Dr. Ron Cranford, a Minneapolis neurologist who was Bernat's predecessor on the academy ethics committee, examined Schiavo as part of the original trial and testified in favor of her husband's request to discontinue feeding. He was adamant that she would never get better, and he says he is furious about the popular videotape.

Why would Dr Ron be furious about the popular video tape? Could it be that the tape shows the world that his prognosis is invalid?

"Why would Dr Ron be furious about the popular video tape? Could it be that the tape shows the world that his prognosis is invalid?"

My impression of this alopathic kook is that he is infatuated with killing those who are defenseless and the tape revealed how incompetent he is in giving out his OPINION.

The answer to your question is obvious to any objective person - and it's not the answere that you just speculated.

A doctor would say eating sand is healthy if paid enough.

My wife had a stroke 5 years ago our inept nuerologist, the most unprofessional doctor I have ever met, told our family that my wife would never dress herself again due to the damage she thought my wife sustained from the stroke. Not only did my wife make a full 100% recovery, in many respects she's even healthier. Mind you this idiot doctor was considered the best in the city in her field, despite the fact that her prognosis/prediction was 100% wrong.

It could be because the tape is deluding so many well wishing people. They are projecting onto the tape what they want to see. They are reading meaning into things that are random events. The doctor tells terry to do something and 30 seconds later she does, whoppee!! She lives. Would you have said that if the response came 60 seconds later? Two minutes? Five minutes? How long before you would no longer make a cause and effect connection?
