"You just aren't willing to acknowledge the truth"

What is the truth? Is it possible to judge PVS patients from CT scans?

Michael will not allow a test that will show Terris brain activity. Guess there's something he'd rather people not know, aye?

Dr. Ronald Cranfords diagnosis has been disputed by Dr. William Hammesfahr, who said, "I spent about 10 hours across about three months and the woman is very aware of her surroundings. She's very aware. She's alert. She's not in a coma. She's not in PVS."

Hammesfahr added, "With proper therapy, she will have a tremendous improvement. I think, personally, that she'll be able to walk, eventually, and she will be able to use at least one of her arms."

Yes, actually it is. Giving Terri a PET scan would be a complete waste or resources. The PET scan is helpful to narrow down specific areas of damage in the cerebral cortex....but when the cerebral cortex is gone, it's pointless.
