It was an interesting article, but I can't see how it applies to Terri's case. Nobody has suggested she suffered ventricular fibrillation. Besides, VF "creates global tissue ischemia" where Terri suffered only anoxic brain damage. How could VF cause brain damage without harming her other organs? In Terri's case, Humana ruled out a heart attack right away, and the ME said Terri's heart, fifteen years later, was still healthy.

Doesn't make any sense ot me, but pursue it if you wish and keep me posted.

Mind your manners, please.

Nobody has suggested she suffered ventricular fibrillation.

From the ME's final report, page 3{or page 30 as you scan}: "She had also received epinephrine, and had suffered a period of ventricular fibrillation..."

I see no point in debating this further. Have a good day.
