Interesting contrast below Pitt will salute Dr. Fu on how he Protected Pitt Players in College and helped them get back to being healthy.
Compare that to another yet Franklin keeping his another Player on the field that was badly limping in the OSU Game, in OSU Game, Penn State TE Gesicki was limping badly, and like Franklin did to Hackenberg the last few years and few more PSU Players, kept him playing.
I think it was brave of Gesicki playing and catching key passes but it that is what kills careers if playing hurt and another reason why Franklin is not great fit fro Penn State why fro Players Fate at PSU. Why the Smart Recruits choose Pitt and Dr. Fu has made PITT IS IT!
Excerpt:
When young Freddie Fu arrived in the U.S. from Hong Kong in 1969 to attend Dartmouth, his car radio often was tuned to the pop station in Hanover, N.H. Among the songs repeatedly played in those days was Neil Diamond's “Sweet Caroline.” Fu, 65, will know he has completed the circle of life Thursday night when, 47 years later, he will join the Panther Pit student section at Heinz Field in singing “Sweet Caroline,” a treasured ritual at Pitt games between the third and fourth quarters “I better learn the lyrics,” he said................“He's like the guru,” coach Pat Narduzzi said. “Anytime we have a question about somebody, we are able to bounce things off him. He's one of the best in the world. I don't even think I'd say in the U.S.” Fu, a summa cum laude graduate of Dartmouth with a medical degree from Pitt, has been honored in Europe, Japan and throughout North America for his research and surgical techniques in treating sports-related injuries, especially tears to the anterior cruciate ligament.............He launched the UPMC Sports Medicine program at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, attending every production so he could treat onstage injuries. Among his lasting achievements is helping design the $80 million UPMC Rooney Sports Complex that houses training facilities for the Steelers and Pitt. He has been chairman of the department of orthopaedic surgery at the Pitt School of Medicine and UPMC since 1997...............Fu once refused to clear Pitt running back Curtis Martin to return to the lineup after he severely sprained an ankle in the second game of the 1994 season.......“All the newspapers thought he should play,” said Fu, pointing out coach Johnny Majors never pressured him. Martin missed the rest of the season but entered the next draft and played 11 seasons in the NFL. When Martin was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012, he invited Fu to the ceremony as his guest. “I don't know of many doctors who are invited to the Hall of Fame,” Fu said, proudly. “I protected him.”
