“That’s Criminal”
This is almost beyond credibility. And yet, it appears to be factual:
In the course of my conversation with Dr. Morin, he made reference to the standard use of MRI and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans to diagnose the extent of brain injuries. He seemed to assume that these had been done for Terri. I stopped him and told him that these tests have never been done for her; that Michael had refused them.
There was a moment of dead silence.
“That’s criminal,” he said, and then asked, in a tone of utter incredulity: “How can he continue as guardian? People are deliberating over this woman’s life and death and there’s been no MRI or PET?” He drew a reasonable conclusion: “These people [Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and Judge Greer] don’t want the information.”
Can this be?
In marked contrast, Dr. Cranford examined Terri on one occasion, for approximately 45 minutes. Another doctor for Michael Schiavo, Dr. Peter Bambikidis of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, examined Terri for about half an hour. When Dr. Bell learned of the cursory nature of these exams, he said: “You can’t do this. To make a diagnosis of PVS based on one examination is fallacious.” In Cranford’s examination, described by one witness as “brutal,” he discounted evidence under his own eyes of Terri’s responsiveness. At one point, Dr. Cranford struck Terri very hard on the forehead between her eyes. Terri recoiled and moaned, seemingly in pain. In his court testimony, Cranford dismissed the reaction and moan as a “reflex.”
“I asked Dr. Bell if he thought a moan uttered after a painful blow could be a reflex. “It’s highly unlikely,” he replied. He qualified his answer by noting that he had not actually seen the video of the exam, but he believes that the description of Terri’s reaction is not consistent with a reflex. “A moan is not a reflex,” Bell said. “A wince or grimace is not a reflex.” “

Michael Schiavo and his attorney are acting in a very suspicious manner it seems to me; turning down one million and, according to his lawyer, ten million to relinquish guardianship.
It appears he has been denying her medical care and controls very closely who sees her and who doesn’t and for how long.
Terri, the star witness. Mmmm. Something just doesn’t add up here.
The very curious part is the judge. I wonder what is motivating him in the face of this rather suspicious litany of circumstances.
