"Clearly, you do not have experience in medical care."

As you have none in the Terri Schiavo case. But others did, and I'm relying on their testimony.

"Further, you do not agree with Wolfson's report."

I agree with the conclusion. To wit:

" The GAL concludes from the medical records and consultations with medical experts that the scope and weight of the medical information within the file concerning Theresa Schiavo consists of competent, well documented information that she is in a persistent vegetative state with no likelihood of improvement, and that the neurological and speech pathology evidence in the file support the contention that she cannot take oral nutrition or hydration and cannot consciously interact with her environment."

"What outcome did you fear from attempts to provide oral hydration to Mrs. Schiavo?"

Death by drowning. What did you believe would be accomplished?

So, you skipped the recommendations and stopped reading. The GAL recommended additional neurologic and swallow testing page 37.

If we only accept original, historical claims throughout the ages, you would still believe the earth is flat. I suppose you prefer that medicine is stuck in a time warp from 12 years ago too. Be sure to put that in your living will. Only use resources and data that are at least a dozen years old.
