Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 2 Grant Hill

Before Chen Yu could answer, Ron Karp asked himself another question: "Whether it's in terms of income or career development, you have no reason to do this."

NBA players are all talented players, and their salary income ranks first among the four major leagues in the United States.

But that's the player.

As a member of the uniform team, Ron Karp, a full-time team doctor, actually does not earn a high income.

Of course, this so-called salary is not high. Compared with other ordinary employees, it is still much higher.

He is a doctor after all.

But probably, that’s more than 20 US dollars a year.

Chen Yu can easily get this salary after working for a few years.

Not to mention career advancement.

A team doctor is a team doctor and will always be a team doctor.

Is it possible that you can be made the general manager of the team?
The day you become a team doctor, you have already touched the ceiling of your career.

But it's different in the hospital. In Ron Karp's view, Chen Yu's resume has great potential for future development. Maybe after a few years of working, he can become the director of orthopedics, and then do research and win awards. There is hope of becoming a famous industry leader.

Regardless of income or social status, he can easily kill the team doctor in an instant.

"And our work is tiring."

Ron Karp complained again.

When he said this, he couldn't help but help his waist.

As the head of the team's medical team, he does not necessarily have to follow the team on away games in the southeast, northwest, but it is also common to play with the team on the road.

In terms of workload, it’s quite a lot to be honest.

In Ron Karp's view, only those doctors who have reached middle age and have no room for advancement in the hospital system will consider becoming full-time team doctors.

"So why?" Ron Karp looked at Chen Yu seriously.

Chen Yu has long been prepared for this problem.

"Because I love it. The reason why I engage in orthopedics is because I love sports and am committed to developing sports medicine."

Chen Yu smiled and gave the answer.

Ron Karp looked at Chen Yu intently. Although Chen Yu's eyes were sincere, he had an intuition that Chen Yu might be hiding something.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

"Sorry Chen, I may have to reject you."

"We cannot afford two full-time team doctors, and with your qualifications, having you serve as a physical therapist or sports physician is a waste of your talents."

NBA teams have limited budgets for team doctors.

After all, many times when a player has a problem, the team doctor is mainly responsible for on-site injury assessment, and the final treatment still has to be sent to a cooperative hospital.

Therefore, the team does not have such high requirements for the professional skills of the team doctor, and the management does not expect the team doctor to perform operations on the players. This is also irresponsible to the players.

Therefore, in addition to the Suns, teams like the Lakers, which are well-known or not short of money, can have more team doctors for the health of their players.

Ordinary teams generally only have one full-time team doctor.

Next, there is a physical therapist and a sports physician to keep the players in motion.

Moreover, Ron Karp is very satisfied with his team and is unwilling and has no need to recruit one more person.

"Mr. Karp, I actually..."

Chen Yu opened his mouth to explain that he came here because he actually wanted to join Ron Karp's team.

But now it seems that Ron Karp may have mistakenly thought that he wanted to compete for his position.

But at this moment, a young man pushed the door open and entered.

"Ron, little Anthony said his shoulder is a little sore. Would you like to go over and check it out."

Ron Karp nodded, returned the resume to Chen Yu, and said sincerely: "Young man, if I were you, I would reconsider my choice."

After that, he walked out quickly.

But after going out, he stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, today is our opening game. Stay and watch a game. I'll ask Miss Raven to help you get a front-row ticket."

After speaking, leave quickly.

Chen Yu sighed, picked up his resume and stood up.

In fact, Chen Yu also knew that this matter was not easy.Because unlike hospitals, which are always short of doctors, these teams are a carrot and a pit.

If he were Randy Pfund, he would not easily dismiss a team doctor who has worked with him for many years and then choose himself, a rookie who has just graduated.

And Ron Karp will obviously be mistaken today.

Chen Yu decided to stay and find an opportunity to chat with him again after the game.

Miss Ruiwen was the receptionist who gave Chen Yu his business card before. She directly helped Chen Yu get a work permit, and even offered to take Chen Yu around the American Airlines Arena.

Chen Yu refused, and ran to the merchandise area, bought a hot dog to fill his stomach, and waited until the time was almost up before wandering towards the stadium.

Today's game is at [-]pm.

However, the team usually starts preparations two hours in advance.

It's past five o'clock now, and the players have arrived one after another and are warming up in batches.

This warm-up is not a joint practice warm-up before the start of the game. It is a targeted warm-up carried out by the players according to their own conditions.

So the venue is not open to spectators yet.

But Chen Yu has a work permit and should be able to go there.

Chen Yu wanted to observe the work of the medical team.

He walked through the work passage, which was underground and connected in all directions. When he came here for the first time, Chen Yu walked completely based on his feeling.

As I walked, I found that I had reached the away team's side.

But it doesn't matter.

The visiting team should have arrived.

From a distance, Chen Yu saw Tracy McGrady, the Magic's super rookie who had just signed a big contract with the team this summer.

And Mike Miller, this year's fifth overall pick, walked out of the visiting team's locker room together and walked to the court talking and laughing.

Chen Yu pays attention to basketball games, but he is busy with work and doesn't actually watch much. However, he still knows about some stars and potential rookies.

Just as he was about to pass, another person walked out of the visiting team's locker room right behind him.

Grant Hill!
Chen Yu recognized the superstar who was known as Jordan's successor at a glance.

"By the way, he seems to be going to the Magic this year."

Chen Yu remembered that he had seen news in the summer that Hill had left the Pistons and joined the Magic.

The media is still fantasizing that he and McGrady will form the Orlando Twins together.

Hill was wearing sportswear and did not walk to the court. Instead, he walked back and forth in the tunnel and consciously moved his left foot.

Chen Yu remembered that in the second round of the playoffs last season, it was also against the Heat. Hill sprained his left foot.

But he must have had surgery. Isn't the recovery good enough?

Chen Yu's eyes fell on Hill's left foot.

Silently use the system's all-seeing eye skill.

This is the only passive skill that Chen Yu got after getting this "Sports Medicine Master System".

[All-Seeing Eye: Let you have God’s perspective]

At this time, Chen Yu's eyes, like X-rays, saw through Hill's skin, going deep layer by layer, and saw the dense tendons on the ankle, and the three bones that make up the ankle structure, the tibia, the fibula, and the Injured, talus with steel plate.

Real, vivid and vivid, the effect is more powerful than any inspection equipment.

Chen Yu frowned.

He saw many problems, such as red and swollen peroneus longus muscles and a small number of capillary ruptures in the tibionavicular ligament.

This guy's ankle must have been sprained again.

The most troublesome thing was that Chen Yu saw some extremely small cracks in the talus fixed with metal objects.

He should have had ankle surgery in early May, and it has been 180 days since. If this happened, either the postoperative recovery was not good enough, or the injury occurred again.

Of course, this level of damage is very subtle and difficult to detect with instruments.

This is why Hill can still walk back and forth and move normally.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu walked over.

"If I were you, just sit still and don't move your left foot."
