Tom E. Curran welcomed a new guest to the Quick Slants set on Friday night: Former Patriots team doctor Thomas Gill. Who better to give insight on how the medical side of things are organized in an NFL locker room?
Physicians were polled to name the top knee surgeons in America. Surgeons were selected based upon major awards, recognition by national societies, and patient satisfaction.
Dr. Thomas Gill and his co-authors Dr. Ben Heyworth and Kaitlin Carroll have their research study on concussions in high school athletes accepted for podium presentation at the 2014 American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine in Seattle, WA. The study is one of the first to highlight not only the recommended treatment and return to play criteria for high school athletes with concussions, but also the need for academic accommodations while the patient is recovering. The stress of academic studies and mental exertion can have a negative impact on patients with concussions, just as physical exertion can. Criteria for safe return to both sports and classes are presented.
