› $150,000,000 verdict in personal injury case
Pros and cons of various types of intra-articular injections, continuous catheters and their place in the anesthesiologists’ armamentarium was presented by Asokumar Buvanendran, MD, director of orthopedic anesthesia and associate professor of anesthesiology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, at the 2010 annual spring meeting of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine.
Gregg Zaun will have shoulder surgery next week, which will end the season early for the Milwaukee Brewers catcher. It may also mark the end of his career. “I’m not in a situation anymore where I need to play. I don’t need to play. I don’t need to play Major League Baseball to validate myself as a person,” Zaun said before the Brewers’ game against the Chicago Cubs. “Do I want to play? That’s a different story. It’s too uncertain to tell. I’m really upset about having surgery and my season being over.”
Shoulder surgery may be the only hope for Chicago Cubs pitcher Angel Guzman to get back into the game. A recent MRI revealed that the right-handed pitcher had a severe tear in a ligament in his shoulder near his armpit. Despite the finding, he says he is seeking a second opinion from renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews to determine if surgery is preferable to a more conservative treatment. “It’s gong to be tough,” he told MLB.com. “By doing (the surgery), I have a small chance (of playing in the major leagues), but there is a chance.”
