Dr William Hammesfahr -Florida neurologist -Nobel Prize nominee??

False
He was never nominated by a member of the selection committee or other authorized individual. He was nominated by a Rep. Mike Bilirakis (R-FL) without the proper credentials.

Dubious doctor touted as Nobel Prize nominee by Hannity, Scarborough

Fined $2000

Hammesfahr was the only one of the five selected doctors that stated that Terri's condition could be reversed.

And keep in mind that you're hearing that from a middle-aged North American male! Man bites dog! Call the Nobel committee!

:silly:

accountability on this? They didn't check credentials did they? They ought to all be fired. Bunch of hypocrits all of them. They had to be so 'fair and balanced' and let the liars speak for the fundies.

Another so-called expert called by the family to examine Mrs. Schiave and give an opinion was a Dr. William Greenfield. He was on Cooper's 360. I thought he looked questionable during the interview, so I looked him up on the website of the Floriday Medical Board and found that he has had to voluntarily surrender his medical license. He was an osteopath, and claimed to be a radiologist. Only a handful of radiologists ever treat living people, they read and interpret films and scans. He wouldn't meet the test as a medical expert in any state in this country, but he wasn't questioned in any way on the program.
