You obviously haven't been to some third world countries hospitals, where we are sourcing doctors(and nurses, sadly) from for our health system as "skilled migrants".

Did Rockliff get surgery in a third world country?

Yes we sent him to Benin to see a Voodoo Priest he’s swimming in chicken blood as we speak.

lol i'm telling you he won't miss a single pre-season game. He'll be good to go.
Rocky went under the knife at exactly the same time last year but that was when he was on Brisbane’s list still and they knew he was leaving. Perhaps they only did a cursory job knowing that.
I am counting on us having better surgeons and procedures in SA
Lol.. i hope so.. it would be like a dentist pulling a tooth though surely...

I'm told Doctor Feel performed the surgery. He'll be good to go in two weeks.

I sliced him open, exclaimed "shits ****ed" connected his shoulder to his collarbone using cable ties and then sealed him up with gaffa. She'll be right.

He has, but it wasn't in a third world country like Thomas Rockliff.

I can’t read the article, but unless there

It’s got nothing to do with the surgery and everything to do with the rehabilitation after it, which would be done at the club and at home.
From the research I’ve done, it’s possible for the shoulder to “stick”, especially if it’s been in a sling. You’re actually meant to be put in a device that moves the shoulder around constantly so the tissue doesn’t scar over. Then it’s all about doing rehab exercises to maintain movement.
Last year after his surgery Rocky was more concerned about moving his family to a new state and assimilating into his new club, and probably nursed his shoulder more than he should have, which is why it didn’t heal properly. I’m quite certain this is why he says that it’s “more intense” this time around.

Reading between the lines in this thread, by all accounts Dr Nick Riviera has undertaken the Rocky surgery and swapped out Rocky's dodgy arm for Polly's 'good leg'

Given that Jim Carey doesn’t believe life is real there’s a chance Rockliffs shoulders never existed in the first place.

Well there you go. I said it was likely more minimal surgery last time which is what surgeons often do and more extensive now because the lesser surgery didn’t work.
What he had last year wasn't minimal.. just stop

It was keyhole surgery.. this time was much more extensive
Ok so a "SHOULDER RECONSTRUCTION" is minimal surgery? Regardless of keyhole or not? Child please

Where did I say it was minimum surgery ? I’m pretty sure I didn’t dumbo !
All I’m saying is the decision to cut him open makes this a more invasive surgery then last time, which clearly they are opting for for a reason. Surgeons don’t just cut people up for the fun of it, they always keep cutting to a minimum, hence why last time was keyhole.
