I thought one key situation happened was to go ahead with emergency surgery without a second opinion and the doctor who performed the surgery wasn't qualified to do the surgery. That right there is why there is a lawsuit in the first place. Why was the rush to have the surgery done? Yes it was needed done ASAP but a day or two to get the right surgeon to get it done. Parents should have been contacted first before doing the surgery. This smell fishy right there.
Plus, the parents were left in the dark.

The doctor that did the surgery was an extremely established and well known national neurosurgeon.
quote:
Dr. Brandon G. Gaynor, M.D. is a Board-Certified Neurosurgeon, who graduated from the rigorous combined 6-year BA/MD program at the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2009. Dr. Gaynor completed his residency in Neurological Surgery in 2016, at University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he trained under the founders of The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a world-renowned center for spinal cord injury treatment and research.
Dr. Gaynor specializes in adult neurosurgery including degenerative disease of the spine, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, sciatica, radiculopathy, cranial and spinal trauma, spine fracture, hydrocephalus, and peripheral nerve disorders. He also has extensive experience in the surgical management of brain conditions such as stroke, brain tumor, and subdural hematoma. A strong advocate of conservative care, Dr. Gaynor shares all care options with patients and employs minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible. Dr. Gaynor has a strong clinical interest in minimally invasive spine surgery, brain tumors, and neurosurgical trauma. Dr. Gaynor has experience with image guided, robotic spine surgery, endoscopic, lateral lumbar fusion, and minimally invasive tubular spine surgery.
And the parents were there the ENTIRE time. They were also there thanking lsu in public interviews and during the time lsu was fundraising for brooks and putting his number on the field and on their helmets….
I truly think some of yall should not be allow to vote. Why, just why, would lsu do all of this for a player and then just ditch him for zero reasons?

LSU has no culpability in Greg Brooks developing a brain tumor.
No, but they do have some culpability in his health care when at school sanctioned events such as football practice. They have culpability to look out for his best interest when he passes out at practice. When he has recurring neurological symptoms they have culpability to diagnose him correctly before he is released back to full contact practice.
When a player injures a knee or ankle, they will have an MRI performed immediately as soon as the swelling allows. If a player hurts his knee on Saturday, he almost always has a MRI diagnosis by Monday morning. Many players are going into surgery by then, 48 hours or less from the initial injury.
But in the Brooks case it took 39 days before they performed a MRI. And this was a head/brain issue. You would think that any medical staff today would put a much higher emphasis on a potential brain injury than they would a torn ACL. But they clearly didn’t.
He went through all of fall practice and played in two games while suffering off and on symptoms before it got so bad they performed an MRI.
Most LSU fans are saying it is normal to wait weeks to get an MRI. And maybe for a regular Joe off the street it is. But the speed with which D-1 athletes receive MRIs for orthopedic injuries show they aren’t waiting in any lines, they get in as soon as possible. At most within a few days. Not 5 weeks.
That is what this will ultimately come down to, the care he received over the 39 days from when he first passed out in practice to when he had the MRI. I think the fact they allowed him to play two games with a brain tumor despite college athletes having immediate access to the most modern medical equipment is going to be hard to explain to a jury.
LSU fans better hope the jury is composed of all LSU fans who have already decided LSU can not be guilty period.

But in the Brooks case it took 39 days before they performed a MRI.
For whatever reason you do not want to acknowledge the fact that the doctors diagnosed Brooks with a tumor over TWICE AS QUICK as the median average time it takes to diagnosis a brain tumor
And this case as no chance to make it to court. It would get crushed in summary judgement

Again, it's unfortunate that the family chose this route. There are people saying BK stayed overnight with this kid in his hospital room, LSU did tons for Brooks, and this is how they get repaid.
If you LSU peeps are unhappy with Greg Brooks and his family over this...
You all are going to love you some Nic Anderson.

Yes, it takes weeks for the average person to get scheduled for a MRI.
MRI Scheduling: What’s the Hold Up
Yes, it usually takes weeks to schedule an MRI. But not for college athletes. They receive them immediately, as soon as possible. And as the quote above shows, they can push patients in the same day for things such as severe headaches.
If LSU tries to use the “it takes weeks to get an MRI” defense in court they will get torn apart by lawyers. They will pull put out example after example of LSU football players receiving MRIs in a matter of days, not weeks. It is NOT normal for a college football player needing a MRI (and Brooks clearly needed an MRI) to wait weeks for a MRI. It just doesn’t happen. Except in this case.
Since you are holding tight to the idea it takes 6 weeks to get an MRI, explain the speed that college football players receive them.
MRI Scheduling: What’s the Hold Up
quote:
Dandino: Dr. Jones, we often receive a lot of feedback from our families about how frustrating it can be to schedule a timely MRI appointment at Children’s Hospital’s Main Base location. When they call in to get the exam scheduled, it is often 3, 4, or even 6 weeks before they can get a spot on the schedule. Why is it so difficult to book a time?
Dr. Jones: That’s a great question, Tony. As most of our patients and families know, we have a lot of MR scanners here at the main hospital and multiple additional scanners at our satellite locations in Green Township, Liberty Township, and Kenwood. With such a large number of machines it would seem like we should be able to get our patients their MRI scans in no time at all. As a matter of fact, if you call in the morning to get a brain MRI performed on a 14-year-old with new severe headaches, we can usually do it on the same day; however, a lot of our patients have special needs that make it more difficult to seamlessly fit them into the schedule.

Were you the guy claiming to be a lawyer? I guess we will see how good a lawyer you are with this prediction.

Greg Brooks, Sr. showed up at one of our local TAF group weekly meetings.
Our group was very interested in what was going on with Greg Jr. and even sent financial contributions while he was in the hospital. While he was in the hospital, the family went radio silent to our inquiries.
With 20/20 hindsight, there was some sort of ulterior purpose to Greg Sr. showing up at our group.
IMO this is a lose-lose for all parties involved.

Do you honestly believe his parents were not contacted and did not give consent to have the surgery performed? They live less than two hours away from Baton Rouge. Your hard on for Kelly is too much, man.

Suffering a football related injury is different than having an unrelated preexisting medical condition.
You seem to have trouble understanding that.

Did LSU pay the money back that was used to benefit LSU football? yes or no?
If no it is 100% true.

The parents said the surgeon was not qualified. That is what I am questioning. Don't attack me if the parents said that. I am posting what the parents were saying. That is why there is a lawsuit right now. The parents were either misinformed or hadn't been telling the whole truth.
