The only neurologist to testify that Terri is not in Persistent Vegetative State was the controversial neurologist hired by the Schindlers after the appellate court ordered a new trial on this case.
The Schindlers were asked to provide two neurologists or neurosurgeons, but they presented only one to the court. Their neurologist is published in peer-reviewed National Enquirer, and faced disciplinary proceedings in both Florida and California.
At any rate, as the Florida Second District of Appeals stated in June 2003:
Although the physicians are not in complete agreement concerning the extent of Mrs. Schiavo's brain damage, they all agree that the brain scans show extensive permanent damage to her brain. The only debate between the doctors is whether she has a small amount of isolated living tissue in her cerebral cortex or whether she has no living tissue in her cerebral cortex.All the other neurologists testified that Terri was in Persistent Vegetative State. Michael Schiavo provided two board-certified neurologists, and the trial court appointed Dr. Peter Bambakidis, a board-certified neurologist practicing in the Department of Neurology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio. He is a clinical professor of neurology at Case Western Reserve University.
Therefore, the consensus among the neurological experts is that Terri is PVS.
Why doesn't Michael Schiavo let the parents take care of her?
Why fight it? Why the fuss, I mean Michael didn't wait for the "...Death do us part"...bit. He's commiting adultery!
If he loved Terri, he would be there until the end. Nope, he left her!
You understand my point...
George...nobody here cares about the facts! I'm also convinced the majority of people here don't even know the whole background. They're latecomers who see this is a way of advancing their pro-life agenda. Common sense tell you that after 15 years the Dr.'s know the condition of this woman. Why doens't that common sense prevail here?
