"Now, it's not about EEGs vrs CAT/PET scans"

See, here is the problem, you purport to be degreed in the appropriate fields but have completely dodged the question I put to you because, I assume, it doesn't fit your hypothesis.

Lets go back to the original question, what would a flat-lined EEG tell you if it was the only test available, and in this case was the only test of that sort done to my knowledge?

Since you now say you refuse to believe the results I assume the actual reported results contradict your assertion completely.

And another question, since I have an expert like you at my disposal. What test is used to determine brain death in other patients on life support? Is it the EEG that you now disparage in the Schiavo case?

See, here is the problem, you purport to be degreed in the appropriate fields but have completely dodged the question I put to you because, I assume, it doesn't fit your hypothesis.

Look, I defy you to go and read the following facts, laid out in a spreadsheet, and reach a conclusion that ANYTHING being said by Michael Schiavo's side is truthfuul.

Here;s the link:

What's going on is that there is now an unholy alliance between Michael Schiavo's obvious homicidal motive, on the one hand, and certain players (i.e., Dr Harrison) in the medical field that see the case as a platform to espouse and project their own ideas of managing Terri's demise.

It is Harrison (see the testimony in the link) who makes the read of the EEG -- and I just don't believe him, and moreover the video that I can see with my own eyes contradicts him, and the testimony of many other specialists as well.

PET scanning was in its infancy at that time period (early 90's) so it may not have been considered, and since the early 90's Michael Schiavo has been determined that NO tests, NO rehab, NO attempt to treat infections, be the rule.
