Kirby Jackson Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 The good news for Tyrod is he’s about to be quite rich (not that he wasn’t already). It’s going to be interesting to watch this situation unfold from a liability and work comp standpoint. 1
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I figure this has to get more views. When we were down in Miami a bunch of years back. That's me of course channeling my inner @Gugny Hey! Bills won... You would too! Edited September 23, 2020 by ExiledInIllinois

Kelly the Dog Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Maybe Tyrod was just trying to elude a direct hit. That’s his best quality as a QB.
JMF2006 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 The Chargers fans should be thanking DR Doom (just don't let him near Hebert)

It does not automatically mean a lawsuit is justified. A complication does not equal malpractice. I would guess this is an excellent and well-trained physician who feels horrible and is embarrassed that this happened and now has the world judging him/her. Hopefully the Chargers followed all customary processes of informed consent, etc, or then in that case they could have a problem. 2

Hopefully the Chargers followed all customary processes of informed consent, etc, or then in that case they could have a problem. It’s not naive at all. I work in insurance and watch work comp and malpractice all day long. Any lawyer worth $.10 will be able to talk through this. He was supposed to be starting a game for a NFL almost immediately after this. This isn’t one of those “are you sure you want to go through with this” situations. Was the doctor working on behalf of the player or the team? If they can link this to him losing his job and his future earnings because of that they are screwed. This one is pretty simple from that standpoint. It’s just a matter of where the number ends up.

Say what you want about Tyrod, but he was always a standup guy (and still appears to be). Me too. Imagine being TT and sitting there hearing Herbert is having a strong game while at the hospital recovering from a doctors mistake. He must have been so frustrated and pissed knowing that this probably cost him his job. And worse yet, it’s going to turn the fans on him too because the moment TT struggles all the boos will come strong as they will want the new kid. 2
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Poor TT... lousy turn for him. Once again sitting out with a winning record. Edited September 23, 2020 by Over 29 years of fanhood
Alaska Darin Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Tyrod wasn't doing a good enough job killing his last chance to be QB1? Send in the doc!

I'd posit that perhaps medical innovation needs to get to the point where puncturing a lung isn't a known complication for something like administering a painkiller. Unfortunately a great deal of money for medical innovation is going to fix people's erections and not more effective tools for accomplishing more mundane everyday tasks. 1

It is exceptionally common for players to get nerve blocks, toradol injections, etc prior to games. I disagree with your assertion that any lawyer gets a payout here if proper informed consent was obtained. Guess we will find out.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 No laughing matter, a punctured lung can kill you. This guy should be stripped of his medical license.
