Football has become the most popular sport in America. Boys start playing at the age of 6 and, if they turn pro, could play into their 30’s or even 40’s. Some people will say, “They know what they’re signing up for” or “The players choose to play the game”. Just because they may choose to play the game, does that mean that they don’t deserve the very best protection that technology can afford them. I don’t think so. The more we learn about what “playing the game’ can do to the human body, in particular the brain, it only makes sense that we use the latest technology to help prevent as much damage as we can.…

In my understanding there’s always a controversy between Emergency Rooms versus Urgent Care Centers who provides the best care from each other. The debate over receiving treatment at a hospital emergency room versus treatment from an urgent care center is worth having for anyone concerned about medical debt, especially families, who may have a lot of “emergency” and “urgent” needs facing them every year. There are many sides to the debate, but generally my understanding for deciding between an emergency room and urgent care center are based upon your symptoms.

I don’t think I would change or add anything on your plan, and if I was Jeff’s mother, I will definitely feel safe to let him on your hands.…
