Does seem odd. He mentioned he had it taken care of so it was something. I'm guessing the redskins were known to handle players medicals very poorly even before it became public knowledge and that caused the bills and their doctors to prepare him for the worst but who knows. In the same interview he said washington doctors mis diagnosed a torn hamstring and told him it was just a strain.

In the same interview he said washington doctors mis diagnosed a torn hamstring and told him it was just a strain. There's no evidence he had any brain surgery in Washington as a result of the misread MRI in Buffalo. Also, Compton's recent on air retelling of his hamstring injury being "missed" is at odds with what he had said before his first practice for the Skins: “Bro, my hamstring is bad,” Compton explained. “It’s shot.” The two met for dinner and Compton explained everything. He’d been duct taping his leg to hold his hamstring together because he knew if the coaching staff caught wind of his injury, he’d be sent packing. Compton was on the bottom of the depth chart with two guys in front of him sitting out due to injury. Compton’s chance had arrived to be on the second team defense, but his hamstring was in shambles. Wherever the ball was, his No. 51 was next to it. Compton made several interceptions and was having the practice of his life while secretly playing with what they would find out later was a torn hamstring. So if he's now claiming that the Skins "missed" a torn hamstring, he FOS, just like the MRI that apparently was misread by the Buffalo medical staff as serious, but wasn't.

I am reading it like they did a preliminary scan saw something suspicious and told him to go get it checked out by his own doctor/specialist with a referral. As part of that they would have prepared him for it being anything from a benign cyst to untreatable cancer. It would be really weird if they used an MRI by an nfl medical team as the basis to cur someone open, especially their brain.

If you aren't aware of St. Joe's reputation, than I feel bad for you if you ever have to be admitted there. Another one of CHS hospitals(South Buffalo Mercy) isn't much better.

You think the MRI they did was the most definitive and final test before surgery (genuine question, I'm totally speculating here and looking to be taught)? Just the way I think of it is they would do a test with a low false negative rate, but high false positive and then refer to a specialist and the actual surgeon that would operate for the final really highly accurate (though expensive) test...guessing that would be a biopsy or something.

Not to knock anything, I just hear locals say that a lot and wonder how true it is. I won't get into rankings besides agreeing with another poster that there are lots of good cancer hospitals around the country. What I want to say is that most cancers are not rare exotic cancers requiring cutting edge medical treatments. Most cancers that are caught early respond well to established treatment procedures. My wife survived (10 years so far) her stage 2 breast cancer after surgery at Sisters Hospital in Buffalo and chemotherapy provided by an oncologist in Chautauqua County. I'm still cancer free 3 years after stage 2 lung cancer following surgery in Sayre, PA and chemo in Corning, NY. What good cancer centers may provide are better diagnostics for early cancers. Standard mammography for instance can miss a lot of stage 1 cancers because many women have what is called "dense breasts" and tumors don't show up well at all against normal tissue. There is more sophisticated testing available at good cancer hospitals. My wife had a mammogram 3 months before she found a lump herself. In my case, doctors didn't pay enough attention to a spot in my lung on CT scans taken for other reasons, or my cancer would have been diagnosed at stage 1, possibly 3 years earlier.

An MRI would be the test that would distinguish between a benign and a malignant lesion, as far as imaging goes. i can’t find any source or link that says this guy had any brain surgery of any kind performed.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 While his isn't exactly medical staff related, on ESPN this afternoon they were giving the Bills credit for sending the rookies home as they viewed it as kind of a "fire drill" as to how they'd handle positive cases during the season, do they have a plan, how well will it work. Who knows if that was the Bills intent, but they were giving them credit for it and suggested all teams should do a similar thing.
