"Over 20 courts have reviewed the evidence" - -bisous
There are still many unanswered questions remaining in this case that have not been addressed within the court system. The court has denied admission of potential evidence into this case on several occasions, leaving the final verdict less than air-tight. Even on 'appeal' this potential evidence was not allowed to be presented to the court.
One example of the above is a March 1991 bone scan which shows head trauma and bone injuries. Why was this bone scan never entered into the official court records?
In this post I have already addressed the bone scan issue. In that same post I also asked:
Could someone provide an article that states that the court does have this proof of evidence that Terri was indeed diagnosed/treated for bulimia and anorexia PRIOR to her heart stopping on that fateful day?
The article you posted says:
"But the doctor did not take a complete medical history that might have revealed an eating disorder."
So my question remains unanswered.
Here is yet another quote from your referenced article which seems to agree with the WND article that I posted earlier in this thread:
"Like almost every element in the case, whether Schiavo really was bulimic is in dispute. Her father, Robert Schindler, said he does not believe his daughter had an eating disorder and thinks her husband had something to do with her collapse. Michael Schiavo has denied hurting his wife."
Here is another interesting quote:
"During the malpractice case, at least one of Schiavo's friends testified they knew she was bulimic because after meals out, she always immediately excused herself to go to the bathroom. Her husband also knew she had peculiar eating patterns but did not realize they were dangerous, Fox said."
Did this friend follow Terri into the bathroom every time to verify that Terri was indeed purging herself or was Terri just doing what one usually goes there to do? After-all Terri was consuming a high amount of liquid during the day. Without actually reading the court transcript one will not really know just what this friend really said in court.
Another quote:
"Medical records from the hospital where Schiavo was treated after her collapse note that "she apparently has been trying to keep her weight down with dieting by herself, drinking liquids most of the time during the day and drinking about 10-15 glasses of iced tea." "
That statement alone does NOT prove that Terri had an eating disorder. On face value, it states that Terri was dieting and trying to keep her weight down. Many people that do not have eating disorders have done the same thing for short periods at a time, myself included. (And before you ask - no, I do not purge after eating a meal - never have, never will.)
In my opinion, it has been the courts, not the doctors, that have diagnosed Terri as having had bulimia by using third party doctors to express their opinions. These court doctors were NOT in a position to diagnose the disorder in Terri because they had never been able to do a personal examination of her prior to her collapse. Thus your article actually is nothing but expressed opinions which provide little proof that she was indeed bulimic prior to her collapse.
Doing unbiased research means that one must consider statements that are presented as fact on their own merit as to whether or not these statements are true or false. One cannot just dismiss facts just because they are written in a biased publication.
