesn't cover that cost.

Dang, I am praying for this young man

that's so much...brain surgury?

I have a colleague whose wife has a large brain tumor, they're too afraid to remove it because it's like a life and death outcome based on where it's located (in the back of the brain)

her current quality of life is terrible...always something going on

so wow, a brain tumor

prayer and more prayer that's all we got at this point

With vertigo, there's often a more mundane issue, like an inner ear infection or issue, going on. An MRI is a pretty expensive and drastic leap right out the gate.

MRI immediately


They ruled out Meniere’s, orthostatic hypotension etc. before they did a CT or MRI when I had vertigo. Never did really pin down the cause, but I’m guessing there are hoops to jump through before imaging is ordered.

Bilbeau was "dudes sister" a member of the medical staff or anything related? Then it wasn't a HIPPA violation.
