The Schindlers' doctors can deny the scans show what Cranford claims. I haven't read anything from them adressing the scans, the damage they show according Cranford, and the implications for rehab, with the possible exception of Maxfield:
While Schiavo's doctors and the court-appointed doctor see no improvement in the cat scans of Terri's brain from 1996 to 2002, William Maxfield, a Tampa radiologist petitioned by the Schindlers, testified Terri has shown improvements in brain tissue and would benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a treatment that increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain.

Perhaps Maxfield has seen the brain scans, or perhaps he just infers "improvements in brain tissue". And "brain tissue" doesn't match the specificity of Cranford's description.
I'd sure like to interrogate them side by side, point and counterpoint. Neither side has challenged the other to a debate.
It highlights his bent. He was a pioneer in such deaths.
