i think the matter here is, the more info the bb gives you themore the reason for some of us to contest or even argue.
instead of making a laugh of how stupid probably a level 1 doctor is, you might see a thread even making a fuzz how come an sligh or normal injury is treated that way or almost all doctors know this should be that procedure.
i think furthermore, i dont know how it would translate if your player suffered a acl or mcl or even dislocated shoulder or so, i dont think it would be equal to just weeks.
they already adjusted the injury to be only couple of weeks instead of a possible whole season. this is not the nba since we have relelgation matches.
