That was his version of a conversation he had with a Dr. Harrison in the 1993 guardianship hearings. I can't find where they questioned Harrison about it. It could be just a Mickey cat story, but it's in the record.
I didn't include that in my post below because of length, but what I thought was interesting was that it appears that Terri had not seen a neurologist since Dr. Yingling (who turns out not to be a medical doctor at all) until one day before Michael's court testimony! I can only imagine what a little police interrogation might lead to with this character.

SHEEHAN: Okay. How often does Doctor Harrison see her, do you know.
SCHIAVO: He's seen her---
NILSSON: You're talking right now, as we sit?
SHEEHAN: Yeah. I mean does he see her on a regular basis now?
SCHIAVO: No.
SHEEHAN: When was the last time he saw her?
SCHIAVO: Yesterday.
SHEEHAN: When was the last time before that?
SCHIAVO: She didn't.
SHEEHAN: So Doctor Harrison saw her for the first time yesterday?
SCHIAVO: Yes, on the advice of Doctor Lyles to go see her or him.
SHEEHAN: Okay. When was the last time Terri had seen a neurologist?
SCHIAVO: I'd have to look up some records. I don't remember.
SHEEHAN: Has it been years?
SCHIAVO: No, I don't think it's been years.
SHEEHAN: Has a neurologist seen her since Doctor Yingling saw her?( April 1991)
SCHIAVO: I don't recall.

I wish some courageous investigators really interested in justice would take a hard look at the time when Dr. Yoshio Hosobuchi was in the picture, per your link. I keep posting the picture of Terri because she was on her way to substantial recovery before they started experimenting with her brain.
This was taken a couple years or so after the incident and as her many broken bones were healing, and before Mikey cashed in on the malpractice lottery.
What's on the record is that Dr. Harrison -- ghoulish though he is on this account -- did not say her EEG was "completely flat." He said "depressed." I gather he saw Terri only once and that was enough for him to opine that she had "died" four years earlier? And this with merely "depressed" brain function according to a single EEG? This does not sound credible at all -- at least not coming from Michael.
Any medics around to help with this? Pending better info, I've been told that EEGs are about the weakest tool in the neurologists' kit and will probably be obsolete soon. They aren't terribly reliable, I gather.
