I just looked at Hammesfahr's credentials. He graduated from very creditable universities--VA Medical and Northwestern, did a fellowship in his specialty and is Board Certified. He was also one of two drs. who set up a program in FL to help the indigent get proper evaluation and involved 1000 volunteer drs. Also very active in Viet vets orgn (medically and Police Orgn.

So his Nobel nomination was by Congressman Billybob and not properly done. The man is qualified and he took a full afternoon
to evaluate Terri.

Greer, on the other hand went to Fl. Staate and Univ FL Law. he practiced real estate law and made friends with the rich and powerful, served as County Commissioner, ran for judge on huge war chest. He has consistently ignored FL law in judging the Schiavo case as when he acted as her guaridan ad litem and evaluated whether her interests were being served by Michael's claims she would not want to live which fell short of FL law requirements.

This is a bit like saying that if I issued you a knighthood, well, you're still a knight, it just wasn't quite properly done.

The fact is, ONLY royalty can give out knighthoods. Any knighthood I were to give you would be NO knighthood at all. The same if I were to issue you a PhD in astrophysics, or a license to practice brain surgery - regardless of whether you know something about the subject or not. I simply am NOT qualified to make you a knight, or a PhD, or to license you as a brain surgeon. I don't have the authority.

I'd like to believe he's a great neurologist. But his demonstrably FALSE claim to being a Nobel-Prize Nominee makes me doubt anything he says - as it should.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Actually, I suspect he's probably at least a halfway-competent neurologist, else he wouldn't still be in business. But that's a FAR cry from being a Nobel Prize Nominee.

Hey, you'll get no defense of Greer from me. None whatsoever.
