Sorry, i'm pro-Terri, but there's something about this Hammesfahr character that leaves me suspicious. The bragging about being a "Nobel prize nominee," without any explanation of what that means. Did his wife send in a nomination - or is there some special board, with special criteria, that has the exclusive authority to do so (in which case, it WOULD be an honor to be a nominee). But there's no explanatio.
Also, the schools listed on his bio page I haven't heard of. And on Hannity he didn't seem to be able to communicate very authoritatively, if you ask me.
I'm glad Jeb was able to come up with a more impressive neurologist to argue that Terri may not be PVS.
It includes some details of his Nobel nomination, education and areas of expertise.
Like you though, I didn't think he was able to communicate very well, espeically for someone with impressive credentials.

I believe it was his congresscritter. The Nobel folks require that the nominee's home government do the nomination.

The story that occasionally surfaces in explanation is that it was an unexpected referral for the Nobel prize by someone unrelated to Dr. Hammesfahr. Only that one person submitted his name several years ago, and the nomination remained just a nomination. I read that Dr. Hammesfahr chooses to not draw attention to this past event.
