You're welcome, Lurker. My pleasure. Felos said something about this on LKL last evening. The two docs were sued (OB/GYN and regular doc) because they never did blood work to see why Terri wasn't getting pregnant. Their theory, and I stress THEORY, is that the potassium deficiency existed prior to her collapse and if blood tests were done by either of those docs, it would have been detected and her collapse prevented. It's a nice theory and they were lucky that they had a sympathetic jury. Neither, however, establish that the potassium deficiency existed prior to her collapse.
