This is why I don't like doctors
Re: the story on Drudge about the brain damaged man who "grew" a new nerve connection after a 20-year coma
QUOTE:
"The nerve fibers from the cells were severed, but the cells themselves remained intact," unlike Schiavo, whose brain cells had died, said Dr. James Bernat, a neurologist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, who is familiar with the research.
You know two things about this story:
1. It was written by a politically correct dunce. You can't trust a thing that comes from the Associated Press.
2. The dunce interviewed a dunce.
This doctor doesn't know a g-d damn thing about Terry Schiavo and he doesn't know a g-d damn thing about people in comas. No one on earth knows a thing about people in comas. Yesterday the same doctor would have told you that people can't grow a new nerve. Today everyone except Terry Schiavo can.

Yes, I know, Walker! What they did to Terry was evil.
I was told once that I needed surgery to repair what doctors called a "trigger thumb." I refused to let them cut. I simply massaged the thumb for a couple of days and it was fine! Haven't had a problem with it since. It's only a small thing compared to Terry, of course, but an example never-the-less. Doctors are just plain flat out wrong a lot of times! It wouldn't have hurt anyone to let Terry's parents have custody of her. I'm still pissed off about that! GRRRRRRRR!
