Pittsburgh Penguins fire their ENTIRE medical staff

Quote:
The doctor who was at the centre of at least some of the controversy surrounding the treatment of Sidney Crosby’s concussion problems has parted company with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Dr. Charles Burke, 57, an orthopaedic surgeon whose association with the NHL team goes back to 1983, left the team along with the rest of the medical staff on July 10. The Penguins announced Friday they now have an official association with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,with three of its specialists in charge of their medical treatment next season.

However, the Penguins carefully avoided any connection between Crosby’s concussion and the change in their medical team. Those close to the team say Crosby and his advisors, who eventually sought outside treatment, did not have anything to do with the departure of Burke.

The change is said to be connected with a new business venture between the Penguins and UPMC rather than any lingering resentment over the handling of Crosby’s concussion. The team and the medical centre plan to open a training and sports medicine centre in 2014 in a northern Pittsburgh suburb.

The numerous number of guys they misdiagnosed beyond Sid is embarrasing. I don't know how they missed Orpik's 2 sports hernia's. They called them "strains". Fools.
