Jeb has new Schiavo diagnosis?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

---snip---
A neurologist who reviewed Schiavo's medical records for the state Department of Children and Families indicated that she is "most likely in a state of minimal consciousness," rather than the persistent vegetative state previous doctors have diagnosed, Bush said.

"This new information raises serious concerns and warrants immediate action," Bush said.

The doctor reviewed Schiavo's medical records, watched videotapes and observed her at the hospice, but was not able to personally examine her, state officials said.

Gee, you don't think they'll use this bullshit "new" diagnosis for a new appeal, do you??

Jeb is a fucking asshole.

1. Watched videotapes? What the hell kind of medicine is that?

How ridiculous.

She's been in a persistent vegetative state for how long now, and ONE doctor who has watched videotapes of her comes up with a new diagnosis?

4. Is there such a medical diagnosis?

Is there a condition called "minimal consciousness?"

I remember watching my brother emerge slowly from a coma, after a car accident. No one said anything about minimal consciousness!

5. Jebs next try at "saving" Terri (his career), reads like this

"No citizen of Florida can die without proper authorization from Jeb Bush personally, unless they are poor or Democrats".

[deadparrot]

10. Who the hell are these fuckwits

with NO medical training making diagnoses based on hearsay? It's pretty goddamn sick.

[Avalux]

11. Actually -

this guy is a board certified neurologist. What he's doing is even sicker.

[deadparrot]

13. Do we have a name?

I skimmed the article and couldn't find one.

[Avalux]

14. William P. Cheshire Jr., MD

I checked his references and he is board certified.

Very religious, very worshipping of the * administration. All the articles I've found are about "Jesus Christ the Lord" and the * administration's "moral high ground."

Blech.

18. He's just showing everyone

20. How can Terri be in a "state of minimal consciousness"?

Wasn't she just saying a couple days back "I want to live"?
They need to make up their minds.
