So-called "Persistent Vegetative State"

Different River has an interesting link talking about misdiagnosis of the "Persistent Vegetative State" condition.

I get so tired of the media saying this. Why won't the media INSIST on the ability to bring the cameras into Terri's hospice room? If her husband (who has had children by another woman while married to Terri) says she is in this state, why won't the media check it out for themselves? Since he has refused to allow this, he should be questioned. If he is allegedly concerned about her "embarassment," why did he discuss her condition in public at all? Afterall, if she truly is in a PVS, what easier way to prove it and let the world see it by letting ALL media (and that includes media such as Fox News) videotape Terri?

Hopefully, Terri will have the feeding tube returned soon. And hopefully, Congress will eventually have Terri brought to them so we can all see Terri for ourselves on C-SPAN.
