Dr. Ronald Cranford, who has diagnosed Terri Schiavo as PVS. Dr. Cranford also diagnosed Robert Wendland as PVS, and recommended pulling his feeding tube.
Despite the fact that Robert Wendland could scoot around unaided in a motorized wheelchair, bowl a 175, as well as a bunch of other stuff.
Dr. Cranford described him as a "trained animal", and said he should have his feeding tube yanked so his wife could move on.
I wish someone in the media would confront Dr. Cranford with the Wendland case when he's saying he's 105% sure that Terri is PVS.
Last night OReilly interviewed a reporter for Time Magazine.
The reporter made it VERY clear that one of the MD's who examined Terri (a fellow from Cleveland, but not named Cranford) is a 'member of a group of neurologists which has been EXPANDING THE DEFINITION OF PVS' over the last several years. Their expanded definition was used by GrimGreer to execute Terri, according to the reporter.
While Cranford may be far more "expansive" than some others, it's very significant to note what these neurologists are doing.
ping!
What?? An animal?? OMG. I'm beyond words. There is no shortage of these freaks posing as doctors who want to euthanize all but the most perfect among us as decided by them, Nazi-style, to the praise, no less, of others.
Herr doctor was a board member of the Hemlock Society, wasn't he?
He made another mistaken diagnosis of PVS:
You may want to consult Sgt. David Mack about Dr Cranford. "Mack was shot in the line of duty as a policeman, and Cranford diagnosed him as "definitely...in a persistent vegetative state...never [to] regain cognitive, sapient functioning...never [to] be aware of his condition." Twenty months after the shooting Mack woke up, and eventually regained nearly all his mental ability. When asked by a reporter how he felt, he spelled out on his letterboard, "Speechless!"
