Wow, that's pretty crazy. You would think 1 week = 7 days.

Anyways, thanks for the response.

Technically 1 week can be 1 to 13 days... which is even worse logic... except in BB.

Actually, it is every bit of REALISTIC. I played BKB in my country league for a while, and if you also look at the NBA: there is nothing more volatile tan injury resolution times. When you thought you were starting next day, you had a set back, etc, etc.

On the game framework part, the legend for a player's injury always says "number of weeks"; this number is an integer, so, yes, it is logical to set 1 for 1 to 14 days. It would be really unrealistic and illogical to tell an integer lower tan 1 to describe something like an injury (if you can only put integers and the time frame is "weeks"). I think it would be pretty robotic and unreal to say "0,45 weeks injured"). Pointing to X number of days might be the solution, althouth the game flows with weeks.

And, on the other hand, you have reality. I had one time a sprained knee, and it was not fun to hear the physician explaining why he was moving further my playing days.

I am pretty sure its an estimate as well.
In my experience a doc has a certain chance to shave one day off the total injury time, which is the higher, the better the level of the doc is. This chance is calculated each day to the total injury time, so the time after the change from 2 to one week can still be 8 or 9 days if the computer estimated the doc should reduce the time to 7 and he did not.

It was told over and over again, that the level of the doc only matters in the moment the injury happens - has this been changed last year?

All I've ever read is that the level of the doctor matters ONLY to recovery time.

It matters on how long the recovery time will be, not so much once it's recovery time.

Exactly. Nothing to do with the CHANCE of the original injury occurring.
