This makes my blood boil that psychiatrists, who can't even agree on his

diagnosis, can determine Ross' fate. It's another example of how unscientific

their field and DSM manual is, how subjective " their " labels really are, and

the fate of those labels.

======================================

Some of us in this " professional area " with over thirty years of experience are

even more perplexed with the Mrs. Teresa Schindler Schiavo case. Only a few

seconds observation on TV of Mrs. T.S. Schiavo was adequate to discern that this

patient was not " brain dead. " One minister, active in the case, had contacted

many neurologists, forty of whom were prepared to formally state that she was

not " brain dead. " Several elements in this case are not only " fishy " , but

rather " stink to high heaven " !! In my experience, the issue is not the

" patient, " but rather setting precedents with Federal Court-level adjudications.

This tendency was accelerated with the decision of the " panel " of Federal Judges

to appoint Mr. George-the-younger-Bush to the presidency. It appears that we

can expect even more such precedents, which reflects the stance of the current

US presidential cabinet. In my experience, the picture painted is very un-rosy

and un-pretty, and provides a brief overview of what is in store for the US

citizenry. We are viewing the beginning of the implementation of " orthodox

medicine " as described by Robin Cook, M.D. in various of his alleged novels. A

factual and very interesting book is, " Why I Left Orthodox Medicine, Derrick

Lonsdale, MD. Physician Dr. Lonsdale had forty years expererience at the

publication of his first book. Now, with 50 yrs experience, Dr. Lonsdale is

publishing his second book, available on-line at
