"Neurologists see little sign of activity in Schiavo's brain" - A more honest title could have read: Neurologists see little activity in Terri's NINE year-old brain scans. . .but that would might convery a more sceptical response from readers. . . "

The story continues "Although the scans are 9 years old, the doctors said there's little chance Schiavo's brain improved since then".

Have heard the lawyers say NO Chance. . .but the opposition-medical folks are a tad more careful. . .language more safely couched in descriptions that include. . .'almost . . .most likely. . .unlikely. . .'take a miracle'. . .

Of course, who would know if one is not happening if they have not taken a scan for nine years.

How is it; these medical people are content to diagnose and prognosticate from nine-year old records as they are called on to make a life or death judgment call. . . Why are they not at the least; professionally curious as to some possibility scenarios for Terri?

And HOW, do these Doctors. . .or the Courts; know, that these scans are in fact, of Terri's brain; and not someone elses.

Can those here; who go to Doctors of course. . .imagine seeing a new Doctor for a physical and carrying or faxing their almost ten year-old x-rays, for that Doctor to make a diagnosis; while insisting that updated views are not necessary. . .because you know. . .nothing has changed. . .most likely. . .
