Most probably don't know this, but team doctors pay for the privilege of being the team doctor. It is a marketing strategy and medical chops/merit has less to do with being chosen than does being the highest bidder. That is why players show little loyalty to the home team docs and often end up going to regional orthopedic superstars - not that we local orthopedists don't think we might have a superstar or two :-) Player agents may have a more global perspective on which doctors are worth going to see for treatment for their high profile clients.
