Misdiagnosed as a thyroid problem and sent home with a prescription for Tirosint ?

Wheating is a complete head case which has kept him from achieving his potential. It's a shame because he really is a gifted runner.
So glad I didn't run 3:30 in college. Ran 4:20 and still going 35 years later!

However, if memory serves, this is a contract year for Wheating, so he has every motivation to get healthy, be healthy, and have a season for being resigned.
What it seems like is that as a new runner, later in high school, he rose up in successive heavier training, and got those Ferrari results in college, and then started to break down due to cumulative wear and tear and stress.
This guy has a major talent engine, and we need him healthy and competitive to make an Olympic final and do something!
It turns out it is an infected blister, according to someone on TF&N's board, which can be serious. My question is, how does a professional, which support staff, medical people, etc., I assume, allow a blister to become infected. I was a mug runner, and I know enough to treat a blister so I could keep running.
Good catch, and good point.
But, this sport is more secretive about injuries than the NFL. So, we don't have all the details. I does seem odd to get an infection, but again, who the heck knows.
Sometimes I wonder if UO doesn't have better trainers, medical support, physios etc., than OTC...

How is it no one has called the doctor a "quack," yet?
Anyway, here's to Wheating's health and realizing his potential.
classic case of hurt feelings....what a puss
Infections also frequently knock out NFL and NBA players (who have among the best medical care anywhere), in addition to killing literally hundreds of thousands of people in the United States every year. Remember also what happened to Ritz while being coached by Salazar when he had an unnecessary achilles sheath(?) surgery, got an infection, and was out the remainder of the year.

Did you just make that up? An infection from surgery is one thing, an infection from a blister is another.
If the blister is the reason Wheating withdrew from World Relays, does anyone know why he's entered in the 800 at Stanford on Saturday?

It was an infected blister that more or less ended 3:35 1500 m runner Bryan Berryhill's career about 10 years ago. He got blood poisoning, which ended his season, and he never really came back after that.
722,000 health-care related infections every year, most of them non-surgical. Athletes very often get serious infections from locker rooms. So, just take this as what it is. He got an infected blister and will be back when it's better.

Maybe he has not notified them or they just have not updated the start list?
My guess is that we'll soon find out that it's a blister on his baton hand and has nothing to do with his ability to run.

I would think with a little practice that he could learn to carry the baton with his non-baton hand.

Once in awhile there is a good zinger here that makes you laugh a little. 9.85/10
