3/5/91 was the date of her "cardiac arrest"...3/5/91 was the date of the bone scan...hmmm.

Then you could argue that she might have sustained trauma.

The husband however could argue that the rib fractures were sustained from CPR, and the leg fracture from when she fell and he would ignore the back fracture, which is not a common one from beatings...he would claim she had osteoporosis from being bulemic, and that is why they saw these fractures.

A good lawyer would get a forensic pathologist to interpret the scans to see if they were consistent with a beating or trauma.

If the scans were done shortly after she was admitted to rehab, it makes one think she can't be "PVS" or vegetative.

Usually you do these scans because you have a patients (usually in a nursing home) showing a lot of pain, and you do the scan to see what's broken...but if she showed pain, she's not a "vegetable"...

Dr. Michael Baden, a reknowned forensic pathologist, said on Greta Van Susteran's show that it was consistent with some sort of trauma, one being a car accident that Terri was never in. He said it should have been investigated at the time of the scan, but alas, it wasn't.

FWIW, Terri "collapsed" in Feb. 1990. This bone scan was done 13 months after her collapse.

BINGO! Terri had these scans done because she moaned in pain when they did physical therapy on her that first year. They confirmed that she had broken bones, and, thus, she was responding. Voila! Terri's not PVS!

Maybe there could be a lawsuit filed against Mediplex for not determining that she was PVS when in their care (am I saying that right?)...because their treatment of her shows that she wasn't PVS during her stay with them. Maybe those doctors could be brought into this somehow...sort of a back door kind of method against Schiavo and Felos.

I know ribs can be broken during CPR, but do we know that CPR was performed? I've heard that Terri never actually had the heart attack that MS claimed she had. If she didn't have a heart attack, would the EMTs still pound on her chest to get her heart beating?
