That's a good point.

But I do think that since her 4 guardian ad litems have all said she is PVS, even the guy who does not believe in ever removing life saving equipment of any kind including feeding tubes, that we can rest assured she is. Unfortunately.

Her parents also admitted under oath they know she's PVS. All her doctors who treated her for the first 3 years and her therapists.

Neither the guardians ad litem nor the Schindlers are qualified to make the diagnosis of PVS. They believe what they're told until they consider other options. The Schindlers did, the guardians ad litem did not. Neither an MRI nor a PET (especially!) was ever done, and the PVS diagnosis is severely flawed by its dependence on a 45 minute consult and only a CT.

Her guardians are not neurologists. And her parents simply believed what they were told by docs.

She feels pain, why do they give her pain meds for cramps. She responds to her mother with a smile. She is said to have uttered words prior to her neglect. There were 2 out of 5 docs who disagreed with the original diagnosis and 40 % of the time the diagnosis is unreliable. There is poor interrater reliability of the diagnosis, reasonable docs disagree. That is poor grounds for saying that she is a dead woman.

Look at her, no way can you say that woman is dead. And that is after 10 years of neglect, being in a room with no stimuli, no therapy, no love. Gee, I would be in the same shape.

MS is a psychopath who has intimidated all around him. Her best interests are not the same as his.

The one GAL said that Michael Schiavo should NOT be her guardian, he had financial tangles that made him unfit to do this. He was removed from the case, by Greer, and Greer took the job over.

Her parents also admitted under oath they know she's PVS. All her doctors who treated her for the first 3 years and her therapists.

This from an article a couple of days ago in the Billings Gazette:

*********
Several studies have documented high rates of misdiagnosis. In one 1996 British Medical Journal report, 43 percent of patients admitted to a London hospital brain-injury unit were found to have been wrongly classified as being in a vegetative state. Other accounts have put misdiagnosis rates at about 18 percent.

Very recent research using Functional MRI has revealed that brain function in Minimally Conscious (the state that this new doctor thinks Terri is in) patients is surprisingly better than what conventional wisdom has held. Studies showed that minimally conscious patients show the same brain reaction to voices of loved ones talking about fond memories as the brains of people with healthy brains. If you want I can link to several of these, including a very recent article published in the very respected Neurology journal.

That's a good point.
