Baden made the assertion, that could easily be investigated, that she had evidence of many healed injuries. This is commonly what you see in abused children and women--you can do a full-body xray of a child who has no presenting injuries and find evidence of past. Is one of the dead giveaways--

Death by Bulimia, doctor's fault? Excuse me. Possible, yes. Probable, no.

First, it was proven in court that it was partially the doctors' fault. As I understand the claim, Terri had been examined and treated for several months prior to the 'incident' and no blood work had been done which could have caught the problem. One of the symptoms for which she saw doctors was continuing missed periods, which is consistent with anorexia / bulimia. Also, the jury assigned part of the "blame" to Terri (Florida is a "pure comparative negligence" state).

As for the bone scan report, it did mention "trauma" in the extremities and lower back - of a type that many adults have. Read it. It doesn't give any indication that she was beaten. And it doesn't say anything at all about any injury to her neck.
