Oh, come on. Kawhi saw approximately 300 doctors who could find nothing wrong with him at all before he finally found one that said he is maybe, possibly injured. That wasn't on them. And who knows why they missed Danny Green's groin. Maybe he didn't ask them to check for a groin tear.

to be fair, it took me 9 doctors and 3 MRIs to get a proper diagnosis on a tendon tear, where one doctor even claimed it was merely a self-inflicted wound and I have repressed all the memories of the event itself. I'm not surprised when most doctors make mistakes most of the time
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Thank you for posting this. It's like commonsense evades people in this conversation. Doctors practice medicine. Only a fool would continue to be in pain and brush it off just because the doctors they have already seen couldn't find the problem. You continue to seek medical attention until you can find the problem and then the solution.

Pretty much. Now all green has to do is wait for someone on the spurs to say their groin injury was 20x worse and they played thru it

Kawhi Stans and laker trolls have been waiting for something like this to come out.

“But, but Kawhi was still hurt” :cry:

How did they not detect that? Dude was hobbling around like he was shot last year. In the very least, I and other Spurs fans knew he had a groin injury, and he ended up missing games to that effect. Pop did seem to overplay Danny and not let him heal, though. The injury was a really underrated blow for the team last season, as prior to getting hurt, he was on a tear on both ends.

Actually its not that uncommon to get/need multiple diagnosis from doctors. 8/9 is a lot but I've been close to people who were misdiagnosed, treated for the wrong ailment and took 3/4 different hospitals before being properly treated.

Its not like Leonard went to 8 different doctors right after another. He went through treatments with the team doc but continued to not feel right. I'm sure there were many discussions between him and the doctor. This was how it was with my relative. He sought different opinions. Another doctor did indeed have a different opinion on the injury.

If this is a lingering injury that the new doctor and Kawhi feel was misdiagnosed from the beginning, I can see how he might be wary and with the public bashing from Spurs players/organization, indeed upset. I cant say for sure, but I doubt Kawhi went to all these doctors and sought different treatment if he didnt genuinely feel still injured. And the Spurs didnt trust him/that.

How does that make you better than the Lin, Gallo, and Wil fans who root for them over NY?

Medicine is a lot like customer service; the patient is always right. Which isnt to say that there isnt any exceptions; more to say that if a patient is feeling pain, even if you cant find the source or see it, you still treat them like theyre feeling pain. Medicine is not an exact science and there is still much we dont know or understand. You take the patients word for it.

Kawhi found his ninth doctor in August, well before anyone on the Spurs knew he'd be missing games. So the idea that almost a half-year later, he'd be "sensitive" about comments from his teammates essentially saying they were in the dark about what was going on, is laughable, or at least it should be.

Jez - That's not a good look. I mean some tears are hard to see. But, man now I understand why they dealt the both of them to Toronto.

They did treat Kawhi like he was still in pain, hence them paying for doctor after doctor looking for an answer. Don't confuse the team doctors not changing their minds with the front office not letting Kawhi have control over his treatment.
