Give him the surgery, amputate his toe and harvest his spleen in case mono reappears

It can also be administered via IV or orally.
I was prescribed Toradol in pill form for Migraines.
Indeed. I was being brief.

I guess I may be mistaken, if he didn't report this to rayders then it's on him. If he's trying 2 screw the team over... I'm a RN but I don't appreciate BS

This whole situation is a mess. I don't know what to believe. I'm hoping the franchise is being honest and Osemele is lying to get that extra $$ , but the Jets should be able to easily discredit everything he claims if true.

This situation is now beyond strange. WTF is Gase doing?



Here's Osemele's quotes and Gases full quote on that:
Osemele's quotes from yesterday
"It's been difficult," Osemele said while adding that Jets had coach Adam Gase hasn't spoken to him for several weeks. "You work your ass off, you know what I mean? You think that there's good faith, but I'm trying my best to do my pre-op work and show up every day and be at meetings and do everything I need to do. Control everything that I can control."
He also stated Douglas hasn't spoken to him since the bye week.
He claims he has been in the meetings.
Gase confirmed that too with his quote
“I haven’t seen him,” Gase said. “I mean, we’re in meetings and things like that. We haven’t had any conversations.”
So they have been in meetings together and Gase's office is next door to the training room. Share a common wall. He's been face to face with him every day...
As HC, you would think you would at least ask how are you feeling. Just shows a lack of leadership by the HC

Yeah all around... We'll never really know exactly what's going on but we either should have seen this guy coming OR taken care of his issue if he was working 4 us - when it happened. Either way, the smell is reminding me of Jersey...

Thanks for this, Tony. Agree that it shows lack of leadership. I'd add insensitivity, incompetence and dysfunction for both Gase and Douglas. Why wouldn't you just talk to your player? Why do they disagree with at least two doctors who are recommending surgery for the guy? Again, a very myopic and strange way of dealing with what should be a simple issue.

Exactly, discuss & come 2 an agreement... Not wave it around like Brunö

BTW Player wants to be paid while off for surgery he should have the Team where he was injured pay for him being off. So ask the Raiders to pay him and dont expect the Jets to be fine with it and slam Jets for Player wanting to get paid millions while not playing having surgery to be ready for free agency! He is a scumbag scammer.

So it was claimed that this happened back in training camp in August, so don't think they can put that on the Raiders.

Bottom line, anyone (and I mean anyone including everyone one here chirping), if you get hurt on the job you are going to expect your employer to pay for the surgery and your workers comp!

If the man is really hurt, then the only one wrong here is the organization for not doing what they are supposed to do.

This should have been handled behind closed doors and never out in the public. This just makes everyone look bad at this point
