"An EEG is NOT an accurate tool, by any means, to make this kind of determination. Not even close"

Disregarding PET scans and MRIs, what would a flat-lined cerebral cortex EEG tell you?

There is a statement that her head may have been bashed in 3 days after she was brought in from the collaspe. Maybe it may show those kind of injurys that are not documented.. that could explain a lot of unknowns.. But then.. I am not a dr.

There's a principle in law called "the best evidence rule".

Now, it's not about EEGs vrs CAT/PET scans, it's about documents, but there is a similar point to be made in this instance.

The point is this: would you be willing to make a life-or-death decision on less-than-the-best evidence, when the best evidence is available?

Of course not.

Given the range of affidavits and observations from caregivers, I simply refuse to believe the purported EEG results, and would demand corroberation using "the best evidence".
