I'm not certain what that statement was supposed to mean. But the neurologist and the ME who examined the brain found so much destruction of the occipital lobes that they could diagnose cortical blindness. That means that the eyes themselves are normal, but the brain does not process the information. That is why the doctors who examined her did not realize she was blind.
I saw that thread. It's even got a bash Bush troll on it.
Yep. That's all that was required for MS
to do per the court order.
But that's a bad thing according to some.
Yep, again.
If the parents had been
notified of the internment,
to be sure..MSM cameras would
have been everywhere, again,
making Terri a spectacle.
Good to hear. When I came across what Ann Coulter said and passed it on, it has gotten a few chuckles. Unfortunately, with Greer's blindness, he has had misfortune in his life. And I feel he made a very bad decision with what he did to Terri Schiavo, her parents and her brother and sister.
There is a link in post #144 concerning the doctor's misadventures with a dissatisfied patient named M.T. This went to court. You say that, per Greer's court, "not one" was helped. That was decidedly not the case in this other court's findings.
In the linked case, the administrative law judge found, "There is evidence that in over 200 patients seen by Hammesfahr that a large percentage improved after being treated by Hammesfahr." (Items 56 and 57, which give the details of the testing by a Dr. Gimon.)
Items 58 and 59 report the details of another impressive finding: "Diane Hartley tested two groups of Hammesfahr's patients who were treated at his clinic... Of the 242 patients tested by Ms. Hartley, 221 patients demonstrated improvement in one or more of the areas tested and 21 showed no improvement."
#60 states: "The evidence establishes that Hammesfahr informed his patients by the use of videos, orientation sessions, literature and a web site on the Internet of the nature of the therapy and did not guarantee that the patients would improve as a result of the treatment. Patients were able to make an informed decision on whether to try the treatment."
The judge found against Dr. Hammesfahr on some point of the Florida statutes that I do not understand, but I think it had to do with advertising rather than medicine. But the same document credits Dr. Hammesfahr with something like a 90% treatment success rate.
I wonder how many of the Terri "supporters" will be scouring the cemetary trying to find her grave site.
Um, those patients did not have PVS. I mis-stated when I said he never successfully treated anyone and corrected myself in a later post.
Dr. H claimed he could help patients who were PVS. But when asked in court to provide documentations, names, etc., redacted of course to protect confidentiality, he could not do so.
Yes, I am. I only mention ones that might be libel.
They will only have to see the crowd in the cemetery
& follow them!
I wonder how Greer (who is legally blind) felt after hearing that Terri was also blind. Kindred souls. Ha! The media used the blindness as just another reason to bump her off. I wonder how Greer felt about Terri's blindness.
MS has fulfilled
that court order.
I'm glad Michael Schiavo didn't dump her in Pennsylvania. Wonder why he changed his mind? (Duh.)
So kind of the man. A real gent.
If you read the court documents you will find that this is Michaels version of what transpired. The Schindlers version is completely different. They say the "fight" started because they asked Michael when he was going to start using the settlement money on Terri's rehabilitation.
Micheal's trophy. For victory over the Schlinders and that anchor-weight of a daughter he was handcuffed to.
You're fooling yourself.
I am glad to find an area of agreement with you, Dave. Nope, he can't cure one single person he doesn't treat.
Pity he wasn't given a chance to go 0-for-1 or 1-for-1 with Terri. Nobody can say it wouldn't have worked.
More importantly what happened to the $700,000 that was supposed to go to treat her?
