ctweimer, Dr. X ? If so then he is in great hands!
I think it was Dr. Labibctweimer, Dr. X ? If so then he is in great hands!
The doctor said that they have done this surgery many times and everyone has fully recovered. It's good that GT can afford the best care possible for my brother because I would hate to see his dream end so abruptlySame practice, colleague of X
I'm not sure if they get covered for injuries that occur outside of their sport but we didn't have to pay anything for Quaide's surgeryDo SAs medical bills get covered by the school? If they do are they only covered if the injury occurred during a related event like quaide? What about a guy like griffin who hurt himself playing bball on the side?
How's the young man doing? We are all wishing him quick healing and a continued great attitude that he has shown so far.I'm not sure if they get covered for injuries that occur outside of their sport but we didn't have to pay anything for Quaide's surgery
He's doing well. He has been sleeping a lot and he said the meds don't help too much with the pain, but he's good at mentally blocking it out. They gave him one of those 3 wheeled scooters to make it easier to get around.How's the young man doing? We are all wishing him quick healing and a continued great attitude that he has shown so far.
Great to hear. Give him our best!He's doing well. He has been sleeping a lot and he said the meds don't help too much with the pain, but he's good at mentally blocking it out. They gave him one of those 3 wheeled scooters to make it easier to get around.
I used one of those 3-wheeled scooters for a while but the people in the left lane of 295 didn't care for it too much.They gave him one of those 3 wheeled scooters to make it easier to get around.

No clue myself, but there was a Gumbel piece on HBO I think it was, last night. The gist of it was that as long as they are in school the school feels obligated to pay. Once out, they are on their own and are covered by nothing, including workmen's comp.I believe if the injury was related to the sport played by the student (lifting, practice, game, etc.) the school pays. But, they likely seek coverage from the primary insurance of the athlete first (though they would cover all out of pocket not covered by insurance). In reality, the school probably extends that to other situations (i.e., Griffin) also, though I am not 100% on that. They certainly would be incentivized to do that, and my guess is that the incentives outweigh any other situation so that in almost all cases for all sports, the school absorbs the cost.
My daughter just had ACL surgery performed by Dr. X. She tore it during a cheerleading competition. GT covers whatever the primary insurance doesn't.I believe if the injury was related to the sport played by the student (lifting, practice, game, etc.) the school pays.

Please add my voice to those hoping that Quaide will be feeling better soon. I hope he's up to speed and feeling his normal self not only for football, but for life.He's doing well.
