OK. Then please provide the names of those two doctors.
Had an MRI been recommended, I would be surprised if they would not authorize it.
I read that Terri still has the metal probes that were used during the experimental treatment in California, implanted in her skull. Other posters explained that if she cannot have an MRI unless those are removed.
Another 'convenience' for Michael and the Judge and Felos.
They have had 5 years that they could have had those probes removed (assuming removing them would not cause further damage, and I have no info the veracity of that either way).
So, we have the MEDIA and DOCTORS, JUDGE,FELOS stating TERRI has had a recent, new and improved MRI, and we have those same set of doctors stating Terri can't have an MRI because she has metal probes in her skull.
That should tell you something, my dear.
You wanted the names of Terri's parents two doctors who examined her:
In 2002, they ran every other test - EEGs, CT scans, labs, etc., and 5 docs examined them and her to confirm what all her previous docs and therapists said - that she was both in PVS and that no current therapy could help her.
2 docs appointed by her husband, 2 by her parents, a court-appointed, and her regular doc testified.
Only the 2 doctors of her parents said she isn't PVS:
1) Dr Hammesfahr
- an alternative medicine neurologist
- He's the one who made the 4 hour video exam we see 4 minute snippets of
- who said she wasn't pvs even *before* seeing her that one, and only, time
- who has made the most outrageous, clintonesque-worded statements imaginable to get everyone in a tizzy (like the heart attack thing)
- who's been asked by the congressman who wrote the Nobel letter to stop using it to claim he is a "Nobel Prize Nominee"
- whose testimony under oath was night and day from the outlandish claims he spouts in interviews and his "report"
2) Maxwell (an elderly radiologist): Their other doctor - On the stand, he couldn't tell the difference between coma and PVS, or give the descriptions of them - he just said she wasn't.
He was there only to say he thought hyperbaric treatment (never used in a case like this before) could help, and that he thought there was improvement in her brain density on the scans. But it was clear there wasn't - just newer, clearer resolution and less grainy because the old image was "blown up" in size.
Those were the best 2 doctors they could find. The neurologist they had at first, backed out of saying under oath what he said to them without seeing her. So, Greer and the 2DCA on appeal (having reviewed all the evidence - video, med records, etc, themselves!) said she was PVS and there was no hope.
