I love how the article calls the trainer a "Doctor" when he doesn't have a medical degree! |

I love how the article calls the trainer a "Doctor" when he doesn't have a medical degree! Not the article but rather Powell and his attorney. The author of the article correctly points out the named individual (SH's director of sports medicine) is not a doctor. |

I love how the article calls the trainer a "Doctor" when he doesn't have a medical degree! Others than MDs have earned the "doctor" title (with an EdD or a PhD). It appears, however, that this does not apply to Testa. A "graduate of Southern Connecticut State University, Testa earned his master's degree in education in sports administration from Temple in 2002." Being director of sports medicine does not, by itself, merit the title "doctor." |

There's a lot missing from the article, things which may or may not have happened.
For example, what transpired between KW saying "it looks like a serious ankle injury and he might be out for quite some time" and that injury being a bone bruise in the knee area that the trainer thought was ok to play on?
Then, in the ensuing days/weeks, the young man has a lot of knee pain and ends up getting injections...and there's no MRI done??? The injections are done by a trainer, not authorized by any person w/a medical degree?
On the other hand, in this day and age; there are very few lottery picks who are 4 year players in college and aren't big guys who either grew late or developed late. So I call bs on that.

The Complaint filed by a Plaintiff tends to be somewhat one-sided and not always consistent with the facts as they emerge through discovery. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out. It’s entirely possible Seton Hall screwed the guy but I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion yet.

It’s entirely possible Seton Hall screwed the guy but I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion yet. Attorneys make all the difference too. A player in a softball league I've been involved with for years (and years) brought a suit against the Town of Framingham after running into a chain link outfield fence that was not the safest by any means. If I had to make a judgement on what I knew about the condition of the fence, I'd have favored the defendant. After I read the complaint, I'd not have awarded the guy a dime, it was so poorly prepared. |

After I read the complaint, I'd not have awarded the guy a dime, it was so poorly prepared. On jury duty I had the same reaction to a poorly argued case by a defendants attorney (and the defendant's testimony). They clearly believed they had nothing to fear. Their attitude led to a poor attitude in answers and a weak defense..and a multi-million dollar judgment against the. doctor who was being sued. My wife had a similar experience on jury duty. The prosecutor was so certain the jury would convict the accused that he did a poor job in presenting his case (and, yes, race may have played a role in this case - the too common "if he did not do this he probably did many other things for which he should serve time" attitude). |
