>> Doctor Harrison... says that her EEG is so depressed

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.

As far as I know, we don't have the words of Dr. Harrison on record. Both versions are from MS.
