Because If he ends up disabled his life is over? Wow. What an ablest and horrible thing to imply.

I mean, he's a pro athlete. His career- not his life - WOULD be over. What's 'ableist' about that?

Most athletes careers are over before 40.

Not golfers.

They’ve said he will not be charged.

They didn’t do a field test because of his injuries.

They should do a blood toxicology which would show drugs and/or alcohol if there.

But because he is Tiger, they did not do it.

The blood toxicology report was not done.

Honest question and would love to hear from ER staffers: wouldn’t a blood panel be done out of protocol prior to sedating someone pre-surgery who’s suffered traumatic injuries?

I know that although I’m a certain blood type that in an emergency I’m not going to be given a blood transfusion without a quick blood typing, correct? What if I were to arrive at the ER and seemed sleepy, for instance? Would any doctor think to check if I’m under the influence of something?

And perhaps blood tests are routine and there is no reason or a privacy violation to disclose absolutely every test TW was subjected to.

They often don’t check, unless the crash injured someone else. They should of course, but ER staff are very focused on the patient’s welfare&. They don’t necessarily want to create evidence that can be used against the person (say by their insurance company).

I disagree with this mind you. Everyone should be checked because it could be a wake up call so the person does not reach the point of killing someone. (Not casting aspersions here about TW, just discussing this topic in general)

The most notorious was the early morning after Thanksgiving in 2009 when his SUV ran over a fire hydrant and hit a tree. That was the start of shocking revelations that he had been cheating on his wife with multiple women.

In May 2017, Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of a car parked awkwardly on the side of the road. He was arrested on a DUI charge and said he had an unexpected reaction to prescription medicine for his back pain. Woods later pleaded guilty to reckless driving and checked into a clinic to get help with prescription medication and a sleep disorder.

He’s had serious prescription drug addictions,, often mixed with alcohol. I know many pros can go that route due to the pain. He’s had 4 back surgeries.

But in 2009 it was Vicodin and ambience.

I've had an absolutely shi* day so please forgive me for laughing at "ambience." I need to laugh right now.

+1 I know a few anesthesiologists and I would bet my house they insisted on the tests being run because no one wants to be the guy/gal who kills Tiger Woods because of an interaction with something already in his system.

PP who posed this question about testing and thanks!

Yes, I’d think it would be common sense and protocol to figure out what chemicals are already in your patient’s body
prior to giving them more meds.

Also I’m recalling from a traumatic event (sudden miscarriage) how thorough my anesthesiologist was concerning my (many) med and food allergies.

Yes but due to HIPAA (or is it HIPPA) they can’t share the info. Police would need a court order to get those records and they would need probable cause and a single car accident is not probable cause.

If he had hit/injured or killed someone they would have gotten a court order to get any toxicology/pre-op blood results. Since he only hurt himself--they most likely figured the horrific injuries are enough punishment.

This. If another car was involved, there would have been an investigation and certainly the family he killed would have demanded it.

I think he most likely was on pain meds like in the past, had to get up early and was groggy. He mixed a lot of them in the past and has been asleep at the wheel from that before—and arrested for it not too long ago. It’s also possible he was still high from the night prior.

His choice in women—always some restaurant hostess that likes to party. It doesn’t help an addict.

Of course the hospital ran a blood/toxicology test before putting him under for surgery.
Police not doing their own tests, or using the hospital test to inform their decisions on any charges, is outrageous.
