[Feb 7] The RMN
tests-better safe, than sorry...
RMN tests will soon be self-imposed by managers of soccer teams, says
medical experts in Romania. The whole "Rapid" soccer team
(one of the most popular in Romania) were all asked yesterday by team
managers to take the RMN tests, after the Sunday incident, when a
native Romanian soccer player Ganea (now laying for a Kiev team) was
hospitalized in Spain, after having brain problems apparently caused
by clots. Medical experts, including those from Bucharest Sports Medicine
Institute, have told to TV reporters that RMN tests, if made on time
-before starting top sport careers or after any major incident, which
may cause such clots, can help treat the athlete and prevent the death.
Early signs consist of any major head strokes or persistent headaches-like
Sharon Stone case, few years ago, when an emergency surgery have removed
the danger. Same prevention, better-safe-than-sorry rules (may) apply
to gymnastics, too.
