Put simply, probably because it's a physician he trusts and that our own are crap. The evidence is quite overwhelming when large numbers of our players take on additional expenses to seek medical treatment in other countries.
Not that I think our physios are doing a great job keeping players fit, but it's unfair to expect them to be specialists in all kinds of injury. If a player has a specific long lasting complaint then I would assume te club sends them to whichever doctor is likely to treat them successfully.
Meh, I've been calling for their heads since Redknapp.so that's a new addition for our Sack-list ! Sherwood, Danny Rose and all Physios team !!
Nothing new.
The Belgian players all use their National medical team to assist with injuries. It's not just our players, Kompany, Benteke, Lukaku, they are all looked after by the NT medics.
Indeed, but the evidence consisting of the extent to which how many of our players go abroad for treatment and how long our players are out with seemingly slight injuries is quite incriminating. Believe you me guy, I've been banging on about this since well before the notion became trendy. As a medical student and a player up through such a level to which we had trainers, I'm also quite familiar with how long these injuries should require to heal. Something is not right with our physio room, and I'm pleased to finally be seeing more people take note of the issue.
Medical student eh?
I've got this dick drip I've been meaning to get checked out. Anything serious??

Eh rub some dirt on it. Betcha Spurs' physios would tell you to buy out a Depends factory and stay off your feet for a year.

Maybe Levy had a warranty clause built in to the transfer contract, 2 year returnable if broken and Roma pays for the medical upkeep!!
Something we have in common with Woolwich. Both our injuries are far beyond most other teams' all season.

I don't like talking shit about the medical team without knowing much about injuries/biology etc. But us topping the injury table for so long and always having players out for so long surely means something is wrong?
Oviously our players are all top notch so opposite teams hurt them more than others out of fear.
So for instance, adam roundhouses lamela because he doesent wanna embarrase himself. Whereas shit like wilshere gets only a pat on the back.
Its all about fear.

I like your thinking
As a medical student it's also important to know more about the facts before you conclude. Thus, it's really good that you have made yourself some thoughts about it, but it's too easy to say that something isn't done properly from a far.
Therefore, I'm annoyed but the number of injuries as a fan, but as a professional I would like to know much more before being categorical about anything.
That's all fair and I agree, but unfortunately I can see nor think of any possible further source of evidence or information to lead my opinion one way or the other. And as of now as I said before, the evidence is rather overwhelmingly concerning.
Also, since this is a football forum and passive and unenthusiastic suggestions of any opinion inherently end likely unnoticed in such a place, and because it is a notion I believe deserves more notice to at least ask questions rather than necessarily call for action per se, my rhetoric is indeed admittedly less reserved and pondering here than typical expression of a professional in a correspondingly appropriate forum.
