How exactly has the Dr. been discredited?
Won't be lone before they won't treat smokers or alcholics.
Hey, that's not fair - Teddy Kennedy just offered to take Terri for a ride ...
If it's an overwhelming consensus, then produce some links please.
thanks! I'm so humbled by this case, I can't tell you how sick it makes me how government pursues by the book because of hearsay. That's what Michael Schiavo's only argument is - hearsay. And we're willing to let a woman starve over hearsay.
What's happening to our culture?
Whether or not he "remembered" Terri making a statement about what she wanted in this type of situation is clearly not why he is carrying out his actions now. A real, loving man would have acted much differently. He was entitled, after years of the reality of her situation was obvious, to make a new life for himself. He should have divorced Terri when he became involved with another woman. I do not fault him for that desire. I do fault him for not simply deciding that he had tried all that he felt he could/should and realize that it was time to move on. By saying that he did his best, and placing Terri in the hands of her parents to decide her future, he would have not only been more manly, but also more loving toward her.
If he truly loved this new woman, and their children, he would not subject them to such chaos either. He has no love for any woman. His agenda is self-centered and uncompassionate.
Do you have links to any of this info? I am not disputing your claim, I just want to see it. I truly hope you're right.
Anyway, here's the story regarding Hammesfahr. He was thoroughly investigated by the Florida State Dept of Health after neurologists in Florida filed a complaint against him. The basis of their complaint was that Dr. Hammesfahr claimed his treatments could improve stroke patients whose injuries had been diagnosed as permanent. The complaining neurologists stated that this couldn't be true, so Dr. Hammesfahr must be a fraud. After hearing and reviewing all the evidence, the administrative law judge appointed to the case concluded that Dr. Hammesfahr's therapy did in fact successfully restore previously permanent deficits caused by a stroke. It's interesting how some people will want us to believe everything Judge Greer decides, but will not want us to believe what Judge Kirkland decided about Dr. Hammesfahr.
Medicare also spent 4 years investigating Dr. Hammesfahr. They determined that most of the patients Dr. Hammesfahr treated for previously diagnosed permanent neurological damages did improve with his techniques.
I guess the choice is whether to believe Medicare and the Florida State Dept of Health.
he wasn't discredited, but Felos and the Tampa area death-society found him too powerful a witness and launched a smear campaign.
The doctor was completely exhonorated(sp?)
He's a monster. Have you ever seen him? Sociopathic monster.
Here's one: http://www.casewatch.org/civil/schiavo.shtml
That would require some intelligence - or at least some semblance of morality. But, just like the eugenicists in fascist Germany, I'm sure they've told themselves that death is generally in the best interest of the "inferior" or those who are a "drain on society."
I am afraid Terri is not going to make it this time; what a terrible way to die.
IMO, the issue lies more with George Felos/hospice where Terri is being kept. It seems, at least to me, that there's some heavy duty fraud that's been going on.

Medicaid, Medicare Fraud Evident In Schiavo Hospice Certification
Ping!
"What is truth?" I've heard that spoken before ... Ponitous Pilate as he washed his hands of the matter.
BTTT
What is really interesting is how Judge Greer dismisses any evidence contrary to his a priori notion that Terri Schiavo expressed informed consent to have food and water removed from her diet.
I've seen no such overwhelming consenous. I believe the judge ignored him and one other who reported that she could make progress. Three others disagreeded with them. This makes him a quack? As for being an "expert" doesn't he work with people in her condition for a living? Does this make him a novice? There have been numerous reports of progress by Terri Schivo, other than this guys opinion, from nurses and staff at her numerous nursing homes. Are they quacks, as they clearly disagree with the other 3 doctors? They work day in and day out with severely disabled people. Are they also novices?
No history being taught. And CERTAINLY nothing about how Mengele's research and tactics were folded into American medicine.
