The domestic league team doctors used to get a lot of skepticism, some because of the amateurish way team medical practitioners were recruited, and others because of philosophical issues, with many (especially foreigners) not trusting enough in Chinese-style physical therapy practices. But here's the interesting thing: in China, professional team doctors generally require a certain amount of age accumulation, and most of the ones with a certain number of years are Chinese. For sports care, the domestic league is far from professional.
So it's no surprise that players like J.R. Smith refuse to be examined by domestic team doctors and insist on finding their own hospital treatment.
But Haddadi this thing and the team doctor really has nothing to do, Sichuan Jinqiang is a CBA new army, for the game injury preparation is not too full, as for the domestic hospital, and are ...... that look, the middle of the night injured, want to contact the attending physician, for this rookie team, the difficulty is indeed a little big! The first time I've ever seen this team, I've seen a lot of them.
Relatively speaking, the NBA's medical system is much more professional. But a lot of people have some misconceptions about the NBA's team doctors, thinking that the players' treatment of illnesses are under the control of the team doctors - in fact, the team doctors are not responsible for the specific treatment of injuries and illnesses, the players are injured, the team doctors will carry out some simple judgments and preliminary treatment, and finally to send to the hospital to carry out specific checks.
Generally speaking, the team doctor's main responsibilities are so many: sports care, medical consultant, pharmacology expert, in addition, the team doctor will also deal with some daily medical work. So, for example, the Suns' doctor, the Trail Blazers' veterinarian, jokingly of course, is not a big problem, but seriously, a team's players are not easy to get hurt, the injury healed quickly, can not say and team doctors have nothing to do, but at least the relationship is not too big.
For example, this year's winner of the NBA's best team doctor award is Thomas Reis, the Trail Blazers' team doctor who has been widely praised by fans.
Currently, there are 92 team doctors practicing in the NBA, with more than a dozen on more than one team, and only one on a lesser number of teams.
This year's winner is the Trail Blazers, who has been widely praised by fans. But it can not be said that the team with more team doctors is necessarily larger than the team with fewer medical team, because many team doctors take the team's salary, not the whole process of accompaniment, but just in the time of the player's injury, they can be one step, more timely, than ordinary patients have priority.
Thomas Reis is one of two team doctors for the Blazers, but quite a few teams have only one full-time team doctor. There are teams with a high number of team doctors - the Suns, for example, have seven, and that's not even the most - the Los Angeles Lakers have eight, and the Chicago Bulls, 14.
While it is true that the NBA's team medical system is professional enough, there are still a lot of cases where players don't trust their team doctors. Because after a player is injured, the team doctor will make a preliminary judgment of the injury and decide that the player needs to be off or can return to the field; if the problem is serious, the player will usually go to the hospital recommended by the team doctor for treatment, and the hospital that is usually recommended is the one that has a good partnership with the team or has some business dealings, but these hospitals may not be suitable for the player's injury condition, so this leads to many players after the injury choose their own hospitals and decide how to treat them and when to return to the team.
Maddie's injury diagnosis was considered one of the more famous doctor-patient disputes at the time, when Rockets team doctor Tom Clanton thought that Maddie could reduce the amount of training, and carry out some conservative treatment, but the subsequent injuries, as well as the situation on the trade market, made Maddie decide to advance the surgery, and he chose Brian Cole in Chicago to carry out the minimally invasive surgery on his left knee. And Brian Cole was the Chicago Bulls' team doctor at the time -- in the NBA, one team's team doctor generally doesn't treat players from another team.
