Thanks.

Just a couple of comments and questions:

You wondered about the blood transfusions. On page six of the nine page Humana Hospital Release it mentions this in the top paragraph, direct quote ( full paragraph ):

" EEG's and CAT scans were repeated several times to see development of any new [this next word, the only one that seems to have been either tampered with -looks like white out, to me-I cannot decipher it but will type what it looks like with a question marke where it appears one capitalized letter is missing]?NS [ CNS-? ] pathology. She also required blood transfusions. "

Also----I can understand the picking up of bronchial or lung infections in a hospital setting, especially as a ventilator was used on her for awhile. I guess I was reading it incorrectly, upon review...she did not present this immediate.

But she did present the vaginal problem..and was being treated for it by her own gyn before her so called collapse. Since a gyn consult was called in once she was stabilized, and placed in intensive care (out of the emergency room), I suspect the Flagyl was used to eliminate the vaginal problem...along with the eetadine douce...and I still wonder if she had an STD.

Because michael is a known hothead...and if terri did receive it from him (versus her contacting it from someone), and she approached the monster about it...this could have been a very heated problem, coupled with her 80 dollar hair due which is, according to her co worker, why she was going to pretend to be asleep that night she collapsed...asleep before ms got home.

Also---in the [ direct quotes to follow from Laboratory Data, page three of Humana Hospital release form ]" Initial laboratory data revealed.....EKG showed sinus tachycardia and on-specific ST-T changes. CAT scan of the brain that was done was NEGATIVE for any acute event. "

Meaning...her CAT SCAN showed no trauma ?

I do not understand this!

>> Meaning...her CAT SCAN showed no trauma ?

Two of them were negative, on 2/25 and 2/27. Code Blue Blog discussed this at length, with Doc CBB concluding that the head trauma, whatever it was, necessarily occurred after she got to the hospital. Another CT, ?March 30?, turned sharply abnormal. Clearly we have another mystery! (My comments from memory so don't hold me to the exact dates. Read the doc's own account.)

This by no means rules out other trauma at the time of Terri's "incident" 2/25.

Re" Blood transfusions. The feeding tube is inserted "through the body cavity" and she had problems with it. No doubt during the insertion she required additional blood is my take on it. Note the second line after the top of the page referring to the "problems".

Without getting to graphic, I wouldn't put too much stock in the "private parts" problems. It's a warm moist area a conducive to breeding all kinds of critters. It could have been a yeast infection complicated by other critters. Regardless, it sounds like the hospital took "extended measures" to eliminate further complications to her already weakened system. Just a guess.

Yes, by lack of acute "event" I think they're referring to evidence she was not whacked on the head.

"A head injury is any trauma that leads to injury of the scalp, skull, or brain. These injuries can range from a minor bump on the skull to a devastating brain injury.

Head injury can be classified as either closed or penetrating. In a closed head injury, the head sustains a blunt force by striking against an object. A concussion is a type of closed head injury that involves the brain.

In a penetrating head injury, an object breaks through the skull and enters the brain. (This object is usually moving at a high speed like a windshield or another part of a motor vehicle.)

I find the exercise of dissecting what was said fascinating as I suppose you do too? I'm just waiting for some Dr. to come along and tell us we're both clueless. LOL
