What happened to that MRI? (UPDATE)

by Option27 on Jul 15, 2008 11:12 PM CDT

[UPDATE: MRI results are in: minor tendonitis. -ed.]

Wasn't Rose getting an MRI on that knee this past weekend?

According to ESPN, Rose will likely undergo an MRI when he returns to Chicago this weekend.

How long does it take to get those results? From what I've seen in the past, not long at all. If he indeed got an MRI on the knee, the results should have already been revealed. Right? I just need that peace of mind. They keep saying that it's no big deal but I need the proof to finally stop worrying.

Turns out Reinsdorf couldn't afford to have it done.

Reinsdorf and all Bulls Bank Accounts

are frozen, their bank went under due to mortgage crisis. Chicago Bulls now only have a total of $100,000 guaranteed remaining. Jerry cancelled MRI.

Does that mean that P-On is starting now?

Probably got delayed

cuz of that court thing thing

Or

our wonderful Chicago reporters would rather report on the court thing rather than the MRI.

It's possible he might have to wait for the MRI

I have no idea what kind of medical facilities the Bulls provide on their own, but MRIs aren’t something you can just book a day in advance, even for someone as important as Rose.

I thought he had the MRI this past Saturday.

by chgobr on Jul 15, 2008 3:46 PM CDT up 0 recs

Yeah

If they said the MRI was this past weekend, wouldn’t we have read a report that they had rescheduled it?

It must have already been done or I would hope some reporter out there would have picked up on the story that the date on the MRI had been moved.

by Option27 on Jul 15, 2008 5:41 PM CDT up 0 recs

Actually, I just had an MRI.

Of my brian.

It was scheduled within one day. I knew the results within 24 hours, though they told me it would take 5-10 days.

LMAO. "Brain."

I apparently needed it, too.

Although I am sure Brian is a nice guy.

OT

What for? I hope everything’s okay. I’ve been through several, but fortunately, my brian has been largely rehabilitated.

John Paxson has been like family to me. I can no more disown him than I can disown my white grandmother, who also was unable to pull off any deals for superstar free agents or hire a top-notch coach.

Precautionary.

To rule out certain dreadful maladies like MS and cancer.

But the MRI results were entirely normal. My brain, such as it is, is intact.

Thank you (and everyone else) for the well wishes.

Option27 you are a mind-reader

I came on the site because i was going to do a fanpost of what happened to the MRI. The exact words you used. I do not like that there is no report about the MRI. Usually you can see almost immediately what the MRI reveals. If there is a problem they often require further consultations or studies. I do not want to be paranoid but I am concerned and would like to know what is going on.

My dad had an MRI today...

He’ll get word of his results in 5-10 days.

not sure that is relavent

Does your dad get paid millions for a profession that relies on his body to be in top shape?

he works for the United States Postal service...

I hear they pay pretty well.

hope both come out negative by the way

I’m sure we will find out status on Rose’s knee as soon as they know and would think the urgency on Rose would be high if the Bulls thought there was a chance it could be serious

by NY Chicago Fan on Jul 15, 2008 4:18 PM CDT up 0 recs

MRI reads

the results take as long as it takes for a radiologist or orthopaedic surgeon to look at the images – about 10 minutes. So if he had the MRI done, I’m sure the images were reviewed immediately by all the team physicians. Whether or not the info was released is a different issue.

by FAQ on Jul 15, 2008 6:09 PM CDT up 0 recs

I agree - that is why no report concerns me.

A delay is consistent with finding something that is a concern. I hope this isn’t true.

Update: normal MRI, minor tendinitis

Injury report is up at Bulls.com:

Bulls guard Derrick Rose was evaluated Monday by Bulls team physician Dr. Brian Cole of Rush University Medical Center.
“Derrick has a mild case of tendonitis in his right knee," said Cole. A precautionary MRI was normal and Rose will continue therapy and be monitored very closely.

Relax, fanboys and girls.

Thank God is not serious

I was waiting for this news since the first day that he didn’t played on Summer League

Please Pax!!! Can you trade Hughes???

by bull83 on Jul 15, 2008 7:23 PM CDT up 0 recs

He's lucky B%#&@* isn't still around,

sitting out summer league with a wussy little thing like that – he’d have to earn his way just to get back to earning his way. ;)

If nothing else, taking Rose will at least piss off Pat Riley.
