Top Neurologist's Report on Terri Released: (snip)
http://www.newsmax.com



"Spinal Exam: The patient's exam from a spinal perspective is abnormal. The degree of limitation of range of motion, and of spasms in her neck, is consistent with a neck injury. The abnormal sensory exam, that shows evidence of her hypoxic encephalopathic strokes (right side sensory responses are different from left) also suggests a spinal cord injury at around the level of C4. Her physical exam and videotapes also suggest a spinal cord injury is also present, as she has much better control over he face, head, and neck, than over her arms and legs. This reminds one of a person with a spinal cord injury who has good facial control, but poor use of arms and legs. It is possible that a correctable spinal abnormality such as a herniated disk may be found that could be treated and result in better neurological functioning. This should be looked for, as may be treatable. Thus, there may be an injured disk or spinal cord; the disk injury is more treatable, the spinal cord injury, if present without a disk injury, may be more difficult to treat. A person with a spinal cord injury and hypoxic encephalopathy will need different treatment and rehab recommendations than one who just has a hypoxic encephalopathic.

Interestingly, I have seen this pattern of mixed brain (cerebral) and spinal cord findings in a patient once before, a patient who was asphyxiated."

TERRI HAD A SPINAL INJURY. WE WANT TO KNOW IT HAPPENED.

I just find it terribly suspicious that this woman supposedly had a heart attack from Bolemia. I have not heard anywhere that she was ever treated for Bolemia, heart problems before or since her collapse. Seems her heart held up pretty fine.

I would hate to be in Michael Schiavos world. Of course with the mainstream press off of his back this slithering snake can go back to his hole.

I did a google search last night and man the stuff it lead me to. Of course, you have to take most things with a grain of salt. But, this man had weaved his tentacles into some very interesting directions.
