My star second-year linebacker appeared on the injured list today. At first, I thought nothing of it, then horror, then lightened up. His injury is listed as a "spinal fracture" oh my. Call the ambulance on the field, and tell him he probably won't walk again. Wait, the injury duration is only 28 days! If that's the case, I'll put him on the six-weeks disabled list, and he'll be tackling in the playoffs. Hmm, "spinal fracture" is just text.
Reminds me of a Lombardi quote. "That's not a weight bearing bone! Get up and run!"

You must have in your mind, that 1 day at RZA is comparable with 2 days in real life. So 28 days (4 weeks) are like 8 weeks in reality. This is still really fast.... and a player with a spinal fracture heals mostly faster than 20 days at RZA with a good doctor.

I think the likelyhood for all injuries is the same at RZA. If this is the case, than it might be good to chance it. The chance for a concussion, hamsting, and so on should be higher than for a spinal fracture or broken leg.

I can be also discussed, if the injury time should be extended.

With a level 20 Physiotherapist, a 28 day Inj is healed in ~ 10 actual days. Normally the lvl 20 yields 3 days healing per actual day, but now and then only 2.

That's good. A spinal fracture is just a text phrase in RZA. I'm sure my country-doctor trainer can heal this guy in time. Here I had visions of a quadraplegic running back. He'll run again.

One of my players suffered a fractured spine several weeks ago. When the team's medical staff asked him where his injury was, the response was eerily similar to this...




My team's senior doctor put some of the "soccer spray" on him shortly afterwards, and he's as good as new these days. That spray works miracles, I tell ya! MIRACLES!!!
