I got Dr. Cheshire mixed up with Dr. Hammesfahr who did spend ten hours with Terri.
The dolphin doctor?
The one who claims he's a Nobel prize nominee when there is no such thing?
Dr. H is an alternative medicine doctor. He claims to have a Nobel nomination but can't provide documentation, even though the court asked him to bring it.
He's been asked to stop saying he's a Nobel nominee but he refuses to change his letterhead because "it's too expensive".
He claims to have helped lots of patients like Terri but under oath couldn't give the Court one name or any documentation to prove that.
He advertises in the National Enquirer. Insurance companies don't typically work with him so he accepts pretty much cash only.
Some freepers put great stock in the fact that he's attended some pretty important annual neurological meetings and given speeches.
I have a neighbor who ran a Physical Rehab Clinic in town. She left to start her own business of training RNs and physical therapists throughout the southeast.
She hires all sorts of people, including some alternative medicine people who are outside even the fringe of that group. I've asked her why and she has told me that the medical community is composed of all sorts of people, including the very fringe of alternative medicine and she wants them to have someone to listen to at these conferences as well.
Oh, and Dr. H is also listed on a web site that is run by doctors and deals with quacks in the medical community.
