Are there any doctors on the board?

I diagnosed it as a neck stinger also. But then again, I'm a child psychologist who works with autistic kiddos. (But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once),

I've been to the doctors, and I know some doctors, so I'm qualified right?

To me it looked not dissimilar to whiplash or any other sudden torqueing of the head/neck. Granted, whiplash is usually the result of a sudden and stop or acceleration and the momentum of the head jerking the neck, but I imagine this injury was similar.

Bottom line, it's either skeletal/spinal or muscular, right? Barring some kind of neck/spine thing (which I doubt) it's probably just a major strain on the shoulders and neck. I'm guessing that Frank has a hell of a stiff neck today, but nothing more serious. I'm also sure that unlike you or I who would just have to tough it out, Frank is getting some very proactive message and therapy on it.

It did look like Coach Hudy was giving him the big time hairy eyeball checking him out afterward from the 2nd row. As I said somewhere else, I'd venture that she had that thing fully diagnosed, and a full plan for PT already before the final buzzer sounded.

If for some unexplainable reason I decide to walk down a dark alley in the wrong part of town at midnight sometime, I want Andrea Hudy with me.

I saw the "Let's go, Frank!" too.

I am a doctor, a family physician, and both diagnoses are possibilities but we'd better hope for the stinger which is brief and has no persistent downside whereas a muscular strain (whiplash injury) is often worse the next day, as NotOstertag mentioned, and can even be a long term injury. As an optimist, I'll vote for stinger.

C'mon Konza, we don't need Doc and his "actual medical training". I'm confident that my background of reading Mad Magazine and listening to talk radio is enough for me to make accurate medial diagnoses from TV or even watching from the stands.

Upon further review, I think Frank likely sprained his appendix and will likely need leeches applied for full recovery.

(BTW, thanks Doc).

I'm still impressed that she can wade into the pool of testosterone and immaturity that must exist among high level athletes in their late teens/twenties and win them over. Of course, she COULD just say "I'm the boss and if you don't do what I say I'll call HCBS." From what I've read/heard, however, her results speak for themselves, and she doesn't need HCBS to back her up. I'm sure a guy like Perry can just show her a picture of what he looked like as a freshman and the final product, and supress any opposition.
