    As a physician, I can definitely say there is 0% chance he played with septic arthritis. I love Maxx, any physician who would clear a player with septic arthritis should lose their license

      Hey doc! 26 y/o M w/ acute onset of a swollen, warm, red, painful L knee. Vitals show temp >100.4. Joint fluid aspiration is successful & cultures grow a specific bacteria. What’s the diagnosis?

        LOL, yes, septic arthritis. Well, typically in any adult < 35 yo presenting with acute painful monoarticular arthritis you’re either worried about GP septic arthritis or gonococcal arthritis. Find it extremely hard to believe he underwent washout for septic arthritis, which would still require prolonged abx therapy and play on Sunday
