M.O.A.B. Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Anyone know the name of the Bombers doctor? Their website lists only Alain Couture and he is an Athletic Therapist, not a doctor. I heard his name mentioned in Husler & Lawless yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 From the Wpg FP: "...Willy was examined at Investors Group Field immediately after the hit by team physician Dr. Peter MacDonald. MacDonald is regarded as one of the premier experts in sports medicine in Western Canada and is also the head physician for the Winnipeg Jets. He is a professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Manitoba. He is also the chief research and innovations officer at the Pan Am Clinic. MacDonald was joined by at least two other doctors and longtime Bombers trainer Al Couture in treating Willy and then supervising his return to the field this week..." I'm just gonna go ahead and trust this guy, if that's all right... GCJenks, Al Bundy, M.O.A.B. and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrg Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I honestly can't believe people are still arguing against the doctors. lol. Starting today I will be opening a brand new medical practise. No examinations necessary, I will provide you with your diagnosis based on intuition and preconceived bias. Super inexpensive too, as there is almost no overhead involved, what with having no medical equipment. Or training. Just a keyboard and the power of being an internet warrior. Huzzah!!! Now if you'll excuse me, there's a guy working in a warehouse 3 blocks away that I've never met before. I need to go tell him he has Lupus. Just the weirdest thing, I went there and told this guy I'd never spoken to before that he had Lupus, turns out he just recently took all the latest testing available for Lupus and was told by "qualified" doctors that he did not have Lupus. Clearly there is a conspiracy of lies happening. I know what I know. He obviously has Lupus. Something about selling bridges. holoman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 ^^^^^^^^^ i own a competing warehouse and I want that guy's warehouse to fail. I think that he should sit out the next five weeks and the warehouse to close down "just in case" he has Lupus, even if the qualified doctors say that he doesn't.

TBURGESS Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yuk it up boys. The Bombers and their medical staff are completely above board. They've have never brought a franchise player back too soon from injury, especially a head shot. There's not a snowball's hope in hell that they'd ever do that. BTW: Buck says hello.

Question the doctor TBurg, maybe he has a contact info somewhere. Questioning the decision of the doctor is like questioning his 'integrity', dont you think? BTW, Mark Chipman is paying that doctor big $$$ to entrust the health of his multi-million Jets players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether on contract or an employee of the club is completely irrelevant. He has a little thing called a medical license and practice that he must protect in any eventuality. One would have to be wearing a tin-foil hat to think that a doctor of this stature would jeopardize his entire career for the sake of the pittance the Bombers are paying him to attend games.

Of course, a player can be brought back too soon from injury. Doctor's don't always get it right 100% of the time. Doesn't make it a conspiracy, or that they rushed. A doctor goes with the information they have and make the best possible determination with that information. In Buck's case it may have been too early. In the vast majority they got it right.

He was my surgeon and performed 3 procedures on me, and if him, as well as the others cleared Drew and determined that he didn't sustain any trauma whatsoever, then I am totally fine with that.

Who said it was a conspiracy? Not me. I was responding to the fanboys who are pretending that everyone thinks they are Dr's then making fun of that. I hope they got it right in Willy's case because if they didn't, we could lose our franchise QB again. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like complaining because the Bombers wait until the actual cut-down deadline to announce their cuts.

TBURGESS Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 The reason there are so many arguments around here is same folks just want to rehash the old ones over and over and over again. For example: The Bombers didn't stick to the last second for the second round of cuts. They announced at the same time as everyone else. [sarcasm Font On]I was expecting the fanboys who knew that there was only one right way to announce cuts... at the last second, to start complaining that the Bombers didn't know what they were doing that they needed to take all the time that was available to make the right, not the quick choices. That they couldn't possibly know who to cut unless they argued about it until the last possible second. That they may not be able to get hold of the players they needed to cut before the morning after the cuts. That anything else was stupid and illogical and everyone who thought differently than the fanboys was equally stupid and illogical. [\End Sarcasm Font] Bearpants... What you're missing is that the coaches, doctors, the players themselves and the concussion protocol are not infallible, The Bombers coaches, doctors and players have been wrong the recent past in similar circumstances when it comes to Buck. The possible outcome of being wrong is losing our best and maybe only chance of a winning season in Drew Willy for a longer period of time than 1 game.
