I'd love to review Terri's medical records from her initial ER visit and subsequent hospitalization, especially the blood lab work reports. Having worked in cardiac rehab in the past, I know that there are two key enzymes that appear in the blood after a heart attack. They are CPK (creatine phosphokinase) and Troponin. There are also subfractions of these two enzymes that help physicians definitively diagnose myocardial infarctions (MI or more commonly, heart attack). Elevated CPK levels could appear with severe muscle trauma alone, but the CPK-MB fractionate, if elevated, is highly suggestive of MI. The "Troponin I" on the other hand has 100% sensitivity to acute MI.

Dr. Hammesfahr, who examined her about a year ago, was emphatic that Terri's heart is healthy and that she has never had a heart attack.

Michael Schiavo sealed the records. I gather the bone scan came out only ten years later, and I believe some have never been released.
Nothing suspicious here, eh? Gah, this stinks.
