Dr. William Maxfield, a Tampa radiologist, agreed that Terri is not in a persistent vegetative state, noting her ability to follow commands and her responsiveness, according to the AP. After comparing Terri's 1996 CAT scan to her 2002 scan, Maxfield also testified that Terri's brain tissue appeared more localized and uniform.

"It tells me that the brain tissue on the [2002] study has a more normal appearance," Maxfield testified, adding that hyperbaric oxygen therapy, similar to Hammesfahr's recommendation, could lead to improvement, the AP reported.

It is Shook's testimony, in your link, that chills me. She actually says that MS did not know what Terri's wishes would be.....this is just so amazing? Why isn't HER statement as valid as MS's-who stands to gain, while she does not? Both are hearsay!
