I'm lost. You said the SMART is now used because the old system was not reliable. But now you're saying that SMART isn't necessary because of the old system. Only one judge ruled her PVS and it was based on the three doctors I mentioned and not one spent more than an hour with her. He decided that once the court (he) declared her PVS, it was never to be discussed again.
So back to the original article you posted: "The vegetative state needs considerable skill to diagnose, requiring assessment over a period of time; diagnosis cannot be made, even by the most experienced clinician, from a bedside assessment." So make a choice, use this article or denounce it but don't do both. On Mon, 21 Mar 2005 14:47:05 -0500, Larry C. Lyons wrote: > because after 15 years there is no need to.
