Well it isn't bogus because you can see the actual report if you go to the link.
There is also the interview Greta did with Dr. Baden (who also said there should be an investigation).
“On the Record” with Greta van Susteren
Interview with Dr. Michael Baden, a Forensic Pathologist from NY
10-24-03
Greta: Dr. Baden, a potassium imbalance, let’s first talk about if you have a potassium deficiency, can that cause the condition that Terri Schiavo has?
Baden: Um, can, but unlikely. Potassium is very interesting. It’s probably the most lethal poison we have when it’s injected rapidly, and that’s why it’s the poison that kills people, capital punishment by lethal injection. And it stops the heart from beating properly — too much of it. But also too little of it., hypo-potassium, can also cause the heart to stop beating properly and lead to lack of blood flow to the brain and death of brain cells by lack of oxygen. But that’s very unusual, Greta, extremely unusual.
Greta: A normal healthy woman, I assume, would have no reason, for instance, to take potassium supplements unless, perhaps, she’s on a diuretic or some other medication that would cause a potassium depletion. Is that right?
Baden: That’s correct. That’s right.
Greta: Is there any explanation then in your mind, and I realize you were not her team physician, but why would a woman at her age have a potassium imbalance?
Baden: Extremely unusual unless she had certain kinds of diseases, which she doesn’t have. She was in her twenties. The reason that she’s in the state she’s in is because there was a period of time, maybe 5 minutes or 8 minutes, when not enough oxygen was going to her brain. That can happen because the heart stops for 5 or 8 minutes, but she had a healthy heart, from what we can see. The other thing, though. . . I’m sorry Greta?
Greta: No, go ahead.
Baden: Yeah, your staff has provided me with a bone scan that you guys obtained ah from her initial admission in 1991 to the hospital. And that bone scan describes her as having a head injury. That’s why she’s there, that’s why she’s getting a bone scan. And a head injury can cause, lead to the vegetative state that Ms. Schiavo is in now, and it does show evidence that there are other injuries, other bone fractures, that on healing-stage, so that....
Greta: So, let me back up a second. Head injury. Could she have had, could she have passed out from a potassium imbalance causing a falling head injury? Is that what you’re talking about, or are you suggesting some pre-existing head injury to her passing out?
Baden: Something totally different. That it’s extremely rare for a 20-year-old to have a cardiac arrest from low potassium who has no other diseases. So the other issue is could it have been due to some other cause, which is raised by the family, has to be looked at.
Greta: Alright, other injuries and bone injuries, what does that suggest to you?
Baden: Some kind of trauma. The trauma can be from an auto accident, the trauma can be from a fall, or the trauma can be from some kind of beating that she obtained from somebody somewhere. It’s something that should have been investigated in 1991 when these findings were found, and….
Greta: They were fresh.
Baden: Maybe there were, Maybe they were investigated by police at that time.
Greta: Alright. Dr. Michael Baden, thank you.
Baden: Thank you, Greta.
Hi, ampr -- you might be interested in some of the info on this thread. It's been posted to FR before, but you may not have seen it.
Terri has been misrepresented in the press AND in court as being comatose and unresponsive. . . why? Why such carelessness in reporting her true condition, ie that she is indeed responsive to her environment, and therefore is not in PVS?
In fact, her medical records in '90/'91 prior to the malpractice suits (when she was receiving appropriate therapy, which has since been discontinued) note that Terri DID respond, including saying "Stop" and making faces in response to therapy.
There are links to this and other "raw" info at http://www.terrisfight.org

FLe, hi -- would you please post your helpful info and links? Thanks -- hope you are well.
