As I looked at Terri, and she gazed directly back at me...
Except that we know from the autopsy that she was blind, because her visual cortex was destroyed. So she can't possibly have gazed back at him. Also, he watched videotapes, reviewed her records and observed her, but did not examine her. Sadly, I suspect that Dr. Cheshire's hopes for her got the better of objective medical judgement.
Did you observe her? What is your motive? You are no md
Is it impossible that dehydration caused this?
Is that what you call it when a doctor doesn't perform the necessary medical tests to determine his patient's faculties? You call someone like Ronald Cranford objective? Hey, I have some swampland I'd like to sell you!
