I believe others referred to "implants" also, perhaps in general discussion. No matter, it's a simple factual question. We can check the fact in one of the Terri books.
I was struck by SueBob's lawyerly point that Dr. Nelson's reference to the implant didn't belong in the autopsy report. It was like he was offering a legal argument. It was CYA. He was making excuses for the lack of an MRI -- unconvincingly. SueBob pointed out that this was defensive argument, not objective reporting... and wondered why he did it? It reduced his credibility. She came back to this point several times in her blogging.
Dr. Nelson further reduced his credibility by saying Terri's condition "was consistent with" PVS, which is meaningless or an illegitimate post-mortem finding. Her condition was just as "consistent with" higher states of consciousness. Nelson was stacking the deck. He did it much more flamboyantly by comparing Terri's brain weight to Karen Ann Quinlan's. That is grandstanding, not objectivity.
This may very well be another strangulation that he missed. He should put his skill at missing strangulations on his resume.

Probably not, but it will be easy to find in a book. It really doesn't matter for our discussion.

This thread is a keeper! It is chock full of info, and largely thanks to those hapless trolls who unwittingly did good while trying to do bad all in the name of unintended consequences.
So long as they are kept on a leash, they can be handy and fun even if they nip anyone who comes too near, but do have some use.
The thread may become useful as a reference thread, and as it remains active, is likely to attract some more contention.

As the troll stood, gun pointing to his head, his wife pleaded, “Please do not kervorkian yourself.”
“Shut up,” he said, “You’re next!”

Romans 8:28:
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
I have a dear friend (indeed, a former or inactive Freeper) who argues that this is the most important verse in scripture. It certainly demands the closest contemplation and study.

I was a fan of Max Shulman. Can we say Rally Round the Flag, Boys? It was one of my treasures of youth. His humor fit right in. But I confess, I can’t place your Bang.

First line of "Sleep Till Noon." It had absolutely nothing to do with the book. Max just thought it would be a great first line for a book :-) I went searching for it just now, found a few SIGNED copies for sale, and pounced on one. Just for old times' sake.
My introduction to Shulman was "Barefoot Boy with Cheek." This book had an even better first line... think about it :-) ... sticking a pushpin into his alma mater: "St. Paul and Minneapolis extend from the Mississippi River like the legs on a pair of trousers. Where they join is the University of Minnesota."
In fact, the whole book was a spoof on the U. of Minnesota, with such characters as Asa Hearthrug (our hero), Lodestone la Toole, his hometown sweetheart who eats lard sandwiches, Yetta Samovar, the campus subversive, and Noblesse Oblige, a member of the Beta Thigh sorority. (Asa's fraternity, which he joined because he fell into their pit trap, was Alpha Cholera.) The stupid athlete was named Eino Flikkeninnen, or something along those lines. SO Minnesota.

Tagline practice. This one is by Fred Allen, but there isn’t room to attribute it.

I was just reading back through this thread and came across one of T'wit's last posts.
I'm sure I had seen it last summer, but I couldn't help laughing when I read it again.
