Mixon Could Have High Ankle Sprain

Going back to the source, here are four comments from the CJ article:

Quote:Look this guy up. He has a very unsavory reputation as an NFL doctor and had like 20 malpractice lawsuits against him from Chargers players.

Quote:The guy you apparently trust is a twitter guy now is because of several lawsuits from former Chargers (where he used to be a team doc) -- including allegations that he performed surgery while high and wrote prescriptions for known addicts, the NFLPA requesting the NFL to make a formal review of his practices, and numerous other "definitely not malpractice" incidents (including disfiguring a teenage girl).
So... I probably wouldn't trust him.

Quote:Isn't this the same doctor who got in trouble when he was with the Chargers years ago for prescribing Ambien to Junior Seau (shortly before he killed himself)? I'd take his opinion with a grain of salt. This guy doesn't have the best reputation.

Quote:From an article on the Junior Seau business:





“The nexus between physician substance abuse, reckless prescribing, and medical negligence, abetted by the lack of statewide drug and alcohol testing, is crystallized in the case of David Chao, who should long ago have relinquished his license but for the revolving door of treatment facilities, lax doctor discipline, and failure of legal deterrence in California, ” wrote Consumer Watchdog’s Jamie Court and Michael Kapp to the medical board, in calling for an immediate interim suspension of Chao’s license.


Dr. Chao has a long record of alcohol abuse, including two DUIs, at least twenty malpractice lawsuits from Chargers players and members of the public, an investigation by the DEA into prescriptions Dr. Chao allegedly wrote to himself, and accusations that he enabled his former partner’s prescription drug addiction.

Again, in the end, the guy may be correct in the diagnosis, but he's literally making said diagnosis by watching TV (they didn't even show the play he hurt himself, FFS) and has a sullied (and deserved) reputation.

I would ignore this like the plague.
