So the MDs and neuroscientists lied on the stand? And the coroners?........freedumb2003
The topic under discussion is comparing CT slice levels that are normally drastically different from each other and then saying, "Aha!! See the difference!"
As I said, "Schiavo may have had other issues that would have made her a lost cause ....."
However, to use those two CT images at different anatomical levels as comparison is total Bravo Sierra on the part of the news media.
Is there are reason you are a radiologist and not an MD? No offense, but is there some chance the MDs and PhDs might have some information you don't? Or do you know more than them and decided to just stop?
Ummmm...... I believe you may have "Radiologists" confused with "Radiographers".
Radiographers are not M.D.'s. They take radiographic images but do not interpret them.
Radiologists ARE M.D.'s and it is our specialty to interpret CT's and other imaging modalities. Our specialty entails five years of specialty training beyond medical school and internship. The level of our expertise is such that we are among the highest paid M.D.'s.
Thank you for all the info you've posted on this thread. Very interesting.
Life is so different with FreeRepublic. Thanks for exposing this media lie.
I would be quite sure that the comparison of non-comparable brain scans was an MSM attempt to be "fake but accurate". Once the media had decided whether Terri should live or die, it was essential to justify that decision to the public.
I.e. you're a rich doctor, rather than a witch doctor.
Having been through something like this before in my own life, I watched the dynamics of the family and other forces in the drama. I imagine you would agree that the physical diagnosis you have discussed here was only a part of what we saw. Different people react to the information in different ways and have their own ideas about what they should do. Fortunately, I did not have to factor in the government. The court, the judge, the outside ethicists must leave the doc feeling like an outsider looking in sometimes.
310K a year -- not bad!
I stand corrected.
I guess we need another radiologist to regard your work. At least I didn't debate your conclusion (/wimp out)
But all the testimony I saw said that her brain was pretty much non-existent -- I would have to go back and look at the rest of the testimony and evidence to see when and where your brain shots were taken and why they came to a different conclusion.
Not bad :')
