I'd call this a little more than damage. I told you, it's GONE. Absent. Not there. The majority of the cortex.
And if you spent the time I do reading the medical journals, especially the letters, you would see this as clearly as I do.
Well you didn't read the NEJM very well, or else you would have realized that Quinlan's autopsy showed that her problem came from the thalamus instead of the cortex.
You did say that, but you didn't say how you knew this to be true. I am still open to hearing more though.
And oh, I do know about the Quinlan autopsy.
