#44 “Tua Should Not Play!” Dr. Predicts On-Field Seizure (32:55). Then it Happens!

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss the news media’s erratic coverage of Hurricane Ian.  Sanchez and Mednick question why the news media kept spreading fear and panic in Florida cities that were not in the storm’s path.  Sanchez then switches gears and welcomes Attorney Bob Fitzsimmons and Doctor Chris Nowinski, renowned concussion experts, to discuss the inefficient and flawed concussion protocols that exist in the NFL today and the danger that poses for the athletes involved.  Sanchez used the example of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa who suffered a concussion on a Sunday and was now being allowed to play on a Thursday.  Sadly, Doctor Nowinski’s prediction of a tragic re-injury came true.
