Waiting for MRI results

[TheFarmFan]

For what it's worth, I injured my knee playing basketball this spring, it took me quite a while to get an MRI (probably not a problem for Bueckers), it then took time to get the technician to read the results, and longer still to see an ortho and discuss a treatment plan. I'd be wildly impressed if a state school medical hospital could get her soup to nuts service with a treatment plan that would make sense to make public within 24 hours. And she might even want more than one opinion.

So even she knows the basic diagnosis, I still think it will take time to determine a treatment plan and how long she's likely to be out. Until then, there's really no point in releasing anything, even if she wanted to.

Wish her well, and her injury slight: speaking from experience, torn meniscuses and ligaments from the basketball are NO fun, and the path to full recovery is LONG.

Good luck on your recovery

You need to remember... this is The Best Player in NCAA WBB (the reigning POY for all awards except the only one she was ineligible for), the Best Player at UCONN, she plays for Geno who is held in highest esteem in Connecticut, and UCONN is a Basketball School and UCONN WBB is held in the highest regard in the State. IF there is anyone who can get the MRI done, reviewed and treatment plan developed in "record time"... it would be in this case with Paige.

If she and her parents want it private then they have to be prepared to answer endless phone calls and texts asking for information. Better to allow a limited release.

I'd say it's up to Page and her parents to decide which is "better" for them.

Demanding, nosy, spoiled give us a break, what you are seeing is people who CARE about this young ladies health, nothing freakin more

Perhaps you should be more concerned and 'care' about her rights and her privacy, no matter how much you 'care' about her health.

I am surprised this thread has not been locked yet.

Heh long time no see, how are you doing, sorry I have to ask my parents .I think all the concerned boneyarders would like to hear is they are evaluating the results form the MRI and will have more info at that time, but PaI’ve is doing ok.Thank you for your concerns.

I used the same term as you, right? Condition OF employment. I could disagree to your terms and not disclose and go find work elsewhere. Now...if you're asking me for information post hire...that's not the same thing.

It’s complicated. Hippa doesn’t apply unless the physician is billing insurance. Even then, though, most universities get athletes to waive hippa rights as a condition of participating

I’m not really sure why this is causing such a crazy thread of responses. She injured her knee yesterday during a game and will be evaluated. The team will release something about her status when the extent of the injury/timetable is more clear. Just be patient.

The next game is on Thursday, so by Thursday you’ll have some type of answer. Send good vibes her way and enjoy your week. Come Thursday you’ll get to turn on a Uconn wbb game, which this time last year felt like a miracle.

Sometimes swelling has to go down to get a clear image on an MRI. It can't always be done right away.

Forget laws, how about just showing some maturity, self restraint, and common sense decency and let the process play out however it plays out? It is no one’s “right” to know what is going on until the young lady wants to tell you, my humble suggestion is to deal with it because it is the right thing to do.
