Likewise, there's no answer for why else Paul Dehner Jr would reach out to the Director of Surgery in Santa Monica, California to get her perspective on this... especially if appendectomies are so routine that, in your own words, you "don't fly somewhere" to get them and they "don't have 'appendix' specialists in different states." Lol right?? Would that not mean she'd have a peer in Ohio who could speak to this? Where Dehner is located? Where the Bengals are located??? Particularly if that's where Joe himself is having the surgery??? Lmaoo

Camp started on July 27 and that's also when he went under the knife. That's all we know. To my knowledge, there's no account of Joe in Cincy at that time. Maybe most notably for me, I remember hearing (I think it was on a news update on the radio?) that Joe was in Cali for it. That's not revisionist history, either. That's literally what prompted my comment in the first place. Bringing it back full circle, nobody's saying he "flew" out there. You're talking to someone who literally had the same procedure done. I took the dirty ol' bus to the ER, and even that felt like I was scaling Mount Everest; had I taken the plane I assume I would have died.

So let's check the know-it-all snark at the door next time lol

That was part of my answer that i didn't expand on. A person wouldn't take a plane if they knew they had to have an appendix removed due to the pressurization of an airplane.
