Then you should know that Wolfson urged that Terri should have another swallowing test. If I remember correcly, that was not done.

I believe you are correct that a fourth test was not done. If it was, I can't find mention of it.

In the GAL report Wolfson suggests among other ways "to create common ground" among the parties:

"The GAL will select competent, neutral, clinical specialists to make a formal determination about the feasibility and value of swallowing tests and therapy for Theresa."

So he suggested that specialists decide if another swallowing test was feasible and would be valuble. Anyone know what happened with this?

Well, maybe you aren't so bad after all. I was hoping that would be the case!

Yes. The judge who was in charge of that portion of the case, I believe it was David Demers, threw out that suggestion, because the GAL was appointed by Jeb after Terri's Law passed. He deemed it unnecessary. The same way Greer deemed any current brain scans of Terri before withdrawing the feeding tube. Unnecessary. Great jurisprudence right there.
