If that is a calf strain then it is a really bad one which is no joke. Those take forever to heal.

Man. Reminds me of "bad day/worse day".

I don’t wish an injury on anyone, but if it’s written in the stars that they must get injured, I’d rather it be when we’ve got their pick.

On the other side of this, when I ruptured my Achilles I had to keep working. My employer didn’t GAF. Both times.

Aren't Achilles injuries fairly easy to live with just for normal day to day things?

You’re thinking of ACLs and just wearing a brace until you have surgery. You can’t walk after an Achilles rupture because you have no ability to plantarflex your foot. All of your calf muscles become useless because they no longer have an attachment. You wouldn’t be able to do something like pushing on the accelerator or brakes. You’re also non-weight bearing for over a month. I started residency on the neurology consult service on crutches (meaning you’re going around every random place in the hospital all day), which was great. When I ruptured my other one two years later, I got a knee scooter, which was a huge game changer and a world of difference. I have no idea why that hadn’t crossed my mind before and why nobody had recommended it.

I’ve thought about using a knee scooter even when I’m not hurt. Looks way more fun than walking.

Curious what they come back with on the MRI… it looked like a classic Achilles tear with the way he kinda looked back. Either way I’d guess that’s a 10 game absence. That team is so wonky it might help them figure out some ****.

I think they should just pack it up, forfeit the season, send everyone to the Caribbean for some bonding and team building until March, then come back to training camp next year ready to go. That’s what would be in their best interest, or at least what I would suggest.

Nah, they don’t have the personnel.

You are a Dr… they should not go against doctors orders.

The shooting loss is huge.

Feel free to wish injuries on people. Wishes dont have any actual power.
