A 10 day stay for migraines??? What happened to rationing and the fiscal problems of the NHS?
There has been a development in sports medicine that has it roots in orthopedics. The head and neck specialist for the N.E.Patriots has devised a procedure that corrects misaligned TMJ and positions the jaw in its strongest resting point. The NFL is not prepared to recognize this development in light of the Waters story, their inability to recognize their own statistics that indicated its existence. Tufts University is now at the preliminary stages of studying it further. The U.S.Military, a Harvard MGH researcher,Tufts and even Congress has taken notice, yet the NFL recently refused a grant application to study this further, their own statistics. Where is the outrage from the medical community. For the ESPN stories and studies go to http://www.mahercor.com
