Is that what you call it when a doctor doesn't perform the necessary medical tests to determine his patient's faculties? You call someone like Ronald Cranford objective? Hey, I have some swampland I'd like to sell you!
Sadly, I suspect that Dr. Cheshire's hopes for her got the better of objective medical judgement.

In his defense, Terri Schiavo wouldn't be considered his patient. I don't think Cheshire was supposed to examine her, and he did acknowledge he hadn't in the report he wrote.
