1) any medical professional should know not to assume without studying a patients specific case. 2) that’s an assumption that you can’t guarantee
3) you literally just said you knew this. So you know or don’t know?
Finally, Rossi had heart inflammation that forced him to sit out 6+ months of essentially no physical activity until the inflammation subsided. He’s been clear to resume activities and has started doing intense drills recently. I’d say he’ll be fine.
You say he’ll be fine? And what are your credentials? Since you arrogantly called mine into question.
1) I would very much enjoy getting to read the finer details of Eichel’s case, but there is only so much knowledge the public is privy to. So I work with what I have- details of parallel cases (young men getting cervical disk replacement surgeries)
2) Obviously not. Every surgery carries a degree of risk. Although that degree is likely quite small in this case. Many of the possible complications that could arise in this particular surgery coincide with age, the fact Eichel is 24 and in excellent shape bodes very well for a projected outcome
3) I never claimed to know. I just cited that COVID can lead to longterm cardiovascular damage, even in professional athletes. COVID and its extensive outreach is still being studied obviously.
I never claimed that Rossi won’t be okay, it is likely he will be. But the fact he was kept off the ice for over 6 months leads me to believe there is a higher chance of further complications than the chance a skilled surgeon would make a mistake on Eichel’s neck. Surgery is simply more predictable, in this comparison. Just because Rossi is doing intense drills now does not mean that his cardiovascular system is the exact same compared to a year ago. Medicine isn’t always that simple unfortunately.
I hope the best for both of them.
