I can say from personal experience that they are excellent physicians, and that Dr. Joyce has incredible surgical skills. The trainer is paid by the Royals. Team doctors are typically not paid any substantial salary by the team, and they are not subject to any pressure from the team. In fact they usually pay ungodly malpractice Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-35844426482831548382009-07-03T11:25:35.563-05:002009-07-03T11:25:35.563-05:00JohnnyV
