Fundamentally, it comes down to what LSU knew about Brooks original complaints and what they did or didn’t do in responding.
It absolutely does not. He was an ADULT and had parents. At any time any of them could have gotten other opinions. They could have chosen any Dr they wanted including coming to MD Anderson for a second opinion.
None of that matters.

Even then, the best they could do is have sped what became cancer treatment to him.

I’m no lawyer, but he’s suing LSU for negligence. Negligence has a legal standard. If LSU can show they followed a routine standard of care then Brooks will have a hard time proving negligence.

But I did learn something thanks to your post. I didn’t realize the surgeon that performed the surgery was a specialist in minimally invasive procedures. That raises a red flag because brain tumor removal surgery has no place in the minimum invasive conversation.

Ummmm that was not “contracted”. The Dr had privileges there. The imaging was likely done there or at the NMC and the Dr was referred by another Dr. The Dr that performed the surgery, like 99% of drs performing any surgeries like this typically have privileges at the several hospitals or groups of hospitals.
If you have a heart condition do you actually believe the surgeon is employed by OLOL? What about the anesthesiologist? Wait until you get the bills from both separate from the hospital. The hospital is just the facility where the surgery happened. It could have just as easily happened at any hospital where the surgeon had privileges.

It is a very high risk procedure that is absolutely necessary. I have had experience in that area through 2 close friends. They were both treated at MD Anderson here in Houston. Both died within 5 years when the cancer came back.

Do you think OLOL performed the surgery or selected the Dr? That is not the case. Brooks himself, if he were competent, would have had to sign-off on the procedure and the Dr - NO EXCEPTIONS. He was an ADULT. Once he did that, it was all between him and the Dr. Like I said, the venue did not matter one bit unless a machine broke or a nurse did something that made the procedure go wrong.
Every single specialist have “contracts” to get privileges to perform surgeries at hospitals but they don’t work for just one hospital.
All of this is recorded and all of it is available for every procedure. Good luck with getting anything out of a hospital - first hand experience with a family member speaking getting staph at OLOL and we know it happened there. That staph ultimately led to her death. We had the best medical malpractice attorney in La working that case and they didn’t settle and we didn’t prove it. The attorney doesn’t charge unless they win. This went on for 4 years.

The post said he was a specialist in minimally invasive spine surgeries as well as a host of other things. He gave you a long list of other things and you Cherry picked one word to try and make a point.

With that, do you think you may have a little bias or animosity against that group?
Then you know about the paperwork that is gone through in cases like this. The surgery was signed off by Greg and his family just like your wife’s sister did.
Also, you know the survival long term prognosis is LOW especially considering how this type of cancer comes back with a vengeance. It just doesn’t matter.
It was 2 for 2.
What people fail to grasp is cancer doesn’t give a shite about how old you are or in shape you are or how much money you have. It has one objective with great focus - kill its host. That’s it.

Just go away already. It’s a shame that Greg Brooks’s family is getting involved with this ambulance chaser. He said, He said, who cares? Go away and let’s prepare for 2025.

Nobody prevented him. In hindsight, he probably should have left the football team on August 5 once he passed out at practice, threw up and was only given zofran from a trainer without seeing the team doctor at or after practice and called The Neuromedical Center for further evaluation and testing. Thats easy to say now and would have been viewed at as incredibly overdramatic at the time.
If he had done that, how much difference in the outcome would there have been?
Did waiting 30 days or so make a difference?
Posted on 2/8/25 at 10:05 am to Tiger1988
She wasn’t seeing ghosts but she got to a point where she was sort of oblivious to her prognosis. She had the absolute best attitude and positive spirit about her she was convinced she could beat it.
And yes, I do have bias and animosity toward this group. We sat around and waited far too long between the first and second surgeries. I’m not saying she wouldn’t have succumbed had they done something sooner but I’m convinced the lack of urgency to treat her diminished her quality of life following the first surgery where they elected to be minimally invasive and not take more of the tumor.

Thank you for repeating exactly what I said.
I’m at a loss for what point(s) you’re trying to make in this thread. Closest I can come is you’ve got some issue with OLOL and think Brooks should have been treated elsewhere. And that’s fine.
Maybe he would have had a better outcome with a different surgeon, maybe not. And while a stressful situation, he could have declined and elected to seek a second opinion. But, you use the resources you have available.
His suit alleges the doctor was unqualified. He has to argue that or his suit has no merit. But not being the #1 surgeon in that area isn’t the same as unqualified.

The only mention of brain tumor surgery in the entire write up says he “managed” brain tumor surgeries, not performed. Just because someone manages a construction site, it doesn’t mean he knows how to float drywall. The write-up then goes on to mention minimally invasive several times.
Ignorant statement in regards to the surgeon's qualifications.
I’m sorry, but if someone is going to operate on my brain, I’d want the surgeon to have the skill to (facetiously speaking) remove my brain, clean it off, then put it back in. Which is hardly minimally invasive.
Regarding the repeating of the timeframe, he had skilled medical professionals looking over him, misdiagnosing him, and mistreating him day 1 of the 39 day window. Most people probably wouldn’t even see a doctor ‘til day 40 or so after symptoms.
