So...hey...how about taking an honest look at the team's medical staff?

Do they have licensed doctors on the medical staff? "Mild" concussion and now this.

I knew there was a neck problem, heck, even the hit itself reflected at least wip lash or something. When Crosby had his set back and explained his symptoms, I was really thinking he must have had a bad disc or something with the neck because what he described was exactly the same problem I had. The stupid doctors refused to listen to me and ensured me it was concussion related as well. Unfortunately for me, I had to continue on with life and ultimately started to lose function in my right arm as a result of the disc getting so bad from the work I do. Oh, then they realized the disc problem and what seemed to be a healed fracture and spur.
Anyways, I ended up having to get a fusion but I remember the headaches, especially if I played hockey or really did anything where I moved my head quickly or a certain way. The head aches would come the next day. I could almost predict them.
Too bad Sid trusted these guys so much. I am glad he found out what was wrong, I bet the head aches are from the neck problem. However, I wouldn't bet the doctors will say it is. For whatever reason, they assured me the head aches where from something different. Yet, they disappeared after the surgery was completed and I healed. So DAH ?? I mean your brain fluid is in your spine, my thoughts were it was inflamed in the disc area and pushing on my skull, since the brain has no nerves, so they told me. I will still get headaches on an occasion if I really move in a way that stresses that area, but my discs were between the c7- to c-6 and they also fused the c-6 to the c-5 as well because he said it was deteriorating and with the scar tissue from the first surgery, it was best they just took care of it in one shot.
Sorry, don;t mean to go on and on, but it still has me PO'd, especially to see what Crosby had went through this past year. He seemed to really trust these guys, his first mistake.... Get better Sid !!

This whole fiasco, plus Neal with the "broken foot" really makes the med staff look like a bunch of clueless hacks. Maybe the Pens team-wide injury problems the past 2 seasons could have been less severe with capable doctors. The guy sees Sid for the first time and finds the neck injury while the team MD didn't notice this in a years time, seriously?! If I am RS, I would definitely be making some changes to the medical staff, this is ridiculous
