Re: if you say Cheshire examined her and he said she follows objects, then he's either a liar, or totally incompetent.

" I didn't say that. I told you Cheshire was not permitted to examine her. It was your doc, Ronald Cranford, who said that, in the course of his exam. It was videotaped. So, was Cranford lying? Or incompetent?"

Somewhere in the posts above it looks like there was a claim that said Cheshire was given an hour, or 2 with Terri during the time she was taken off the tube. I saw the video cut from Cranford's exam. Cranford made an off the cuff comment during his exam, that was something like, "there see that, she does follow some." The cut was no good, because the full exam showed Terri was not responding and that's what Cranford's findings were. She was not responding to visual, or auditory stimuli. The full exam showed that what appeared to be a response, was merely coincidental. That's what Cranford testified to in court.

>> "there see that, she does follow some."

What Dr. Cranford said was: "You see that, don't you, huh? You do follow that a bit, don't you, huh?" "That's good!"

You didn't have to guess, I transcribed what he said in #195. I will pay the late Dr. Cranford the honor of taking him at his word, especially because his comments match the visual.

Now let's return to your assertion that Terri could not see and could not possibly track a balloon. If you are correct, Dr. Cranford is lying or a raving loony. Here we have a highly trained neurologist asking a blind woman to see. Couldn't he see that she was stone blind? Talk about incompetent!

Alternatively, maybe Terri wasn't blind and your theory to the contrary was the screw-up. Maybe the highly trained doctors who treated Terri as sighted during their hands-on examinations knew what they were doing. You aren't a doctor and weren't there anyway.
