Blazers still haven't heard opinion of Roy's left knee from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who just finished surgery on Blazers guard Elliot Williams


heres the o-live article http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2010/11/trail_blazers_still_awaiting_f.html

Here's what makes me question the Blazers medical staff. In the article it states that new no images of Roy's knee was taken because the medical staff FELT no acute injury has taken place. Now, why wouldn't they take new images of Roy's knee so Dr. ElAttrache would have the most up to date images on the knee. What, it wasn't in the budget to have images taken of your franchise player? I mean how much effort does it really take to sit Roy in a MRI machine to scan for new images? I just don't get it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Jesus. The shit Cho brought with him was taken in MAY. And he still hasn't looked at it. They could have just fed-ex'd it.

On Wednesday, Cho flew to Los Angeles to deliver film work of Roy’s left knee. The film work ElAttrache will study was taken in May.

The Blazers did not send Roy to Los Angeles for a personal examination, and didn’t take new pictures of his knee because the Blazers medical staff feels no acute injury has taken place. Instead, they feel Roy’s swelling and pain is merely a reoccurrence of symptoms Roy feels every season. The hope is that Roy’s knee will recover as in previous seasons.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I have zero faith in the Blazers medical staff FWIW. I can't believe he is having these problems and they don't send him for an exam with something this monumental.

Nobody has any reason to trust the Blazer medical staff at this point.

I will put $10 on Roy playing less than 25 minutes today. I hope I'm out $10, though, I really do.

It makes no sense at all.

Why even bother at all if you're just going to send old scans?

Jason Quick just said on 95.5 The Game that no new MRI images have been taken on Roy's knee because Roy is claustrophobic and doesn't want to get into an MRI machine. REALLY!??? You are paying this guy $85 million! You do whatever it takes to make him get a new MRI. Who is running this organization?

Shut up... No time for jokes!!! But that is funny

I'm sorry, but that sounds like a blatant lie. That would be like Przybilla saying he didn't want surgery to repaid his tendon because he "was afraid of knives," or like McMillan saying he didn't want to run more than 3 offenses because he doesn't want to "get confused."

...wait a second...

Pure BS, I've had 3 MRI's done om my knees and for those only the lower body goes in the machine. Now I have claustrophobic issues as well and when they tried to get me in one for my shoulder that I could not do, so they gave me some king of drug then no problemo.

OHSU has an open gantry MRI scanner, much bigger and more open then regular MRI machines. It was originally made for scanning race horses, lol. (Not the actual scanner that OHSU has, that model was originally designed for scanning larger things.)

 

[STOMP]

why posters are jumping to conclusions to blast medical professionals based on the latest from a proven lazy POS like Quick is beyond me. Based on years of his stuff, any Blazer fan should be aware that if it comes from Quick its worth taking with a grain of salt

STOMP

What I found funny was the backhanded slap by the Oregonian in the paper. They reported on Roy's knee and then next to that article they posted bios of all the guys on the training staff, as if to say, "these are the fuckers you should blame."

I worked for a medical imaging center in college. I remember one time this older guy took one look at the MRI machine and started freaking the fuck out. He backed himself against the far wall from it. He went pale and started sweating while frozen in fear against that wall. It turned out that he was on a submarine in WWII that was torpedoed and they were barely able to surface.

We were finally able to get him out of the room, then after he calmed down the doctor shot him up with an ass full of Valium and he was able to get his scan done.

Might be his knee was in this condition in May. If so then nothing is new. That would be bad news though because it should have got better by now.

Hell, I've had two MRIs on my brain/head, and I'm clausrophobic as hell. Getting an MRI on my left knee (done twice as well) was nothing compared to having my head put into a little halo thing that covers your face as well, going in headfirst instead of feet first like I did for my knee, and keeping your head and body still for an hour to the point you're almost afraid to blink because you don't want to have to start the scan over.

I find the claustrophobic excuse by Quick very funny.

I just posted about my head/brain MRIs, and they gave me a muscle relaxer as well both times. It wasn't easy, but I got through them both.

Next time you need to have one on your upper body tell the person scheduling the MRI that you're claustrophobic and ask for them to provide Valium. The exam will take a little longer and you'll have to have someone drive you home but it will make it much easier for you.

Maybe I am in the minority here and maybe this deserves its own thread but does anyone find it unusual that the Blazers team doctors DID NOT perform the surgery on Elliot Williams. I have not seen anyone discuss this and find it rather odd that no mention of this was made given the track record of our players injuries.

If you were Elliot Williams would you let them?

It is his body so he does get final say on who does what to it.


Unless he happens to pass out in Zbo's hotel suite at the Hotel Vintage Plaza.

You get that off a online article of a guy going on a rampage in Portland, right? I read the article and showed my wife his pic and it scared her.

You're retarded, and you should feel bad, because the answer is obvious, dumbass.

The Blazers wanted him to actually get a good surgery.

Duh.

 

[Blazer4life]

On another note, while I am not an orthopedic surgery and have no expertise on knee injuries other then general knowledge of time frames for the healing process, I also must add that I find this whole story rather strange that an orthopedic surgeon who receives the MRI images on Wednesday afternoon has not had time to look at the images yet and to come to a conclusion as to what he thinks he sees on the films. I am a podiatrist, order a fair amount of MRI's myself for my patients and when I get the images literally it takes me like 10 minutes to see what I need to see (if that). I am certain that the films have already been looked at, it would be silly if they haven't yet. My belief is that they were looked at and the doctor recommended a new series of films to be taken in order to compare and see if there was any new structural damage. Since the Blazers did not do this ahead of time I believe that they probably got Roy another MRI and will forward the new results of this to the LA doctor so he can compare the films. The reason they dont want to say anything is because I believe they don't want to jump the gun and say Roy is fine when they never ordered new films in the 1st place. I know quick is quick and has gotten many stories wrong in the past, but if this story is true and you read between the lines the Blazers medical staff are a bunch of idiots. THat might be why Cho saught out this other doctor to not only do Williams surgery but also evaluate Greg and Roy's films.

 

[Elvin Jones]

I think we can all assume that the Blazers have heard of UPS, and didn't need Cho to hand-deliver whatever he hand-delivered.

Not sure what the Blazers would even add this detail... the whole thing is confusing.

 

[Blazer4life]

Wow, thanks for the insight. That was a pointless post. With all of the questions pertaining to the Blazers medical staff and even recent articles written by Joe Freeman about who they are it was definitely a question that should be asked as to why the Blazers own team doctors did not do the surgery and if they are not the ones doing the surgery any longer are they being let go. There is no need for personal attacks.

...it was a joke. I totally agree with the question. I was trying to be funny. Please take the joke.
