I don't think he had a concussion to begin with

Stick with that med device development gig. After asking whether an eighty year old post heart transplant Pt with obvious mobility issues etc. might have health problems last year or so, and now questioning whether Luke had a concussion given extensive eval by two board certified neurologists coupled with his Hx, you might want to reconsider if you ever get the urge to go clinical. Just sayin'.

Do you have any clue the liability of clearing him medically and you're wrong. Medical professionals typically err on the side of caution and given that concussions aren't an exact science yet I could easily see a neurologist saying let's just give him another week. Thanks for checking my credentials, I'm certain YouTube gave you the depth of knowledge you needed to make the assessment.

 

BTW that medical device thing just got nominated for 2017 healthcare tech small business startup of the year :)

 Yeah, I know a little about liability in healthcare, and elsewhere. Liability, you might say, is my third career and most recent grad prof degree. Another is in a med field with heavy neuro focus. I doubt that Dx would be tossed out unless it was clear from the assessments, or just couldn't be ruled out. Also, think about it, it's gotta be traumatic for him just thinking he got a third. And again, it's a concussion protocol. Tons of pro discretion allowed, but criteria are required to go in, and get out. Then there's the hit. More than sufficient to cause one.

Congrats for sure, and enjoy that Lambo like it was meant to be enjoyed. You were smart. While I blew six figures going to school far too many times, you were actually making a crap load of money. Must be nice.

TD mentioned it's unclear whether he had one or not.

If that's the case, then using the "rule out" way of doing things, in he went. I still have a hard time believing that with over a half dozen tests, something didn't sway them towards that direction.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
