After over 10 years in the medical field, qualifications of a doctor would only be questioned when there is a case of this magnitude - otherwise, it is not the qualifications , rather simply the difference of opinion from one doctor to another.
This is why a second opinion is so often recommended when a diagnosis is made. What one sees and thinks may not be the case with another. This happens frequently among doctors in different practices, and is also as common among those working within the same office.
Therefore, it is not anything new to have doctors with varying opinions regarding Terri.
The bottom line? Facts and direct science in front of your eyes do not lie. If the brain was found to be intact and not mush - then that is fact. If she were swallowing saliva - then clearly her swallowing was not impaired. I now question whether a feeding tube was needed in the first place - or was it perhaps a first step in the plan of her demise?
I strongly urge the Schindler family to take this evidence, and find an Attorney. I also urge all FReepers who were so involved with Terri - by visits, protests, email, calls - whatever the case - to spread this message as far and wide as possible.
We now have reasonable doubt - and probable cause. I rest my case. JK
No, the appropriate comparison is not asking for a second opinion, it is going to Mexico or Central American for cancer treatment when your doctor and every other qualified doctor has said there is NOTHING else that can be done.

Read the autopsy report. The brain was NOT intact, it was NOT merely shrunken in size due to lack of food and water, chunks of it were missing and had been for more than ten years. There was more spinal fluid in her skull than brain.
If she were swallowing saliva - then clearly her swallowing was not impaired. I now question whether a feeding tube was needed in the first place - or was it perhaps a first step in the plan of her demise?
My mother had a feeding tube for more than five years before she died. She could swallow saliva but she couldnt swallow food. Swallowing saliva when your head is continuoulsy tilted back is no big deal.
