Cowboys’ team doctor is confident in Jaylon Smith’s knee

[JoeKing]

Motive for misleading the team to devote resources to a player who will never play again? Seems like that would be counterproductive towards is career as team doctor.

Not misleading. He's just making a business decision.

Because Smith will never play again and the doctor isn't letting that cat out of the bag.

so the doctor knew this before his employer drafted Smith and he either told them but the Cowboys chose
to pick him or the doctor knew this before the draft and keep it from the employer, no further comments

 

[JoeKing]

As you missed reality.

Thanks for being offended by an opinion, how big of you.

you've stirred clear of logic class,huh

Just as you are offended for not providing facts to back up knowing 100% JSmith's future. How big of you. Over and over you say it's the truth, with nothing to back it up. Show us something of that truth that we can see factually. Not your opinion.

 

[JoeKing]

Your argument is completely illogical. Poor outcomes can happen in the best of surgical circumstances; if there is no incompetence or negligence, there is limited liability. Any attempt to lie about the results or consequences will increase the liability several fold. A physician can be found to have acted in good faith and expertise, and be held harmless. If he misrepresents the facts in any way, he loses all credibility and will be held responsible at least for ethical violations. The CYA you speak of would therefore become a harbinger of guilt, so it doesn't happen that way.

Any particular reason for your negativity?

Bad things happen

Promising but I would feel better about it if Jerry would have gotten a chance to do a little exploratory surgery before the draft.

How do you know he didn't?

Not misleading. He's just making a business decision.

Which is? If he knew Smith won't play again he wouldn't have given his seal of approval; he has everything to lose and nothing to gain by misleading his employer.

Whatever... your conspiracy theory is as good as anyone else's.

Right, but why are so so sure this one of them, contrary to current evidence?

I'm just expressing an opinion.

It's my opinion and never said it was anything else.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

I'm just expressing an opinion.

You said it was 100% truth. You didn't begin in the thread saying it was just your opinion.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

It's my opinion and never said it was anything else.

No, you stated it was 100% truth.

 

[JoeKing]

I respect your opinion.

Your exact quote from page 1....

"I don't care if you believe me. I told you the truth, believing it is up to you. It doesn't change the outcome one way or the other. Smith will never play again."

 

[JoeKing]

Right, but why are so so sure this one of them, contrary to current evidence?

Not sure why it matters. I have a feeling about what will happen so I expressed it. Doesn't make it so.

 

[JoeKing]

No, you stated it was 100% truth.

I never said anything about "100%".

Yes... the truth as I know it. And as it hasn't happened yet, you can't dispute it.

Are you intentionally spouting this lol-worthy rubbish in attempt to irritate people? Or do you actually believe your self-produced lol-worthy rubbish?
