Andrews: “You aren’t responding to therapy like we’d hoped. Your strength tests aren’t what we wanted to see, and your range of motion remains compromised. It could be X (technical term), Y (new technical term), or Z (Latin with technical term). We just don’t know.”
Patient: “Yes…”
Andrews: “So we’re going in. We’ll look around in the front and back, clean up any fraying, and if there is anything more serious, we’ll fix that.”
Patient: “But…”
Andrews: “So I’ll see you at 6:00 am. Don’t eat or drink ANYTHING after midnight. The nurse will explain the rest.”

That’s the gist of it anyway. I gather that this week must be shoulder week at the Andrews Clinic. By the way, business is so good he’s opened a place in Pensacola to go along with his Alabama location.

As this relates to Johnson, they’ll test him first, but if they don’t like what they see, that conversation above will be repeated, but as he’s a world class athlete and not a college scholarship pitcher, I imagine he’ll get a few seconds more detail in the explanation. If Johnson is coming along, then Marlins fans will know it by the end of the day. Good luck to him.

Now about that shoulder…
