Maybe we need to fire our medical staff instead of our coaches

Maybe it's time we replace our medical staff. Kind of disturbing that it took an outside doctor to figure this out.
Replacing the doctors isn't crazy. The Saints did it a couple of years ago when they were having problems with injuries.

He went to a doctor outside of LSU’s medical staff Sunday morning who diagnosed the median nerve problem. An MRI showed no structural issues. Henry underwent laser treatment and dry needling to break up the scar tissue, and within minutes the nerve was firing correctly again, Jeff Henry said. He then went outside and threw without issue.

Dr. James Andrews is an LSU alum yet he’s employed by Auburn. Wtf is that about? We need to bring him home like Woodward.

Playing Devil’s Advocate here
Obviously training staff could tell it wasn’t serious
The team Dr. would have looked at him Monday
Henry’s parents were here for Supers, his Dad being a pitching coach (could be wrong as to his exact job) knew of a Dr. that he wanted him to see
I don’t think LSU’s staff would have had trouble diagnosing, his Dad just decided to go ahead & get the ball rolling
Nowhere does it say this was he has had this issue before

Why not both

The current medical field is on the fence of whether or not laser is proven to be an effective treatment (It obviously is). Insurance company's today still do not cover laser therapy as a therapeutic way to relieve muscle, ligamentus and joint pain. I am unsure of this medical doctors perspective on this matter but that could be a reason why he did not receive laser treatment. Hopefully in the coming year laser will be used as a standard of care prior to other more invasive therapies such as steroid shots, etc.

But was he throwing 95?

I have a six year old pit bull who was literally dying from osteoarthritis. She was in so much pain she could barely walk.
I took her to 5 different vets in Louisiana and Mississippi and none of them did anything to help her.
Finally, I took her to Dr. Jacob Church in Ocean Springs. He put her on a new medication and literally the very next day she was moving around as well as she has in years.
He previously had saved the life of one of my other dogs when I was living in the MS coast.
Point being, not all doctors are the same. Just because they have the same qualifications doesn’t mean they’re equally good at what they do. Some are just better and more knowledgeable than others.
Same as with any other profession.
Reevaluating the medical staff is not some radical idea. If not pleased with the bottom line results, then they should absolutely be looked at to determine their role if any in the reoccurring problems we’ve seen with injuries.
I know it’s not an apples to apples comparison, but the point stands.

I’ve been saying this. Yes, throwing a baseball is unnatural and damages are bound to happen, but not at this rate. People tried to normalize losing half our staff to injury the past 2 years but it’s just not realistic. The 1 and 2 year long recovery for minor injuries are not normal either.

Most of LSU's teams utilize Baton Rouge Orthopedic Clinic physicians. This is the same practice the Saints switched over to as well. My personal opinion is a change in the training staff is needed. The Pelicans just recently hired away the trainer from the Phoenix Suns whom many consider the best in the business of basketball. It's all about tailoring the conditioning and treatment of players. Something isn't right within the training staff of the LSU baseball program. There are to many ailments, sore arms, injuries, etc. I highly doubt it is due to the work of BROC.

Actually a lot of pro franchises across all sports do this.
Not only do they bring in diff medical guys, but diff training staff that have new and diff ways to get the best out of them and limit injuries.
Hmmm

Dr. Field is one of the best wing guys in the South. He has surgically reconstructed thousands of elbows and shoulders for athletes and non athletes. He is at the forefront of rehabilitation protocols and he’s also an advocate for methodically developing players to help reduce injuries. He’s a great one.
