Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
Interesting reading these tweets from a retired pro-soccer player about the Dr. that cleared RGIII. No wonder this dude stepped down.
https://twitter.com/alecko11 @alecko11 I have just read that the neurologist involved in the RG3 concussion fiasco is Dr. Kurtzke.. @alecko11 I cannot tell you how much pent up anger I have towards this man, as he is the same doc who nearly caused me brain damage and maybe worse.. @alecko11 10 years ago when I suffered a Grade 3 concussion that took me a year to recover from, Dr. Kurtzke suggested to "just keep taking Tylenol". @alecko11 The fact that this quack still works w/ high profiled athletes is A JOKE. This man put my life at risk and is a name I will never forget. @alecko11 He cleared me to play just days after. So I began practicing w/ headaches + what felt like a 5 lb weight in my head. @alecko11 When I explained that taking painkillers and continuing to play w/ bad symptoms didn't seem smart, he asked me who the doctor was... @alecko11 I've never had a doctor be so condescending while spewing BS. But I wanted to play, and he told me I was fine to play. So I played... @alecko11 After practice that week my headaches + pressure in my head got so bad, I swerved behind the wheel + had to pull over. I knew I wasn't OK.. @alecko11 Anyone that has followed me on social media knows I HATE talking about my struggle w/ this. But reading this man's name just hit a nerve... @alecko11 Not true... When I finally saw a new neurologist he immediately shut me down indefinitely based on my symptoms.
