Also those are very legit, and he's just trying to rouse up outrage by leaving out the context.
- Zorko felt his surgically repaired calf pop, initial suspicion was a recurrence of his injury. Only cleared after scans.
- Duursma (another example) had a suspected broken collarbone. Only cleared after scans.
- McKenzie got stretched off with a non-contact knee injury. Only cleared after scans.
- Cameron went to ****ing hospital.
In every case the initial diagnosis - on the side of a ****ing football field, not in a hospital - was incorrect but if correct would've been an injury that would keep the player out for at least twelve days if not the season.
Maybe Edmunds should be lobbying for rapid diagnostic scanning technology to be installed in every AFL ground so that the team doctors can have all the information as quickly as possible instead? He's basically trying to rev up the fans by dragging the doctors' names through the mud for not being 100% right when diagnosing players within minutes based off very limited information. Funnily enough despite all the difficulties the doctors still have a better strike rate than Sam Edmunds' "journalism".
