Here is the New York Times article on Dr William Cheshire, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic who did the examination on Terri just by standing there and looking at her without actually touching her.
Below is snippets of the article
Dr. Cheshire directs a laboratory at the Mayo Clinic branch in Jacksonville dealing with unconscious reflexes like digestion, and he is director of biotech ethics at the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, a nonprofit group founded by "more than a dozen leading Christian bioethicists," in the words of its Web site.
In an article last year in Physician magazine, published by the evangelical group Focus on the Family, Dr. Cheshire, 44, said doctors are too quick to declare that a patient is in a persistent vegetative state.
Focus on the Family, isn't that the group Dr Dobson is in? The many links of the Republicans!
Anyway, I'm close to the Mayo Clinic. I think it's one of the most brilliant clinics/hospitals in the world. It's number 2 behind Johns Hopkins in the US. I really think it's a travesty that Dr Cheshire works at the Mayo Clinic.
Go to Mayo Clinic's site and click on Jacksonville and call them and ask why they hired a doctor who has no ethics.
