In 1981 I got CAT scans and X rays because that's *all* that locally existed at the time.
My podunk rural hospital didn't even do any surgery to relieve the intra-cranial pressure from a massive buildup of post-trauma fluid...they couldn't because there weren't any surgeons capable of doing such "dangerous" surgery then.

Technology has advanced at a nearly miraculous rate and she should have the opportunity to make use of it.

Why can't HINO give her over to others for even a -year-, just to see what -can- be done, if he "loves" her so damn much?

The obvious, logical answer...he doesn't -want- her to get well.

Even i have had an MRI! This day and age, doctors order these tests as part of normal diagnostic tools. For a judge to make a conclusive decision without current testing such as MRIs and PET scans is beyond comprehension!
