1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: We're to head out to the Kawe Comma Spirit Health

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hotline as we typically do here on Mondays around this

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: time and check in with doctor Dave Schneider, brought to

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: you by Ortho Colorado Hospital, part of Common Spirit Health.

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Go to Orthoclorado dot org. Doctor Schneider. Good to catch

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: up with you. How are you.

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Happy Victory Monday to you.

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: Indeed, great to chat with you. And yeah, we're we're

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: running off seven in a row. It's pretty good times.

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: So on the Broncos here, Patzertan came on with us

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: on Friday said he's forty six percent. Now, I know

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: that a couple of weeks ago you were feeling pretty

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: like this is a bad situation. I'm thinking we're leaning surgery.

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: We now know after the fact they aren't putting them

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: on IR. That doesn't look like they're going to need surgery.

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: So what does forty six percent mean to you as

17
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: far as his timeline.

18
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: Well, of course I'm curious how it comes up with

19
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: that number, me too. Perhaps it means that an MRI

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: or even now repeated MRIs show that it's just partial

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: tendon injury to his spector als, which I think in

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: this game as a guarantee that he has a partial

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: peck injury and that it hasn't retracted, and that maybe,

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: particularly in his case a superlative athlete. One of the

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: things about a superlative athlete is they have a superlative

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 2: ability to heal an injury that might hamper someone else.

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: So maybe it's possibly it's just going to miss a

28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: couple of weeks and he'll be back.

29
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: Doc, what do you make of this situation with Alex

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: Singleton and what he's going through? And we know the

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: kind of mental aspect of it, but let's talk about

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: the physical aspect of it and how that plays a

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: role on how quickly he gets back on the field.

34
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: What a mentally strong human being that you can go

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: into a game knowing that you have testicular cancer you

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: haven't told anyone, did you go and play sixty snaps

37
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: and then the very next morning and go have surgery

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: and win? In his case, you know what we call

39
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: an orchieectomy, that's when you have one of your testicles removed.

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: I just think that is such an amazing move by

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: someone who can do that, and you know now they

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: do that incision minimally and basically it's more up and

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: you're groin. Remove the testicle and it wouldn't be surprised

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: if he comes back and plays, even in just a

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. The nice thing about catching it early,

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: which is what I hope every listener, every guy hearing this.

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: It's it's important. Just like women need to do a

48
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: monthly breast exam, guys need to do a testicle exam.

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: Feel your balls. If there's something wrong, there's like there's

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: a lump or something that's really really tender, you got

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: to have it checked. It's just a simple ultrasound exam,

52
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: and it can be life saving because his chance of

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: recovering well with isolated testicular cancer and almost any type

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: you have, his ninety nine percent. He'll be fine. But

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: to be able to play with that on your mind,

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm just so blown away. I'm really really impressed.

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 3: Just a quick fin how does this or or does

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: it in fact testosterone production after maybe remover of I

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: guess whatever they need to do to kind of remove

60
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: the cancer.

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: Great question, Nick, There would be no effect, and we

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: see this with different organs. When when you got two

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: of something, if you lose a kidney, the other kidney

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: goes into hyperdrive. So not only do you have normal

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: testicular function for that other side, normal ability to have

66
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: a baby, normal testosterone production. It'll it'll be like it

67
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: never have an other than a small little incision.

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Last one I have for you, Doc, always appreciate the time.

69
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to check in. I don't know if

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: you saw some of the stuff with JK. Dobbins. He

71
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: was obviously grousing about the hip drop tackle when you

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: saw the injury maybe being described as maybe a mid

73
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: foot sprain. Can you tell us a little bit more

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: about that, a.

75
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: Little concerning just the way that his foot was kind

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: of wrenched that hip drop tackle. I don't know how

77
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: you enforce it. You know that backer was riding, you

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: know it tackled and was just not going to let go.

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: Looks like a hip drop tackled. But you know that

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: the way that foots took that abuse, I'm glad he's

81
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: you know, he's going to get a second opinion, which

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: you win. In the NFL. That means there's one or

83
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: two guys in NFL that are only foot doctors. Our

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: docs here in Denver are great, but that MRAI is

85
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: going to be seen by all the best foot and

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: ankle guys. Wouldn't be surprised if he misses a few games.

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: He'll have a special shoe insert that he'll play in

88
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: the rest of the season. You hope it doesn't turn

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: into a Kyler Murray thing where now Murray looks to

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: be perhaps done for the season, but hopefully JK comes

91
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: back because he's such an important tool for the Broncos.

92
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Well, no doubt about that. Now he said he was fine,

93
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: he finished the game. Can you play on that?

94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's a mild sprain and you're all, you know,

95
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: jacked up and you certainly got the juice. If it's

96
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: a mild mid foot spring that guys can play. They

97
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: might have even given him in little of the game.

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: I didn't witness this. You can put a little shoe

99
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: insert that's a really rigid, makes your shoe feel like

100
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: you're walking around and you know, like a Frankenstein boot

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: kind of thing. But you can actually play in that.

102
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: But we'll see, and of course they'll get an MRI

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: and repeat miris just to make sure the midfoot bones

104
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: aren't coming apart on Dobbin's.

105
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Appreciate you as always, Doc will check in with the

106
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: next week, all right, thanks guys, Thank you. Doctor David

107
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: Schneider from Ortho, Colorado
