Thanks Fair Opinion.. the CodeBlue article has been around a bit, is excellent, personally I tracked it down when I heard the media and court liars for hire and net pundits continually referencing Terri's cat scan as supposed proof of Terri having no brain function.

As an interesting correlative sidenote, some of the other experts have agreed, even on stations like CNN I caught about two (in addition to docs put on by Sean and other pro-Terri folks)

One I remember well. Dr. Sanjay Gupta from Atlanta was shown "normal brain" scan pic and "PVS brain" printed under the pic by the TV station (on Terri's scan). Sanjay objected vehemently, that that was an improper way to label the pic, somewhat shocking the media whore (ok.. talking head). It warmed my heart to see a doc with some integrity.

Dr Gupta has seemed genuine throughout this. Another example - a week or so ago he was on CNN with Daryn Kagan and they were discussing Cranford's claim that Terri's EEG was flat. Gupta looked clearly distressed and refuted him on air. He's the only reason I've turned CNN on at all these past few weeks (I normally don't watch CNN as a rule).

I have seen only one cut of the CT Scan. I do see substantially dialated ventricles and cortical atrophy, but I wonder why on earth Ms.Shiavo did not receive a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, to decompress the central nervous system and perhaps rescue remaining cortical areas. It seems once the hydrocephali developed it would have been prudent to decompress. I am not a neurosurgeon and would be interested if there are any Freeper neurosurgeons to comment on this.
