[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1369483, member: 10336"] I was talking about this with someone who had kids go through years of gymnastics. The procedure he used as his cover for a lot of this is, weirdly, a legitimate procedure for certain types of injuries common to gymnasts. Because of this, and because of the high-pressure "can't miss a meet" mentality in the gymnastics world, a lot of these parents, as well as some of the kids, don't question it when someone tells them that the need to do "x" in order to be able to compete. I'd be interested to see the numbers on how often this guy used that procedure vs. other physicians in similar roles. My gut tells me it's probably a factor of 10 or more. [/QUOTE]
