:rolleyes:;):cool::D:o:eek:
 
Hey, Cy. After attacking me in the other thread and basically telling me I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, guess what?

Neal S. ElAttrache, M.D., is a Sports Medicine Surgeon and is member of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic board of directors. Specializing in sports medicine

Sure, he can and should seek out opinions. But don't you think the Jazz, who are set to pay Exum around $23M over 5 years should have MAJOR input? Also, the Jazz have or have access to a wealth of information and relationships with the best surgeons in the country. The real decision should be where he wants to have his surgery done: by someone in SLC or somewhere like Kerlan-Jobe in Los Angeles, probably the most renowned clinic in the world for sports-related injuries.

I misread the doctors name as ElAttache. fitting name for a guy operating on broken ligaments.

Yes, I do. Having lived in LA for quite some time, I already knew about Kerlan-Jobe. They're contracted by many sports team, not just the LA-based ones. My wife also worked there for a couple of years (recovery nurse) and took care of athletes from a variety of sports, actors, celebrities...even a Saudi prince. She said the most common surgeries were for pitchers - a lot of shoulder and arm injuries.

She could never tell me names, of course (patient confidentiality), but I was able to guess in many instances. Funniest story she told was of overhearing a pitcher's wife on her cell phone reporting that her husband had torn his labia.

Not THAT kind of taking care. At least not that I'm aware of. :mad:
Probably would have been worth it for the Saudi prince. She said they had to clear out an entire wing, bring in all sorts of extras (particular foods, etc.) and he had quite an entourage of attendants.
 
OK, so is anyone gonna actually wish Dante well & happy recovery so when he reads this thread it puts a smile on his face??????
