nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Seems strange to me that with resources at our disposal, two concurrent injuries to Reda can only be sorted by him hopping over to France. Do we not have any orthopaedic specialists any closer to home than France ? Edited February 7, 2013 by nevthelodgemoorowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I see it as a positive mate....must be more expensive....maybe the best medical advice and treatment for his particulat ailment is in France....better than hopping to a crackbones in Crookes...

Chriss Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 He's French, he might have specified that he wanted to go there for treatment? Doesn't make any odds probably but its closer to home so that might be why, family reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Distraught! Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Reda is not your normal kind of human being. When Reda gets injured, he doesn't visit a physio or doctor. He goes to a firm of structural engineers. Perhaps he has to visit the ones that keep the Eiffel Tower up and running. :reda: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This country has top specialists in every field of medicine It's just kinda trendy to send players abroad for treatment that can be done just as well, more cheaply with less hassle, here. I understand if players are used to, and happy with, treatment abroad then it probably makes sense to let them go back there - depending on the injury and procedure necessary Most of the myths around the so-called super-surgeons get debunked over time though Football is batshit insane where money is concerned - so another few grand extra for a players treatment won't even register.

Is there anything you don't know?You think a player goes to another country because its trendy? Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thats all i said isn't it? Personally knowing something about many of the clinics that are "en vogue" at most times - knowing players that have been to them (including, sadly the ones that had to retire) - doing research in this area continually - and having met/seen some of the feted super medics - then i'd say a little more about it than your average football fan. One of the main reasons a player will go abroad is because the procedure was carried out when they were in a different country and its not at all unusual for somebody to remain under the care of the specialist who carried out the procedure - i have already said that it makes sense for players to be treated where they feel comfortable as a huge part of rehabilitation is based on trust and confidence. But that wasn't the extent of the original question - it was more on the lines of whether we had medical facilities and expertise here - well we do - as good as anywhere - but it became "de rigueur" to send players abroad and there is often no sensible reason to do so other that "its the thing to do". Not a decision based on strong clinical reasoning. Now, i can go on and give loads of testimony on this from world renowned experts - so yes, it is an area i know quite a bit about - do you want me to apologise for that? So, rather than be a glib and patronising - why don't you state the case of why i'm wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Foxhill Owl Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sure I remember weaver going abroad about his knee a couple of times Canada ? America maybe to see the same specialist who e said he trusted . . Reda will have been to this specialist before and think he the right man , Also isnt it more of a precaution the club are taking in sending Reda over to France ? I took jones interview that he could still play but could make the problem worse . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we not have any orthopaedic specialists any closer to home than France ? Apparently Reda injuries are being exacebated by a sunlight deficiency (vit d).

dazaston Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The waiting lists in the UK are too long we want him back ASAP not in 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdan450 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Who knows, might have been Reda who wants to see someone who has seen him before? Or maybe the club decided it would be better for his recovery to get it done elsewhere, more relaxed, can spend time just concentrating on his recovery...

It's obviously fed by things other than sliding you your FM disc into your computer. Thanks for the low down. If you're wondering what prompted my serious question... It goes back to the mid 70's when the NHS referred me to the private clinic at Sandygate and I found myself sat by the side of Colin Addison, former Forrest star, injured playing for the Blades that weekend. I thought then how lucky we were to have such expertise confined in one City. Anyway cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
