9 out 11 neurologists is a fallacy
It has been suggested that 9 out of 11 neurologists who examined Terri determined her to be in a PVS state. This is a fallacy. There were only 8 neurologists who examined Terri and deemed her PVS and most of those neurologists were highly questionable: Dr. Garcia DeSousa Dr. Thomas Harrison Dr. James Barnhill Dr. Jeffery Karp Dr. Melvin Greer Dr. Ronald Cranford Dr. Peter Bambakidis Dr. Honayoshi That is 8 neurologists. Dr. Thomas Harrison - He only interpreted Terri's EEG. It is unknown if Dr. Harrison examined her. It is also unknown if Dr. Harrison ever examined Terri again. Michael schiavo brought Terri to visit Dr. Harrison. Dr. Harrison took a look at her EEG and told Michael "Why do you let her live?" I don't believe Dr. Harrison ever examined her again. Aside from the EEG, it is unknown on whether Dr. Harrison performed any other tests. Dr. James Barnhill - Was Felos's personal Death Doc. Examined Terri for about 1 hour the first time. Examined Terri the second time for about 10 minutes. Ordered no tests; no EEGs, MRIs, CT Scans, Blood Pressure, Etc. Dr. Jeffery Karp - Examined Terri for about 1 hour. Deemed her PVS. Never examined Terri again. Dr. Ronald Cranford - Examined Terri for about 45 minutes. Very biased. Did very few tests except for some balloon tracking trials. Dr. Melvin Greer - Examined Terri for about 30 minutes. Deemed her PVS. His examination seemed incompentent. Didn't remember the color of her eyes and couldn't answer some of his own examination questions. Had to be asked 3 times to look at the videos of Terri. Dr. Peter Bambakidis - Examined Terri for 30 minutes. Deemed her PVS. Although neutral, there is evidence to suggest that Bambakidis was selected by Felos and was against the Schindlers. Refused to contact or talk with the Schindlers or their lawyers. Total examination time with the 6 neurologists: About 5+ hours over a 10 year period! Dr. DeSousa is about the only neurologist who can be deemed credible in examining Terri as he is probably the only neurolgist who examined her the most over the years. Dr. Honayoshi was the doc who put the implant in. It is unknown what kind of exams Honayoshi did or what his opinion on Terri was then and later as the protocol for the implant progressed. Suprisingly, Dr. Desousa was never asked to testify in the 2000 trial. Now lets look at the Schindler's side: Dr. Hammesfahr - Examined Terri for over 3 hours and deemed her MCS. Hammesfahr's examination was much longer than Cranford, Greer, and Bambakidis combined. Hammesfahr's examination was much more extensive. Dr. Cheshire - Observed but did not exam Terri for 90 minutes. Based on his observations and review of her medical records, and the video tapes, Terri was MCS. Dr. Jacob Greer - Reviewed her medical records (or at least some of them) and the video tape from the 2000 trial. Deemed her MCS. The reactions shown on the video tape were not constitent with PVS. Dr. Alexander Gimon - Did an extensive anlaysis of the 2002 video tapes. Deemed her MCS. Reactions on the video tapes not constitent with PVS. Also reviewed audio recordings of Terri. Not constitent with PVS. Dr. William Russell - Reviewed her medical records and the video from 2000 trial. Deemed her MCS. Also reviewed Dr. Barnhill's testimony and refuted it. Dr. Beatrice Engstrand - Believed Terri to be MCS based on her expertise in the PVS state. Studied under Fred Plumm - the pioneer of the PVS state. Dr. Lawerence Huntoon - Viewed the video clips of Terri Schiavo. Deemed her MCS. Reactions in the videos were inconstitent with PVS. Dr. James Kelly - Questioned Terri's PVS diagnosis. Reactions shown in news reports were not constitent with PVS. Dr. Philip Kennedy - Urged further testing. Dr. Thomas Mark Zabiega - Urged further testing and therapy. Refuted autopsy. Dr. Laurie Barclay - Viewed the video clips. Not constitent with PVS. Believed Terri to MCS. Studied under Fred Plumm. * all mentioned Doctors are nuerolgists. |

Re: 9 out 11 neurologists is a fallacy
December 12, 1990 - ...Dr. Hosobuchi implanted a three-and-a-half-inch-long electronic lead into the thalamus in Terri's brain through a hole drilled in her skull... [Terri the Truth, page 36] James: You have a Dr. Honayoshi putting the implant in. Besides the book it's documents in court records that Dr. Yoshio Hosobuchi of the University of California did the experimental brain surgery on Terri. |
