Shariff Floyd was going to have some "routine" arthroscopic surgery in his knee two years ago, and be out for about a month.
Once they started operating they decided he needed micro-fracture surgery, which according to Floyd, was done poorly.
Long story short. His NFL career is over and he's suing the Andrews and his sports clinic for $180 million.
The 27-28 year old Floyd, who was outstanding, wants to be compensated for what happened.
THIS will be an interesting case.
How long before sports medicine becomes too expensive for the doctors to perform? Maybe athletes who get hurt will simply be done. No sane surgeon will want to touch them.
The financial risk will be too great.
And the days of billion dollar contracts will be over as well. What sane owner will pay that kind of money to a player who can no longer be fixed?
