Terri Schiavo update:

Turns out that not only was Terri not abused by her husband, but the medical examiner of Pinellas County has determined in relation to her brain damage that, "this damage was irreversible, and no amount of therapy or treatment would have regenerated the massive loss of neurons."

So I suppose the right-wing crackpot doctors can refute this evidence? Or are we just going to see a new wave of attacks by their leaders (i.e. Tom DeLay and Pat Robertson) claiming that the Pinellas medical examiner is somehow anti-Christian and therefore cannot be trusted?

I wait with baited breath.

Update (6/16) -- The Houston Chronicle reports today :
"A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a physician who said during the fierce debate over the issue that he did not think Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state, did not return a call seeking comment."

Interesting that Dr. Frist refuses to back up his medical opinions, huh?

I've been trying to figure out why they waited this long to investigate.
