• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You do some radio probably, Yeah, I do it from
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: time time. Yes, it's a little hobby.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Let's talk, you know, Germantown. And of course you know
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: you're the team physician. I believe Rod told me upper
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: extremities specialists. When you say upper extremities, I think arms
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: and hands, but I'm sure there's a lot more to.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: That, yes, or say most of us. Well, I ended
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: up doing some fellowships. I did one in sports and
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: then I did a second one in upper extremity. So
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I sort of shoulder and elbow sort of my love,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: but I do hand and wrist as well. So anything
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: pretty much, anything that happens the upper extremity I can,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: He'll take care of it. Then we always get trained
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: on everything else too.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, So this is I believe you said you've been
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: here one year. This is year two. So take us
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: that through what that's been like. And you know I've
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: told Rod this and Camilla and everybody Asisippi Sports Medicine,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: and I think most people would echo this. Twenty five
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: years ago, you didn't have team physicians, right, not in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: high school. I mean you had, and it's all you had.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you had it. You had the ambulance that
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: was backed up down there, maybe you had a guy
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: on staff that knew a little bit about what they
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: were doing, but if you had a pretty bad incident,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: then you were like, oh, oh, what do we do?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I think it's amazing what Missisippi Sports Medicine does to
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: be able to have you guys out, to be able
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to not just be involved, but really take care of
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: these young men and women.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: No, I agree with that, you know, and this is
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: one of the things they too. Like if you really
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: look at the front line, I think one of the
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: things that really empowers.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: At least does is the physician is just we have this.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Incredible like trainer corps, like athletic trainer Corps.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially here like Cody.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I mean he does like a high school class with
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: him and he's always got several kids running around on
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: doing things and he's training them on little things because
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, like you know, when I
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: was growing up, it wouldn't common to you know, have
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: a near blackout from like a heat injury or like
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: you know, getting hitting the head a few times and
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: stuff like that, and that was a normal part of it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And I don't think there's anything obviously nothing wrong with it,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: but I think knowing what we know now, because the
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: main thing is like, you know, these kids want to play,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: and the thing is is like to keep them playing,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: you got to keep them healthy. And so uh, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: mean the you know, Elite we kind of uh kind
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: of are kind of co coligned with Elite Physical Therapy
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and they run a lot of the athletic trainers and
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, and dude, we couldn't do for the physicians.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: We couldn't do half the stuff without them because they're
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: really the front line and they make our job a
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: whole lot easier.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And plus, when you go there, you know if they're even.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: If it's little things like if they're focused on like
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: heat cramps or anything like that, or maintaining the hydration
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: it's like and that also allows us as the physician
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: to really kind of step back and kind of look
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: at the whole and say, when you do see an injury,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I feelk you can treat it better because you just
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: have all that support there. It really has been incredible
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: and I feel like it's night and day from when
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I was growing up playing sports. And uh, I don't know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: It's really cool because I feel like ultimately again, like
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: you know, just like when you were a kid and
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: you were playing sports, I mean, you just want to play.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: That's a part, that's part that's a part of your personality,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: that's a part of like how you see yourself. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: to be able to to help these kids out and
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: allow them.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: To still have that and stay healthy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: He's pretty incredible, doctor Woodelle. He is team physician for
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the Germantown Mavericks are part Ofssissippi Sports Medicine Tuesday edition
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: of the program. Yeah, and to what you said too,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And I had another doctor say this, Uh, and I
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: never thought about this is you know, somebody's got to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: protect the kids from themselves and the parents too, right,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: because absolutely, it's such a big and I hate to
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: say it, like this seven high school, it's a big business. Right,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot on the line for you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: potential scholarships and this and that, and so you get down.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Let's just have a scenario here. We get down at
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the end of the season and this team, uh, not
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Germantown specifically, but the a team has a young man
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: who's a big part of that team takes a bad injury, Well,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: then the kid's gonna want to play. Just what you said,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the parents are gonna want them to play. And that
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: sometimes means that you guys have to be the bad guy.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: But there has to be somebody that can kind of
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: be that intermediary there.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And I think and that is difficult, and I think
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that's great.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: And that's one of the reasons why I think that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: most toorithpedic doctors really love, especially taking care of athletes,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: because they just want to play, like they want.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: To get better.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: And so always tell you know, whenever I'm talking to
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: somebody that has an injury like that, you know, because
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you know, like when you were growing up, it was
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: like rub some dirt in it, you're gonna be oh, yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Or let's get an injection.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: You know, you're gonna be fine. And we know that now,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: like sometimes that's not always the right answer. I mean,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: sometimes the right answer is to let's just chill a
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: little bit, Let's let this rehab a little bit. You know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: you know, God forbid, you know, if we need surgery,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: we need surgery in order to correct that you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: structural problem.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: But then you know, uh, I don't know. I always
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: tell them, I'm like, look, there's pain.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: There's pain that you push through, like like if you're
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: working out or doing everything like that, you're always going
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: to have that. There's pain you push through, and there's
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: some there's something you don't and it can be hard
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: to recognize as a kid because you as you know,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: or even an adult. I mean, hell, I have problems
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: recognizing it too sure and so uh, even in myself.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: And so I think being able to kind of step
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: back and say, like, this is what you know, this
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: is what I'm diagnosing you with. We can usually back
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: and this really great for us because we can back
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: it up.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: We have a train and.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Again the trainers are with them every day, so they
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: can update us on how everybody's doing. But then you
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: can also like you can as they're going through the rehab,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: as they're going whatever.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And even if it is.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Just like a little week of rest or a little
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: two weeks of rest, that's still I fit overall keeps
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: them from having a career ending injury. I mean, you
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: just gotta be able to recognize it and so uh.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: And as it is one of the hardest things about
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: a physician because I don't want to keep these kids
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: from playing like I want them to play, I really
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: really do. But unfortunately sometimes it just means like, hey man,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: let's just take let's just take a breather for a
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: little bit and then let's get healthy before we do it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: We're visiting with doctor wood Dale and of course I
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: he's with MISSIP Sports Medicine, also a marine and now
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: works with the army as well. We appreciate your service
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: as well, sir. Yeah, let me ask you this upper extremities.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: When you start talking elbow shoulder, I'm saying this, I'm joking,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: but not are we still popping shoulders back in?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I'll just pop it back really Yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And so I mean I would say, you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: especially you know, we don't really lead with our helmet anymore.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: So a lot of the times, uh, it went from
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the spectrum of where then you would try to lead
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: with your shoulder and then and we've actually improved, uh,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the tackling technique, I mean even now, I mean even now, Uh,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: And a lot of it's come down from the NFL
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: into the college and it's solely slowly starting to kind
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: of diffuse into the the high school sports as well.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, and.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: This may be a just stalt thing where I just
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: see it, but it was like, you know, we stopped
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: leading with our helmets and then you know, leading with
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: their shoulders. Now all of a sudden, we're having a
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: little bit more shoulder injuries. And that's a little bit
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: more things like that, because you know, shoulder instability, which
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: is you know when you talk about popping shoulders back in.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's truly a spectrum.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Some people, even if they just sort of tweak it,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: they can still call some damage in there that can
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: eventually lead to a weakness that can eventually lead to
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: a failure, which would be like you know, worst case
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: in ear, like a dislocation, things like that. The good
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: thing is that you know, there is a good amount
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: because it is truly spectrum, there's a good amount that
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: you can treat without surgery, that you can treat with
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: some aggressive therapy and some time. Because I mean, a
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: lot of these a lot of these are younger kids,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: and they're gonna heal up pretty well, and then you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: whenever the ones that don't, unfortunately, you know, then you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: we have a lot of really good options in order
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: to kind of restore that anatomy to kind of give
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: them a stable, stable shoulder. But yeah, no, it's yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: you definitely definitely see it. That's I probably, I'd probably say.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And you can talk to the trainers as well. I
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: mean you get you see a decent amount of shoulder injuries,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: not always the ones that just pop out, but you know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: like that spectrum of it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, final uh, final moments here with the doctor Woodale
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: he is with Mississippi Sports Medicine. To Germantown. Man, what
• 8:53

• 9:13
  Speaker 4: school sports. I mean, it has been awesome being here.

  Speaker 4: It really really is. I mean, like the energy the
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: coaches bring, the energy to athletes bring. Uh, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: it's fun like you know, uh, being able to come
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to the games and kind of sit on the sideline.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: You know, sometimes it's easy to forget that you're like
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: the physician because you're just watching the game because this
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: is this is fun to watch and just I mean
• 9:31
