🎙️ Prove Me Wrong — The Jalen Hurts Blood Clot Conversation with Dr. Stephanie Carter, MD 🩺🏈
This week, we’re having a conversation that goes beyond football. After all the questions surrounding Jalen Hurts and his blood clot diagnosis, I brought in Dr. Stephanie Carter, MD, to help break down the medical side of this situation and address the questions that have been on my mind. Then we switch gears and get into the Week 8 NFL slate and our predictions!
🩺 THE JALEN HURTS SITUATION — LET’S GET INTO IT! — Joining me is Dr. Stephanie Carter, MD, for an in-depth conversation about what happened, what we know, and what we still need to understand.
A few of the questions we tackle:
What were our initial reactions when the news about Jalen Hurts broke?
What exactly is a blood clot? Breaking down the difference between superficial clots, DVTs, and pulmonary embolisms.
THE LONDON FLIGHT: Why was Jalen able to travel overseas and fly back to the United States after his diagnosis?
THE 20+ HOURS AWAKE: What were the concerns surrounding his sleep, travel, and ability to play in the game?
RECOVERY TIME: What does the road to recovery look like, and when can an athlete safely return to competition?
THE CHRIS BOSH COMPARISON: After Bosh's career was cut short because of recurring blood clots, what factors contribute to clots returning, and what does that mean for athletes?
These are important questions, and I wanted to bring an actual medical professional into the conversation to help us understand the answers. Huge thanks to Dr. Stephanie Carter for joining us!
🏈 WEEK 8 NFL PICKS! — After the medical deep dive, we shift back to football. We break down the Week 8 matchups, make our predictions, identify potential upsets, and see who we're backing to get the win. Who's getting it right this week?
