Bob Probert Autopsy

Once again, I think we agree on the major points of the issue. I figured you may be more up to date on the research. I do epidemiology, so it takes a bunch of events to happen before it get's to me. However, as both you and I states, the idea of prevention has to be considered.

Exactly, in sports in general, there's nothing more important that prevention of an injury. Of course, I say that because as an AT we deal with the after effects, so life is much simpler if it never happens. But honestly, it's a human life, and if you can take a simple step to prevent some 'unnecessary' blows to the head, than do it. I love hockey, and it's my dream to work with it in the future, but after being more and more exposed to some of the inter-workings of the NHL sports medicine protocol...I think my dreams have sailed in another direction.

Bob Probert could also play hockey better than most of the coward dipshits running around today. Let's not forget that.
