I suppose you probably think all doctors who thought that Terri wasn't PVS are also quacks, huh?

On what basis would you make that supposition? Oh, that's right, no facts needed.

The word *quacks* is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too good for those who diagnosed Terri as PVS. There's no stinking way a person is PVS, who speaks words to their therapists within months of their injury.

IIRC, Dr Hammesfhar, recommended some sort of oxygenated therapy for Terri. I couldn't help but wonder if the same type of oxygen therapy, was the same thing that the miner in West Virginia received.

Everything possible should have been done for Terri and if Dr Hammesfhar thought the therapy might help her, then why did Schiavo/Felos/Greer prevent it? And why would others make fun of a doctor who only wanted to help her - then turn around and give a free pass to the ghouls, who would say anything for a buck? I know you think it's lunacy, just like I do, Ohioan.

I heard the audio tape of Terri speaking with her dear Dad. She responded to him. It was difficult for her to do so, which is understandable since she was DENIED speech therapy. Additionally, she was on a respirator for a period time. The scar was visible on her throat. It's my guess that her larynx was damaged.

My sister-in-law, who was brain damaged from an accident and was on a respirator, also had a damaged larynx from the tube of the respirator or the surgery to insert it. Therefore, when she began speaking her voice was strained and horse. Once my sis began speaking, she remember things from years prior to her injury.

As has been stated on the Terri threads many times by others - I've wondered if Terri would have spoken of hidden things, if she were only given the chance?
