>> As Dr. Bambakidis said, the rigidity in the neck, along with the rigidity of the other skeletal muscles, is typical of anoxic brain damage.

So he agreed with Dr. Hammesfahr, who said, "Spasticity generally is due to neurological injuries, and is aggravated by lack of physical therapy and muscle stretching."

The critical question is, what caused Terri's anoxic brain damage? We know that it is far more commonly caused in young women by auto accidents and intimate partner violence than by all other causes combined. Terri was not in an auto accident. Figure it out.

You can't use general statistics to diagnose individual cases. That you are trying to do that indicates you do not understand how medicine works for individual patients.
