BS Both of these doctors were appointed by the court to review Terri's case. They examined her and the records. No such "strangulation" findings were reported to the court.

1. Dr. Hammesfahr, of HAMMESFAHR NEUROLOGICAL INSTITUTE. http://www.hni-online.com/ emphatically stated that the neck spinal injury this patient incurred was by Strangulation. Schiavo's attorney avoided challenging Dr. Hammesfahr's strangulation statement. Proof of those statements below - video of the Dr saying it, along with saying that with therapy, her condition can improve. http://www.floridaneurologicalinstitute.com/schiavo_channel10_may7,8,2001.htm Debi, there are 5 video and audio clips. They total more than 20 MB's so they wouldn't be practical to email. All are available at the address above.
I listened to and watched all the audio and video at that Channel 10 link. There is no information about Dr. Hammesfahr stating anything about "Strangulation."
