Neurologist on Faux: Schiavo has only 20% of her brain left

The rest has atrophied. Dr. Leon Prockop on Greta Van Susteren is basing his opinion on the scans.

Greta ended the interview - it's just not what the False News Network wants broadcast to the faithful.......

13. Where on earth is the five-second delay when you need it ???

Someone slipped up big time - the neurologist obviously wasn't screened and his urine not tested for the mandatory Kool-Aid....

6. He also said

She's "awake but not aware" of her surroundings, and that there's never been a recorded case of anyone recovering from this degree of damage. Has anyone but me gotten the impression on Fox today that they're backing down a bit, and setting the stage for a withdrawal of outrage? (I never watch Fox except for now, waiting for the court decision, so I'm basing my perception on what others have said from previous days' shows, so I'm curious if this is a change in tone from them or not - and if so, why?)

17. I watched a few minutes of O'Lielly and Hannity and Colmes

both had doctors on, and both doctors said just about the same thing. With O'Lielly I had to pick my jaw up off the floor, because he said something to the effect of "Thank you Doctor. With all the rumors out there, we need to get the facts out." :wow: Colmes seemed to have a backbone for the few minutes I watched. As soon as they went to freakshow hannity I had to change the station.

21. Also on Hannity there was a woman "hospice expert" of sorts

who said there was no pain involved in death from dehydration. She explained the entire procedure and said the patients were barely aware and quite comfortable.

8. I'll bet that's that last we'll see of Dr. Prockop on FoxNews

They don't like to keep around people who don't toe the Party line.

10. Be prepared to hear the "We only use 10% of our brains" myth

They are going to throw everything they can think of.

16. Freeper logic: We only use 10% of our brains, so...

...that means that Terri has a 200% chance of recovery!

20. Well yes, the part of Schiavo's brain that remains is commonly called

the "reptilian brain" by neurologists, so it would corelate with Republican thought processes.

18. And the scans are how old? About 4 years??

If so then what is the extent of the atrophy now?
