Doc is absolutely fantastic at breaking down the complexities of the medicine into easily to understand conversation. Should definitely keep him as a go-to guy, he’s great.
Agreed, but why did Rodgers need a doc? I mean he got Covid and he did not go to a doc then, he just took ivermectin, has he all of a sudden started trusting doctors now all of a sudden? Funny ha... What a loser Rodgers is
Dr. Choa is great! He put my shoulder back together in 2001 after a complete tear of the supraspinatus muscle of the rotator cuff. It’s been solid all these years. He definitely knows what he is talking about.
I ruptured my Achilles almost exactly a year ago playing soccer. Exact same injury as Aaron, full rupture. I was told by my doctors that there’s a good chance I would never play again. It has been by far the hardest injury I’ve ever been through (I shattered my collar bone in college). I was unable to walk unassisted for 4 months post surgery. I’m still not the same after the injury. I can run and walk fine, but in no way do I have the power I had initially. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to sprint at 100% intensity again. Prayers up for Aaron 🙏🏻.
That's why in the NBA it's usually career killer. When Kobe had it, he just wasn't the same because you or pivoting, flexing, and planting on your foot and ankle. It's just going to take a long time and if he gets surgery say this week at least his rehab time will be shortened.
Big brain smart people are rare, a big brain smart man with a personality is even more rare, Pat should bring doc on more, he’s good at breaking thinks down for us
I am a soccer player and I ruptured my Achilles in highschool senior season. You can definitely come back. It’s just a tough and painful process. Depression, anxiety, sadness, drive to come back, anger, and etc. hope Aaron come back soon.
@@maxazzopardi7446I’m just saying the process one can go through having to deal with the injury. Even though he is 40, I as well can see him coming back.
@@Akinsa2023 I definitely agree with what you said but it is really hard for a soon to be 40 year old to recover fully. Glad you were able to recover. Achilles injuries are scary
Testaverde (#16) had an Achilles injury in week 1 the year Aaron Rodgers turned 16. That year the jets finished 8-8. Rodgers (#8) injured his Achilles 22 years after 9/11. Gipson(#82) returned the punt at 9:11 on the clock to make the final score 22-16. At the time it was 82 days until Rodgers birthday…
Hope the best for Rodgers I don't think he goes out like this either but. Time will tell. It is crazy how it all happened in just 5 or so minutes into the game and you gotta feel for Jets fans and Rodgers right now
PLEASE bring Doc back weekly! I'll fully admit I usually don't watch these longer videos, but Dr. Choa (spelling?) is phenomenal, personality and expertise.
Doc is awesome. Got to get him on more to breakdown injuries. Love when Docs can explain complex injuries and what not in understandable laymens terns.
@@stephanea5364 my thoughts exactly. I tore mine and im not even a professional athlete and I don't feel 100% and never will. Even 6 years after the fact. He wont come back if he's smart.
Okay I've heard enough of "yeah well my buddy tore his Achilles and never came back" like sure but was your buddy in the NFL? Did he have access to some of the best medical resources? Did he have time to rehab every single day for a year with some of the best doctors in the world?
My daughter-in-law tore her Achilles tendon, she’s in her mid thirties. It took her about three months to get back to volleyball with surgery/physical therapy.
Rodgers hurt his calf last year! Same thing happened with KD and Kobe. If y’all get calf or knee injuries please do your PT and make sure to do the work to heal your body
@Splathew I know, but it was still a ruptured achilles. The sod in Cleveland caused his injury. It was over the infield and caused his ankle to give when he planted it
Advanced flexibility/Yoga poses are your best bet along with weight training to avoiding ACL or Torn achilles. The Harop curl is a game changer it strengthen's the glutes,hamstring and calves tremendously.
The foot is not flopping down( plantarflexed position) because that’s the action for the gastrocs ( calf muscle ) and with the gastrocs being torn the opposite muscle the dorsiflexors ( muscle in front of the shin) takes over causing the foot to point up instead of flopping down
I’m honestly surprised that more sports shows don’t bring on doctors to discuss the injuries, surgeries and recovery times for the various sports leagues.
Doctor of PT here, 0% chance he comes back this year but next year is certainly possible. Probably the longest and most painful recovery outside of freak injuries like Gordon Hayward. Its true that you can get close to 100% , but this is more like 3-4 years post achilles repair, not the standard 1 year timetable. He is in a good position as a pocket passer to not ha e it affect him as much however
Doc is absolutely fantastic at breaking down the complexities of the medicine into easily to understand conversation. Should definitely keep him as a go-to guy, he’s great.
Dr Disrespect IS great. We need him to be a regular on PMS
This is the guy who got fired and almost lost his license for giving Seau access to Ambien.
NFL is scripted and rigged Rodgers was fine he stood up looked at sideline and fell down it was fake
@@CoconutMigratingdamn
@@CoconutMigratingplayers get ambien from docs all the time.
The Doc is dope!! Bring him back!
I agree. Dr. Disrespect is the man
I liked this dude a lot
Jr Seau has other thoughts
Facts
Dr. David Chao
This doctor was made for television. Loved his quick yet thorough explanations.
Agreed, but why did Rodgers need a doc? I mean he got Covid and he did not go to a doc then, he just took ivermectin, has he all of a sudden started trusting doctors now all of a sudden? Funny ha... What a loser Rodgers is
what about those mexican stem cells from the rogan friends..it heals faster with them people say
Gonna need weekly segments with this doctor. Man is a great guest all around!
Can pretty much count on at least one major injury every week.
They do have him on weekly on NFL radio on XM so it's something he's used to
Dr. Choa is great! He put my shoulder back together in 2001 after a complete tear of the supraspinatus muscle of the rotator cuff. It’s been solid all these years. He definitely knows what he is talking about.
The Doc needs to be a regular on your show. Man is charming, funny, and knows his stuff.
“Aaron Rodgers at 40 is gonna be more mobile than (my guy) Philip Rivers at age 25” 🤣
This is so facts tho 💀
I'm 40 and can run backwards on my knees faster than Philip.
Haha didn’t account for rivers third leg lol

Damn that sucks hope you are doin better man

Thank you for sharing. Wishing you and Aaron Rodgers the best!
Nothing like speaking from experience
to be fair... you dont have the access to the doctors Rodgers does so maybe thatll help
this guy was a natural on the show i hope you can bring him back when you need to talk injuries again
Dr Chao and Pat are similar in at least one regard - "I'm for grass. I stand for grass." 🤣
Big brain smart people are rare, a big brain smart man with a personality is even more rare, Pat should bring doc on more, he’s good at breaking thinks down for us

Are you 40 years old?

Great take from the Doc! Have this dude on more.
Doc is a super Doc. Very well-spoken. I agree with the Sports Medicine segment idea. Fantastic.
This doctor is a bad ass! I was super into everything he talked about!
The FIRST thing my wife said after I told her it was the punter that missed the tackle was "Pat would've made that tackle.."😂😂
I like how the doc had a few players who got injured on grass he pulled out of his back pocket. Right on cue
Get this man on every week to talk about big injuries of the prior week. Please he’s awesome.
The Doc is sick bring him back more

The doc is a fantastic guest. Definitely need to bring him back again
Great interview
I need this Dr to just say he’s gonna come back for the next 52 weeks. Thank you
This was awesome! Have this guy every week to explain injuries.
PLEASE bring Doc back weekly! I'll fully admit I usually don't watch these longer videos, but Dr. Choa (spelling?) is phenomenal, personality and expertise.
Hope the best for Arod
This doctor is awesome we need more of him
I hear he can hook you up with any pills you want
What an absolute awesome doctor!
That slow-mo replay gets me every time.
This man should be Pat’s medical correspondent on sports injuries around the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.
He's a felon though
@@jkk2940LOL HOW
@@jkk2940funniest comment I’ve read today
Wow actual doctor and not some internet pro
indeed but I have to admit the internet pros pegged this one correctly right away
I bet this offseason the Jets go crazy on upgrading that O-Line
I like Doctor Chao! Appreciate him dumbing it down for me and talkin to me like I'm still in school! That was great 👏🏾 👏🏾
i love how positive this doc is i really hope those 4 snaps wasnt AROD last snap as a jet
7:30 "How come God just kind of mailed it in on the Achilles." - Pat McAffee What a question. 😂🤣 LOL
Love Dr. Chao on SiriusXM NFL Radio also !!!!! Great to get the pro insight from the doctors also
Keep this Doc around!! Pretty damn fascinating listening to a expert translate into layman's terms for us stooges!
Doc is awesome. Got to get him on more to breakdown injuries. Love when Docs can explain complex injuries and what not in understandable laymens terns.
editor, link the guest's social media after you have them on!
Also identify them in the description!
Great communicator! Nice one guys 🤝
If I was betting man I’d say he’s coming back, way too proud to go out on a freak injury in Week 1.
He could end way worse if he comes back
@@stephanea5364 my thoughts exactly. I tore mine and im not even a professional athlete and I don't feel 100% and never will. Even 6 years after the fact. He wont come back if he's smart.
@@jeffyboi6969bro doesn’t have a family and only has one ring, who gives af about the Achilles 10 years down the road. He’s coming back.
But can he perform if he comes back? That is the question, the big lineman will still be chasing him….
@@2Greenlid Well they have next year’s off season to get a Left tackle. Even a mediocre one will be a massive improvement.
He's more mobile than me I tore my ACL AT 50 AND IM FINE AND canceled mt crutches in two weeks . Hes good . Let's go Rogers ❤
Love this doctor, thank you Sir.
The Doc is currently the front runner for MVP!!! Get this man a raise!!!
This doc needs a weekly appearance!
The way, Pat gets up and shivers after seeing the replay of the recoil😮
Love this doc!!!
Yoooooo this doc is awesome
Doc is cool as hell and perfect for this show, or any show. Keep this man on this show!
ESPN needs to sign this doctor and have him talk and answer all injury questions for the NFL
All the best to Aaron, I hope he can get back, not a fan of the jets but I feel for all involved, feel better quick dude!
this doctor has to be the only doctor on the show, informative, witty, kind, and dumbs it down for people like me to understand
Excellent analysis Doc. Pat bring this man back.
I just wanna say that this is the coolest freaking doctor I’ve ever listen to! He should be on the show more often!
This doctor is lights out, he should have a segment on a sports show.
Doc can talk game!
Love it
i love the inclusion of this doctor for real reliable info. Great personality fit for the show too, as others say, bring him back!!
Okay I've heard enough of "yeah well my buddy tore his Achilles and never came back" like sure but was your buddy in the NFL? Did he have access to some of the best medical resources? Did he have time to rehab every single day for a year with some of the best doctors in the world?
The Doc is a gem, keep him around!
My daughter-in-law tore her Achilles tendon, she’s in her mid thirties. It took her about three months to get back to volleyball with surgery/physical therapy.
I love how Pat actually grills him "yeah hows that doc?" looks concerned*
Doc should be on the show weekly! 🎉
Every achilles injury I just think of Kobe tearing his and then hitting two foul shots before limping off the court RIP
Rodgers hurt his calf last year! Same thing happened with KD and Kobe. If y’all get calf or knee injuries please do your PT and make sure to do the work to heal your body
Love this Doctor, make him a regular.
Great interview / guest!
One of the most insightful segments I’ve ever seen.
30 years ago, ACL and Achilles were career enders.
Not Dan Marino. His Achilles injury happened exactly 30 years ago. He was back the next season
@@daved1535Dan never left the pocket lol. He was a statue with one hell of a arm. He wasn't running before or after the injury
@Splathew I know, but it was still a ruptured achilles. The sod in Cleveland caused his injury. It was over the infield and caused his ankle to give when he planted it
This doc rules!
Advanced flexibility/Yoga poses are your best bet along with weight training to avoiding ACL or Torn achilles. The Harop curl is a game changer it strengthen's the glutes,hamstring and calves tremendously.
LETS GO DOC!!!
Idk, after what happened with Max Pacioretty I wouldn’t expect much.
Bring him back, so worth it in a conversation like this!
lmao Don't put Rodgers in the same sentence as Tom Brady.
The foot is not flopping down( plantarflexed position) because that’s the action for the gastrocs ( calf muscle ) and with the gastrocs being torn the opposite muscle the dorsiflexors ( muscle in front of the shin) takes over causing the foot to point up instead of flopping down
Pat's gotta go easy on the punter... don't make us pull up the clip of him completely whiffing trying to tackle Edelman on a PR back in 2012
This Doc needs to be a regular
This doctor effortlessly relates detailed medical and detailed football knowledge.
Love Doc explanation great guest Pat !
Awesome interview that guy f’s hard
This Doc is the man!
This was awesome. There’s so many idiot pundits talking about this on the web who know nothing. Thanks, Pat!
I’m honestly surprised that more sports shows don’t bring on doctors to discuss the injuries, surgeries and recovery times for the various sports leagues.
Appreciate the IndyCar comparison. Makes perfect sense to this racing fan!
He said "...my guy Philip Rivers"....is this David Chow? Uh oh
4 snaps...5 if you count the Achilles 😂
This doc is great. Quick concise realistic diagnosis, prognosis at a 6th grade level for all the NFL fans.
Doctor of PT here, 0% chance he comes back this year but next year is certainly possible. Probably the longest and most painful recovery outside of freak injuries like Gordon Hayward. Its true that you can get close to 100% , but this is more like 3-4 years post achilles repair, not the standard 1 year timetable. He is in a good position as a pocket passer to not ha e it affect him as much however
That slow motion of the tendon snap was crazy
I hope he comes back & play's . Have too go out like that would really suck.
It's great when someone is not only smart, but able to articulate thier knowledge to the masses. This guy is really good.
i want this doctor on again and the cherry on the cake would be getting him to drop an Fbomb.
Doc needs to come on everyweek
Please bring the doc back as a recurring guest
The doc is in the house.
A star is born in Doc.
Awesome to listen to.
I Like this guy. Great information and interesting.
