The Chargers came under fire today by the NFLPA because of their doctor!!! The NFLPA is asking...closer to demanding that the Chargers fire Dr. Chao and hire a competent medical doctor...something I've long lobbied for. Here's a couple of links...

He really isn't a quack - but maybe he started getting lazy once the gravy train hit?I don't know what it is about being the Chargers doctor, but there's a jinx or something once they hire you. I too actually had four shoulder surgeries performed by a former Chargers doctor, Dr. Gary Losse. Best doctor by far I've ever had. Took him 30 seconds to determine my problem, then sent me to SDSU, who at the time had one of three MRI scanners in the state of California to get his diagnosis confirmed. It was weird if you ever had a MRI back in those days compared to today. They had to house it in a huge building and the thing was literally gigantic with this little hole in it. Anyhow, today my shoulders are fine, probably better than most my age, in fact. The funny thing is that Losse was the doctor who actually initially developed both the procedure and invented and designed the tools for shoulder arthoscopies. Until he did, they only performed arthroscopies on knees. Both of my shoulders were really torn up. In fact, they were so bad, and so odd, that he had me sign a waiver so he could send videos of his surgeries to other doctors and universities. Now, I'm wondering if I maybe should have asked if he wasn't making money off them and asked for a royalty fee
At any rate, somewhere my shoulders became famous...even if I didn't.At any rate, somewhere my shoulders became famous...even if I didn't.Well I haven't met you or your shoulders but your famous ONline on this Chargers board...we all know NY Jones....and his opinions to boots about what the Chargers should do or not.....and its been a pleasure viewing and reading your posts...take care of yourself
