Not that I care to post to anyone who was involved in that other thread (because of the vitriol), but you weren't involved at the time, so--I spoke of no documents. I just looked the matter up by doing a search. Anyone here could do that. If I had given sources, they would immediately have been discredited, such was the hysteria and lack of logic going on. If you are "coming at me" as those on the thread last night did, I have no interest in getting into such a fruitless and vicious snake pit of idiocy again. I hope you are not doing so. Do you know that people on that thread actually accused me of being some kind of insider in the case, just because I posted what I had read and because Strela I and were in favor of a Living Will? If you aren't aware of that, go back and read it. It is Out of Control. At one point they even ridiculed my dead mother, for pete's sake. I have never seen the likes of it on any web board at any time; it was beyond the realm of human decency.
If you would like to see for yourself what I saw, do a search. Go to news.google.com and search for "terri schiavo" "cerebral cortex". The reason I did the search was that on some previous search I had seen mention of the cerebral cortex's having been a major factor in Terri's condition.
I'm sure the facts will surface at some time in the future, in the NEJM or somewhere else, since this case is an important one. But as for now, people are so riled up that they can't separate fact from rumor--not here, not in the media, not anywhere. (This article, for instance, states that Terri was receiving therapy to the tune of $4000 a month at some point. It doesn't mention the duration. Other sources refute she had any. My last post was in response to someone who pointed that out.) The whole thing is a horrific situation, but no one helps anyone else by being so irrational and rude.
I hope you find what you are looking for.
