Why do you keep asking me a pathetic question that I have already answered?
No, its the equivalent of someone calling out a load of know nothing social media cretins who think they have the right to judge the credentials of a qualified doctor because:
"ME WANT BEST PLAYERS FIT NOW!!! WAAAAHHHHH!!!
You keep on saying other people aren't qualified to have an opinion on this, well neither are you.
I don't think that anyone here has the medical knowledge to legitimately question their respective capabilities within their profession.
To do so would be foolish.
Every team thinks they are hard done by. One team has to be at the bottom of the 'injury list' table - last year it was us. Don't think that warrants bringing into question our medical team's standards of working.
We all know everything, don't we.

Errr....one is a qualified doctor, and one is head physio of a PL football club.
I am not qualified to know what they do medically.
But my brain tells me that the immense amount of studies they passed and criteria that qualified them to land their jobs means that they know what they are doing.
Your brain tells you that because you want Spurs to win, and some players are out injured that you would like to play..........we should change medics.
You titled the thread "Heroes." You're upset because other people don't like who you like. Plus, you're trying to pull on people's heart strings by pulling out the one time they saved someone's life on the pitch. Maybe if someone in the stands has a heart attack and our physios run into the stands to save their life I'll agree with you, but seeing as I expect they couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone that gets paid less than 10 grand a week...I'm not biting.

There are serious issues to be raised with our injury list which is almost always at the top of near the top of the league season in season out. The medical staff did a great job with Muamba and indivdually I assume or expect they are probably all very good, I doubt we have complete morons on the medical team.
However the stats show that somewhere along the line we have an issue, it might be that our medical team is too small for the size of our squad, maybe we haven't spent enough on the right medical facilities. There might be a number of factors, it is better to do a careful anaysis and remedy the situation with money if needed to make sure we have the full resources to keep the players fit.

I don't think you can compare a highly skilled and trained profession, with football management. UEFA coaching badges are not on par with 7-year medical degrees.
I do agree we can light-heartedly question, but on here, what is the point, when no one will have the answers?
We also pay professional footballers, have done for many years - does that mean we cannot say they are incompetent too when they clearly have been?
I am not saying our medics are good or bad compared to the rest, none of us have a clue, just saying like in every profession, you can have 10 people all with same credentials yet perform different standards and methods

too many injuries could just as easily be bad coaching
pushing players to hard hence they break
or the players not looking after themselves to a good standard diets, exercise etc...
there's a lot of different variables to be considered really
me personally I'd fire them both and hire some strippers

For every doctor there is one that finished in the bottom of his class. Just because you're qualified doesn't mean you're the best in your field.
I think that issue is people playing football get hurt..
People like to ignore the fast recoveries, and the fact that our injury problems are not unlike any other teams.
For the record, I don't think that firing our whole medical staff is a good idea. However, if there is a problem that is associated with a specific element it needs to be worked on. Like

said, there are so many variables when it comes to this subject you can't neccisarily put the blame on one person.
The only reason I'm arguing at all is that I think the concept of this thread is dumb.
EDIT: maybe not the concept, but the subject line just irks me.

Its no dumber than people demanding a medical team be fired because they think other clubs players recover after one day.
