If you're referring to HIPAA, it applies to health care professionals and insurance companies. It might be inappropriate, but unless Scott Kuykendall took up medicine, he's not subject to that.

Under FERPA, an educational institution may not disclose treatment records of its students without permission.

Yep. He can disclose Markus' playing status but not his medical condition. Likely won't say anything until they can announce everything. Hoping and praying that its just a bad bruise

I literally talked to 5 other PTs last night and couldn't come up with anything definitive.  It's all speculation at this point. He could have been at the hospital last night because centurylink doesn't have an x-ray.

Exactly. Tough to say watching the video.  Maybe no Xray, or maybe no definitive finding on XR and needed more advanced imaging. At first I thought it was the landing, but after watching again my guess is something is torn- looks like injury occurred when he was launching?

I don't think so. It pretty clearly looked like a lower back / tailbone injury. And they announced it as a hip injury. I don't think it's a leg ligament injury.

Potentially. Just looked to me like he was injured on the way up based on the way he started moving, not the impact. Regardless, we wait.

The way he was moving was because of Kyrie Thomas pushing him in the lower back.  Put him off balance, and couldn't try to avoid the contact up top by Hegner. 

Kind of like low/high hits in football.

I'll join the speculation and, based on personal experience, suggest a sacroiliac subluxation.

As one of da boreds resident doctors, wee kneed ta wayt 5 years ta judge. Aina?

If we're going based on personal experience, I'm gonna say it's hypertension....

[wildbillsb]

Well, in that case, my vote is for prostate cancer - early stages. 

Seriously,  watching the DePaul-Seton Hall game.  Love the announcers. Who are they?

[Herman Cain]

Not being able to put any weight on his right leg denotes a very serious injury. Wouldn't want to speculate at this point, but don't count on much, if any further contribution this season, from Markus.

For medical matters it's okay to speak English otherwise please go back to Sheboyganese for better comprehension for us on the board.

I'm going with perimenopause.

The SID should not be sending out a tweet regarding Markus' injury.  It's illegal without his permission.

Getting permission doesn't seem like an insurmountable challenge. 

[wadesworld]

Here's a crazy thought:  Maybe they aren't really sure what the injury is yet?

The kids on these teams all sign waivers each year that allow their conditions to be disclosed to news media etc.

[Windyplayer]

Which could very well be a good thing. Usually when there's something obvious/serious seen on imaging, the announcement is made shortly thereafter.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Markus pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

[avid1010]

Seriously, it was easier to troop movement information out of the old East Germany than an update on Markus?

How hard it is for the SID to send out a tweet?

And save the "confidentiality" and "further testing" crap.  They knew last night. 

How about starting with if he came home with the team.

What is the benefit of letting the opponent know of his condition?

[auburnmarquette]

What is the benefit of letting the opponent know of his condition?

Agreed! It would have been easy to tweet out at halftime last night, "news from the locker room, we think we can frustrate Creighton with a 2-3 zone and bit of full court pressure!" to keep us fans happy - but we don't need Creighton knowing that.

Reminds me, as an old timer, of the outrage among the public when George Allen kicked the Washington Post and other press out of the Redskins practices en route to the Super Bowl.

Save Markus!

They can sign waivers this is true. I have no idea if the team actually does. General rule of thumb is to wait on disclosing any information that could be protected until it is necessary. There is no reason for Marquette to rush announcing Markus' condition

[connie]

Save Markus!

He's a righteous dude.

[dgies9156]

Maybe pregnancy!

[warriorchick]

Maybe pregnancy!

Definitely not.

[Jay Bee]

Maybe a herniated disc. C spine a1n@
