What Chase Utley Can Expect from Dr. Culp

Posted by Daily D Friday, July 27, 2007


First off all, John Lannan can be the first guy I add to my "Fuck You List" (Thanks to Sports Hernia for the idea), for effectively ending the season of my beloved Phillies. He hit Utley and Howard consecutively and broke Utley's hand in the process. Utley manged to finish the game, which is astounishing considering it was his throwing hand. According to Phillies.com, Utley will see Dr. Randall Culp tomorrow to have his hand further examined. What can he expect from Dr. Culp?

You see, last summer I broke my hand and went to none other than Dr. Culp for surgery. Here is what my wrist looked liked then, after surgery, and now (taking shots of course!). There is a plate and nine screws in there and I can throw a baseball, shoot a basketball, use a screwdriver, and do anything else you can think of with a right wrist. (That's gross, don't think of that).

Dr. Culp is one of the top Doctors for the Philadelphia Hand Center, the areas leading hand, arm, and wrist facilities. Dr. Culp has been written up numerous times in "Philadelphia Magazine" as one of the area's top doctors.

He is very quick and to the point, but he knows his stuff. I'm sure he will spend a little more time with Chase Utley than he did with me, but he was absolutely fantastic. He does not believe in putting people in casts, and seems to prefer to perform surgery and put a pin or a plate to hold the bone in place, so he can get the patient started on rehab right away. Depending on Utley's break, this may be an option. He likes to get the patient moving the hand to get range of motion back more quickly.

He specializes in only the hand and wrist, so he knows what he is doing and Utley will be receiving the best care he can.

As for me, he placed a plate along with nine screws in my wrist, and even picked up on an incorrectly healed broken thumb I had from a month earlier and placed two pins in that for 5 weeks. After surgery he put a half cast on there for a week and then it was removed in favor of a removable plastic cast, so I could start therapy right away. This was in the end of July, and I was done physical therapy by November 1st, and was playing basketball by Christmas.

Obviously, Utley's break is much different, but he is going to absolutely the best doctor for this sort of thing, and if there is any chance he will return this season, Dr. Culp will be the guy to get him to do that.

  2. This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I have recently decided to find a good vendor of electronic cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for tobacco cigarettes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
    "Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with spendable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented product offers convenience and performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
    I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

  18. So I went ahead and splurged -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-Red%252di-with-Speakers.html]Fatman iTube Red[/url] and I am very happy to say that I am an extremely happy customer. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it blew me away. I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was very fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

    Best accessory I could have bought...

  48. It has been found that giving patients who are suffering from mutism caused by brain injury allows for them to begin responding normally again for the first time since their accident. [url=http://www.jobhunting2011.org/]purchase ambien[/url] This is a good thing because instead of feeling very drowsy upon waking, the individual will usually wake up feeling refreshed instead of groggy and creating a difficulty to wake up during the course of the day. The differences is that it helps the patient to fall asleep, but does not help someone maintain sleep.

  54. Когда мне было 19 и я с ума сходила от любви к мужчине, который был старше меня на 13 лет и к тому же женат. Мне все говорили, успокойся, придет время и ты встретишь свою судьбу! Я в это не верила. Семью разрушать не стала. Вышла замуж за другого. Думала, клин клином... Не получилось! Развелась! Два года мучилась.

    Судьба вновь меня столкнула с ним. К тому времени он был разведен. Мы вмести жили. Но как только я стала расти по карьерной лестнице. Мне было сказано, что хотеть женщину, которая стоит на одной социальной ступеньки невозможно!

    Эту утрату я на удивление легко пережила. Потому что встретила человека, в которого влюбилась, как школьница. Роман очень стремительно развивался! Я боялась поверить в свое счастья!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    И,... выяснилось, что у него девушка. Они уже 5 лет вмести. Я сразу затормозила!

    И все прекратилось резко и внезапно. Но нас постоянно сталкивает судьба. Меня к нему тянет.

    Порой, мы бросаемся друг другу в объятия. Страстно обнимаемся. А потом, словно, вспоминаем, о препятствии и сидим, смотрим, смотрим, друг на друга и молчим...

    Как быть?:confused:
