Dr. Cranford was also interviewed on CNN. He actually said Terri's EEG was flat. This even surprised the doctor on CNN. He said that a flat EEG is how you determined if someone was dead for organ donation and anyone could see se wasn't brain damaged.



Sounds like this Michael doctor is really putting a spin on this. I have never heard of anyone having a flat EEG unless they are legally brain dead, which Terri is not because her other vital functions appear to be working ok, and have been for years.

Yes, the regular doctor on CNN was surprised that Dr. Cranford said it. Dr. Sanjay Gupta said that a flat EEG is how they determine if an organ transplant can be done.

I just replayed it. I have it on tape from the satellite:

About 3:30pm today Eastern time:

Dr. Cranford is not in the studio. The lady on CNN was called Kira, a reddish blond lady. I replayed the part with Dr. Cranford.

Dr. Ronald Cranford:
"Her EEG is flat, she doesn't show any electrical activity at all"

Can we get a transcript?

He makes bizarre statements like this and gets away with it.

Don't you love that picture of the brain scan that is so fuzzy and obscure that you can't even find the patient's name on it. I would have fired the tech that took it, it should have been destroyed and repeated. Many here think it's so definitive, even though it contradicts direct observations and assessments.

Also, people, you need to find what diagnosis are in your chart before some blind judge brands you for all time with an incorrect diagnosis that you continually have thrown in your face inspite of your displaying behaviors to the contrary.
