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.

FYI,It is not common practice to do blood work when women are having trouble getting pregnant. I went through four years of Specailists and infertitliy docs. Not one drew blood until I was pregnant. I know many women who go through infertitly tests , no one has had blood taken to find the root cause of not getting preganant. I have often questioned why the docs didn't fight that.

Neither did they establish that the potassium deficiency caused her to have a heart attack, especially since there was NO evidence of a heart attack!
