57 20 Jun 2005 UTC We have one doctor who said Terri was watching him And we have another doctor who said Terri was cortically blind We can report those two facts as is But no one has come out and judged that the autopsy report is right and Cheshire is wrong so we can not report that Since Cheshire and Thogmartin are both doctors we can t dismiss one out of hand over the other They both qualify as expert testimony If some plumber testified in court that Terri was watching him then I think we could argue that we could take that out as incorrect information and rely on Thogmartin alone But this is doctor versus doctor and all we can do is report who said what As it is now Cheshire says Terri watched him and then parenthesis point out the autopsy two weeks later says something different So the conflicting facts are present next to each other That s all we can do and remain npov 15 21 18 Jun 2005 UTC Since I heaped praise upon for his balanced and non extremist POV it is only fair that I give credit for not pushing his POV even though he doesn t appear to me to always abide by this high standard In rebuttal to below I must point out that ALL doctors have an opinion and while I admit that Cheshire did not examine Terri as much as some doctors I must point out that Cheshire examined Terri a heck of a lot more than WE did Cheshire is a whole heck of a lot more qualified than WE are even with my double major in the sciences biology and chemical science with honors and lastly Any lack of examination on his part is NOT his fault but the judges fault judges plural possessive and let s recap Thogmartin and crew were reporting their opinions too Besides Cheshire may NOT have been wrong when he said Terri looked at him Not only could she have turned and looked at him by sound cues 3 D hearing depth perception by use of her ears which were not in question but also we have found examples in which people with half a brain or less have been very successful in life thus raising the possibility that TERRI could have been able to see think feel etc I give credit to other editors like who were more resourceful at finding and posting examples of cases of half brain but aware and intelligent people which I ve seen in passing on the Internet The converse is true also I believe the medical literature has reported cases in which the brain looked fairly normal but the person was PVS In fact I don t have to go to the medical literature for that one We have several editors who act and look normal but are really PVS Yuk yuk yuk 13
