You knew that headline was coming.

You also knew Matz’ back pain was coming, after he complained of ‘stiffness’ earlier in the week. Duda and Wright (despite the radiologic diagnosis of spinal stenosis) had the same pattern.

Ibid. (Latin, short for ibidem, meaning “in the same place”) is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation or reference for a source that was cited in the preceding endnote or footnote:

At 24, Mr. Matz may not have the experience to effectively seek & filter health information in today’s crowded marketplace. Further, there’s a dynamic I’ve noticed where, in order for certain men to get themselves into effective care, some other person — sister, spouse, mother — needs to make the appointment. Agents? I don’t know about agents, but Mrs. Matz, Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Alderson, I hope you’ll reach out.
