Interesting reading these tweets from a retired pro-soccer player about the Dr. that cleared RGIII. No wonder this dude stepped down.

I have just read that the neurologist involved in the RG3 concussion fiasco is Dr. Kurtzke..



‏@alecko11
I cannot tell you how much pent up anger I have towards this man, as he is the same doc who nearly caused me brain damage and maybe worse..

‏@alecko11
10 years ago when I suffered a Grade 3 concussion that took me a year to recover from, Dr. Kurtzke suggested to "just keep taking Tylenol".


@alecko11
The fact that this quack still works w/ high profiled athletes is A JOKE. This man put my life at risk and is a name I will never forget.

@alecko11
He cleared me to play just days after. So I began practicing w/ headaches + what felt like a 5 lb weight in my head.

@alecko11
When I explained that taking painkillers and continuing to play w/ bad symptoms didn't seem smart, he asked me who the doctor was...


@alecko11
I've never had a doctor be so condescending while spewing BS. But I wanted to play, and he told me I was fine to play. So I played...


@alecko11
After practice that week my headaches + pressure in my head got so bad, I swerved behind the wheel + had to pull over. I knew I wasn't OK..

‏@alecko11
Anyone that has followed me on social media knows I HATE talking about my struggle w/ this. But reading this man's name just hit a nerve...

‏@alecko11
Not true... When I finally saw a new neurologist he immediately shut me down indefinitely based on my symptoms.
