TSN Original: The Problem of Pain
Was watching this, thought we could start an Oiler related discussion about this.
This was a really f***ed up video that shows some of the nastier parts of the game, and a scary overarching system where the TEAMS are in charge of the health and well beings of their players (rather than 3rd party doctors).
I'm no Kesler fan, but I would not want to wish what he's going through on him. Shitting blood 30 times a day, with Colitis, Chrons, Ulcers, irrepairable intestinal damage, and incapable of playing with his kids, more susceptible to cancer.
That said, I wonder if one of the... issues (lack of a better word) regarding Sam Gagner, was that he was married to a doctor, who probably wouldn't allow him to be injected with Toradol. At least not to the extent Kesler was. Could be a huge reason Gagner's career likely just ended.
I'm surprised Sheldon Souray wasn't interviewed as he's been pretty candid about his treatment in Edmonton.
Also makes me question McDavids leg even more now.
