Mike Lupica knows a lot about Doctor stuff:
"That doctor, Bryan Kelly, from the Hospital for Special Surgery who announced the other day that A-Rod’s hip problems have nothing to do with his steroid use — somebody ought to ask him how many admitted steroid users he has treated have hip problems exactly like Alex Rodriguez’s."
Why don't you ask him?
"Because unless there have been a lot, the doc really needs to blow these smiley-face theories of his out his ear."
There have not been a lot, that's the point.
A lot of steroid users. Not a lot of associated hip problems.
The medical doctor's opinion is far more valid than a journalist's opinion, even if one can question the medical doctor's motives.
"By the way?
The only way a doctor is allowed to be this chatty about a patient is with the patient’s permission."
To be sure, Alex Rodriguez authorized the dissemination of his Doctor's optimistic prognosis. Is that illegal or immoral or distasteful in any way?
The disclosure of ARod's PED test results was illegal, which might be of interest to Mike Lupica, since Mike Lupica is now an attorney interested in the intricacies of US privacy laws.
Not to mention his moonlighting duties as a surgeon.
Mike Lupica just knows everything about everything. I'm happy he has started off 2013 with another fascinating "Shooting From the Lip."
