E-Man is my favorite non-vol by far. A guy by the name of Dairese Gary who played against my high school 3 years ago also plays for the Lobos! My secong favorite team!

I don't. The kid wanted to play AND play at Tennessee. Tennessee could just as easily granted him the same waiver New Mexico did. Who were we to deny him his dream to play here.:frown:

Oh, wait. Wrong thread :wink2:

I'm really glad he's getting this opportunity, but I really hope the NM docs didn't make a mistake in clearing him

Our medical staff wouldn't clear him. I dare you to be on a medical staff, watch a kid die because of a heart irregularity, luckily be brought back to life, then make the decision that he's not risking his life doing it again.

No chance in hell would I clear him.

My sophomore year I took a class called "Professional Responsibility (Philosophy 244)," it was an ethics class that dealt with moral issues doctors, lawyers, etc. would have to deal with. I feel like this scenario would have been interesting to discuss during that class...

The investigations and treatment you provide must be based on your clinical judgment of the patient's needs and the likely effectiveness of the treatment. You must not allow your views about a patient's culture, beliefs, race, color, gender, age, social status, or perceived economic worth, to influence the treatment you provide.

What makes you think N.Mexico's staff didn't consider the same facts ours did. It's the kids life and he was willing to take the chance here AND he wanted to play here, not N.Mexico.:frown:

So after he died, you'd be willing to clear him to play again?

Good luck to him. I hope he does great and stays healthy.

But I'm glad we're not going to be the next school with a Hank Gathers situation on our hands.

I would turn his life over to him and let him do what HE wanted to with it. That's something none of you can understsnd. If he's at peace with it then it's fine with me.:shakehead:
