I only brought it up because its a parallel for the conversation we are having.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Yeah that's right....send him to a head dr that will prescribe him a bunch of SSRI drugs.

Then in a year or two he becomes a wacked out zombie, then does something like shoot someone or himself.

You believe it's parallel, yet you haven't provided any details.

For all we know, your parents gave your dog away when you were 5 years old and it scarred you for life.

Yep, a year or two after SSRI therapy, you become a whacked out zombie. WTF are you talking about? Do you even know how those drugs work and why they have very little side effects?

Why would he need to fake PTSD? If he didn't want to play but wanted to continue earning his contract as a backup, all he needed to do is allow a few pass rushers to sack his QB at a critical juncture.

"Cash grab" doesn't make any sense.
Martin's parents are lawyers. He can sue the Dolphins over this and get as much as $17 million in damages under Florida law. This could very well be him setting up a sob story for the courtroom.

I happen to know many and have known many in my lifetime. Their only "agenda" is to help people. Period.

It's always hilarious to me when people suggest doctors are only in it "for the money", as if seven years of schooling, residency, malpractice insurance and being on call 24-7 your entire life is just so easy.
I'd never say all health care professionals are out to **** over those that need their help. I'm sure there's a large percentage of them that pursued that specific type of profession because they genuinely want to help people.

That doesn't change the fact that there's a bottom line. There's always a bottom line.

It still doesn't make any sense.

If he's an effective and productive starting left tackle in the NFL, he can earn that much in free agency in three years or less.

I just love how everyone is "evil".

LMAO

Look man, I'm sorry to hear you had a rough childhood. That sucks.

But this is not a parallel. Different people respond differently to different stimuli. Simply put, things affect people differently.

So, what's the bottom line? What, exactly, are you asserting?

All it takes is one story to change everyone's beliefs.

That the health care profession as a whole, from hospitals to the pharmaceutical companies, stand to gain A LOT of money in over diagnosing and over medicating the population.

Yeah, totally agree. I generally defer to professionals (like you, I take it?) who know this. He wouldn't be treated without reasonable cause, right?
Haven't taken a psych class since HS, but I know more about MMPI validity scales than I care to.

A (probably very) small minority of medical professionals do. We call them whores.

Well, I couldn't disagree more when it comes to healthcare professionals.

If you could give me a specific instance, I'd be more than willing to listen. But I have no less than a dozen close friends (and parents of friends) that are doctors and therapists that would scoff at your assertion.
