He undoubtedly knows more than any non-medical professional on the planet, but just because he was an NFL doc, doesn't mean he's NOT at the lowest of the list of NFL docs.
And if he was as trustworthy and skilled as other orthopedic surgeons, he would still be employed by an NFL team: that's the most damning thing of all.
To the bolded, maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't. I'm sure his surgery schedule has something to do with his other activities. Working for the NFL may have been costing him money. Who knows. Look, this has gone off the rails. Someone asked about calf injuries. I posted what Chao said about calf injuries, which is they tend to last longer and reoccur more often than hamstrings. That's all he said. "I" made the assertion that with only 3 games left, we may not see Hubbard or Hurst back because I know how long some hamstring injuries last. It's just a guess, made by me not him. I mean, Waynes had a hamstring keep him out an entire season. Most people who get them miss several games, so if a calf is worse, it's not unthinkable neither would be back this season. Of course, Hurst is several weeks in front of Hubbard timewise, and we all hope both are back very quickly. This was not intended to be a "Dr. Chao is the end all be all" type thread, I just offered his explanation of what these injuries entail. If no one wants to listen to the guy, then don't, it's not a big deal.
