I've never heard before that Terri showed flat brain waves on an EEG.
Can this be confirmed anywhere?

I was under the impression that only brain dead patients show flat EEGs.

As Terri breathes, maintains vital organ functions, moves, opens her eyes (etc..) and has maintained her reflexes - she cannot be brain dead.

I may be wrong - but something is telling me this doctor is fibbing about the EEG.

"I've never heard before that Terri showed flat brain waves on an EEG."

I read that somewhere, but in reading it went on to say something about Terri being real aggitated while taking it so they (don't remember who they were) felt it was reading falsely.
