Like any patient, they’re just trying to get treated. Really look at the Thunder administering 58 COVID tests. Obviously anyone testing positive benefited. But the media coverage of the team for testing so many when tests were so rare was thoroughly negative...
-
I think the “bad look” argument was more along the employers, much like when the Thunder (the NBA team, not the TS poster) had received nearly as many COVID tests as the rest of the country. No one mentioned Gobert there...
-
Well, the original argument was whether or not they were elective surgeries. By every definition I have found, they were. So what Sale and Syndergaard did was look for regions of the country still allowing elective surgery...
-
Oh I’ve been saying all along Andrews and ElAttrache (who I think was the surgeon here) won’t be taking time from their corona caseload. But it is a negative PR. And, like it or not, these are elective surgeries, which is why both pitchers had to relocate to get them done. NY and MA wouldn’t allow it.
-
I know. Because money talked. Hey I want Sale back on the mound, too. But a pandemic might not be the time for preferential medical treatment...
-
The thing is, those types of surgeries are being delayed. My wife was to have surgery on March 20. Nothing major, but an OR was required. The hospital canceled the surgery on her...
-
Did Jacko give a definition? Assuming he has a few minutes. Surgery is a big deal, and apparently it falls into two categories: life-saving and elective. What I gather, part of it is also the urgency. If Sale or Syndergaard or the 23yo kid in AA needs surgery, they don’t need it today and can wait a bit. I mean, focusing on pro athletes is one thing. Should precious and increasingly scarce medical supplies also be used for every construction worker who needs a double hernia operation?

And not sure there will be a season for him to miss anyway...

Mayweather has the better career, but Tyson in his prime was pretty damn elite...
-
Mayweather over Tyson? Before Douglas, Tyson was 37-0 with 33 knockouts...
-
Sounds good...
-
This isn’t Shark Tank. Also, I’m envisioning more disembowelments than actual taxes...
-
We have a movie plot device! We just need a script. I’m thinking an action movie here. Working title “Terminal Deductions”.
-
Well it is something. We engineers have what? Maybe management bureaucracy? Scope creep? Ooooh scary!!
-
But do they ever do any actual work on that show?
-
Also, “Midnight Run” where Charles Grodin plays an accountant. All these examples all have one major commonality: they all deal with embezzlement. Is that the only plot-worthy tool in the accountancy toolbox? It’s still more than us engineers have. (We even had to borrow it for the plot of “Office Space.”)
-
I was trying to think of any. For engineers, I think the only TV show ever was the animated “Dilbert” series. But - and it might be time for a binge here - doesn’t Jason Bateman play an accountant in “Ozark”?
-
There’s a reason there are so few TV shows about accountants. Same goes for us engineers...
-
It was a pretty vague one that matched medicine.net. But I imagine the bulk of the medical industry defines it the same...
-
Sort of disappointed on the roster freeze, especially with the Sox pitching...
-
Since I doubt the definition varies much from hospital to hospital, I am absolutely willing to accept any definition Jacko brings to the table...
-
That settles it. If S5 and I agree on something, it has to be correct. We normally can’t even agree that the sky is red...
-
Regardless, I provided a definition of elective surgery. I will admit I didn’t look exhaustively. You said it was not an elective surgery, but that was in direct conflict with the definition. So until you provide another definition that does include this type of surgery (and from a more credible source would be nice), it is an elective surgery. You’re welcome to challenge the definition I provided with another that does allow for TJ surgery.. As I grabbed the first Google match, naturally my definition came from Wikipedia, who had a sole sourced article. Not always the best authority. Medicine.net has a simpler definition as “surgery planned in advance by choice of either the patient or doctor.” Again, nothing about career-threatening. And essentially the same idea..,
-
In NY definitely right now. Didn’t he go to a Florida for it?
-
Actually I simply misread your question. As for Sale’s pending surgery, I’ve heard nothing since MLBTR published the article...
