All this proves is that a Congressman wrote a letter.
Was the letter sent to the Nobel nomination committed?
Was the letter received by the Nobel nomination committee?
Was Dr. Hammesfahr's nomination accepted by the Nobel nomination committee?
Where is the letter from the Nobel nomination committee accepting Dr. Hammesfahr's nomination for the Nobel Prize in medicine?
Somehow, Dr. Hammesfahr failed to prove that his nomination was received and accepted by the Nobel nomination committee, after being given ample opportunities by Judge Greer:
A lot of the time also was spent regarding his nominations for a Nobel Prize. While he certainly is a self-promoter and should have had for the court's review a copy of the letter from the Nobel committee in Stockholm, Sweden, the truth of the matter is that he is probably the only person involved in these proceedings who had a United States Congressman recommend him for such an award. Whether the committee "accepted" the nomination, "received" the nomination or whatever, it is not that significant.What is significant, however, and what undemises his creditability is that he did not present to this court any evidence other than his generalized statements as to the efficacy of his therapy on brain damaged individuals like Terry Schiavo. He testified that he has treated about 50 patients in the same or worse condition than Terry Schiavo since 1994 but he offered no names, no case studies, no videos and no tests results to support his claim that he had success in all but one of them.
And of course we know that 'medical scientists' are all-knowing and all-powerful...
The term "Nobel Prize nominee" is relatively meaningless, since there are no meaningful enforced qualifications for nomination. Unlike, say, the Oscar® brand awards for motion pictures, where the "nomination" process pre-selects a small number of the best entries, the Nobel Prize "nomination" means nothing beyond the fact that somebody thought it worth entering the nominee into the competition.
I would expect that the Nobel Prize Committee probably does acknowledge nominations, but that such acknowledgement is probably nothing more than "Dear XXX: This is to confirm receipt of your submission regarding YYY and the Nobel Prize in Medicine" or somesuch.
I have no idea whether the congressman who nominated this doctor had good cause for doing so; what should be relevant is why this congressman thought the doctor worthy, rather than the fact that he was "nominated".
