This might be a cousin of mine. What a way to find out about a potential family member.
We should keep that in mind. Any time anybody that has ever played football and does some wrong or dies, CTE HAS to be on the differential. Great thinking. Never mind that without data backing it up as a likely diagnosis to place on your differential in the first place it would be just as relevant as me placing the last meal he had causing him food poisoning while driving being on the differential too.Facts. No psychiatrist, psychologist, neuropsychologist, neurologist or pathologist could rule out CTE. As well, it's not as if Lacy is someone with a low pretest probability of CTE. He's played high level football for years. It's not like he's an 8 year old bookworm. CTE has to be on the differential diagnosis.

Actually keeping it long is stupid because then you’re going to do a million dollar work up chasing things unnecessarily. The point of a differential is having a succinct, plausible list of items based on the data you have acquired. Unless you have some evidence to say he has CTE besides him playing football (correlation doesn’t equal causation, ie just because you smoked for 50 years doesn’t mean you died of lung cancer) then don’t play games on this end of the pool.
I didn't say anyone. I said Lacy, considering he had some erratic behaviour. Poor doctors keep their differentials short. Keeping it long is important. But I'll let you cook.
WBRZ was as terrible.

Probably something that doesn’t include ignoring the multiple socioeconomic factors and the laundry list of possible psych ICD codes to choose from that could explain his behavior and what led to his death rather than saying “football…CTE”.What workup are you gonna do for CTE when someone is alive?
Again, look at his behaviour. Have you read the thread/the story? You're acting like he just died suddenly in his home with a known history of Brugada syndrome.
How is this terrible? The way you nikkas cape for scumbags![]()

And what I asked what, besides him playing football, would give you cause to say CTE was involved in his case.CTE was found in 92% of former players tested
Boston University provides update on CTE study, discovers brain disease in 92 percent of ex-NFL players analyzed
Boston University studied the brains of 376 deceased NFL players and found CTE in 92 percent of them, the school announced in its updated report.www.usatoday.com
Yall are leading with emotion grow up man
1- The elephant in the room is if you’re playing college football and up, you more than likely would develop CTE. Full stop. That’s the dirty nasty secret no one —-including fans —-want to talk abou
1b- Thankfully, not everyone is going to show signs or have it impair them. However….
2- And I said this on page TWO. CTE can be an aggravating factor. Do you mfers know what even means?!?!
It means if you have pre-existing mental or cognitive issues, CTE can make it worse. Since the start of this thread, we’ve been made aware that as early as his college signing day—-so age 18/19—-they said ‘he’s I overcome grades and a lot of other issues’. Last year Brian Kelly said ‘he’s a high strung young man with discipline and emotional control issues he’s working on’. Clearly, there was something going on with him from a mental standpoint that would make him more likely to be affected by the threat of CTE
He could have been depressed, he could have been bipolar, he could have been flat out crazy. AND have CTE. It is not an ‘or’
Read. Read. Read. You mfers do not read you throw out your opinions then stand on it no matter what bc you don’t want to be wrong it’s childish as fukk
Probably something that doesn’t include ignoring the multiple socioeconomic factors and the laundry list of possible psych ICD codes to choose from that could explain his behavior and what led to his death rather than saying “football…CTE”.
Also you just answered your own question of why it shouldn’t be on the differential in the first place with your first question. How did you come to the conclusion it should be on the DDx other than he played football?
Respectfully, give the man a chance to be buried before writing him off as another CTE case.
@NYC Rebelbless you
But CTE can lead to him driving recklessly. I'm not saying that's what happened in this case but you cannot rule it out. A medical professional would not say CTE was ruled out in his case.
I get it though. CTE shouldn't be used as an explanation for everything, as people do this stuff without ever suffering chronic head trauma. But one cannot say definitively that it wasn't a factor in Lacy.
I'm not saying he had CTE, and CTE isn't the only thing that cause someone to struggle with emotional control and discipline, but the bolded doesn't necessarily argue against CTE.
Also, you don't have to be in the NFL to have CTE
In July 2019, just months after graduating from high school, 18-year-old Wyatt Bramwell took his own life. About a year later, researchers at Boston University diagnosed him with stage 2 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known as CTE, caused by playing tackle football for several years.
Again, I'm not saying Lacy committed suicide or drove recklessly because of CTE. I'm saying we can't say it's impossible for him to have had CTE.
And what I asked what, besides him playing football, would give you cause to say CTE was involved in his case.
You said a lot to say “no sir, I don’t have any evidence to corroborate my claim other than he played football”
“But one cannot say definitively that it wasn't a factor in Lacy.”Again, his erratic behaviour remotely and in the last 4 months.
Also, where did I say "football...CTE"? without considering other psych diagnoses?
Did you miss those parts before you decided to pop off?
