Benson, could, in theory, get ahead of the curve of other teams (and in fact some teams are doing this), and build a full fledged Sports Medicine center on the Pels/Saints Campus, strictly dedicated to the two teams.

It would have its own MRI machines, training equipment, rehab center, and a staff of handpicked doctors dedicated to the teams.

I know they probably have a smaller version of this on campus, but I'm talking about going all out.

Links to any of them? I am on Twitter and so far only see Keenan Lewis and people reporting on that.

3 surgeries sounds like he didn't know what he was doing on the first two surgeries.

I have been posting this on the board for several years. Ochsner pays the Saints and pelicans A few million a year in sponsorships and one of the stipulations is they must use their orthopedic surgeons. Both of these guys are not close the top in the city.

Suri's pretty good. You hear a lot of positives about him all over. Jones is the one people have questioned for quite some time.

Unfortunately for ochsner one of the best in the gulf and much of the South retired, Dr. Frank Warren. He would have been a damn good one to talk into working

If the Saints/Pels are contractually obligated to use Ochsner and they fired 2 doctors not long after Ochsner expanded their sponsorship, I wonder if the team will pick doctors for Ochsner to hire. I don't see how they can just think "next man up" from Ochsner is a good solution to the problem.

Jarrett Jack of the Pels for sure.

Wouldn't be surprised if Eric Gordon chimed in.

Jarrett Jack. I heard on the radio that other people have commented but I can't find it anywhere.

The first was a tibial osteotomy and then a meniscus transplant. The final was a scope to clean out the scar tissue from the other surgeries. The osteotomy had to be done and healed before I could get the transplant.

He can call Cosby to ask him about his supplier.

But it's just like I said most of the injuries haven't been on the staff, but they have been clearly misdiagnosed after they happen.

So don't expect injuries to magically disappear, but at least the players can get the proper treatment immediately instead of waiting for weeks for something to heal when it never will.
