Journal DesScorp's Journal: A doctor's blog on Terry Schiavo's brain... 7

This is a blog from a doctor that's examined the last CT taken of Terry's brain (1996!). He's got some harsh words for you "liquified brain" people out there. He also points out some possible evidence of PHYSICAL trauma to the brain. Like virtually all other doctors made aware of the fact, he's flabergasted that:

* The last exam of Terry's brain was 9 years ago

* That she's NEVER had an MRI or a PET scan, the medical standards for diagnosing PVS.

In his own words...

This Brain Is Not That Bad

Also, here's an actual shot of what is supposedly Terry's last CT.

I'm also trying to confirm something that's been announced on TV...the Michael Schiavo supposedly admitted tonight on a program that Terry never actually ASKED to be put to death in this kind of situation. I'll post a link as soon as I can find one.

I've also discovered two very good information resources in the fight to save this woman's life.

When you get to the link, especially look at Myths About Terri.

This is also damning; eminent physicians (especially neurologists) call the lack of due diligence in Terry's medical evaluations "Criminal". To quote:

"Almost 50 neurologists all say the same thing: Terri should be reevaluated, Terri should be reexamined, and there are grave doubts as to the accuracy of Terri's diagnosis of PVS."

These aren't backwoods general practictioners. They include neurology professors and specialists from Boston University, the University of Chicago, and Johns Hopkins.

The fight goes on. This is not a right to die case. It's a right to kill case.

        • I've given to just ignoring him. I think the best way to exemplify how uninformed and, generally moronic, HBI's opinions are is to simply ignore them.

          HBI's worldview is so insanely out in the farthest reaches of the cosmos these days that it's really not even worth the time it takes to refute it. His opinions, as he presents them, are quite sufficient to highlight him as the embarrasing boob that he is.

          In the rare event that he manages to actually regurgitate a point that has some sort of merit, and I dis

            Not only that, but on the numerous occasions where he's been smacked down he reacted with sniffing contempt rather than an honest and heartfelt appology.

            Sad, really.

    Sounds like more spin. Courts all heard his piece and the family's piece and they sided with him long before the parents blew this thing up into what it is now. If he admits that his testimony was wrong, he's setting himself up for perjury charges. If someone is just spinning this as "ooh, when he was in court he actually said..." it's irrelevant because the court's
  • DesScorp, thank you SO MUCH for posting this. It's very important. This whole thing is a media snowjob. They keep repeating lies over and over and seem incapable of giving us the facts.

    People keep calling this a "right to die" case. No, it's a right to live case. Or as you put it, the right to kill, for the other party.
