Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
So says Dr. Boyle of CODEBLUEBLOG…

To prove my point I am offering $100,000 on a $25,000 wager for ANY neurologist (and $125,000 for any neurologist/bioethicist) involved in Terri Schiavo’s case–including all the neurologists reviewed on television and in the newspapers who can accurately single out PVS patients from functioning patients with better than 60% accuracy on CT scans.
I will provide 100 single cuts from 100 different patient’s brain CT’s. All the neurologist has to do is say which ones represent patients with PVS and which do not.
If the neurologist can be right 6 out of 10 times he wins the $100,000.
I Said What I Meant, And I Meant What I Said
My points are what I first said about the image from Terri Schiavo’s CT scan:
1) It is NOT as bad as the neurologists and bioethicists play it up to be; and,
2) There are many elderly patients with various levels of mental functioning who have severe atrophy that is difficult to distinguish from Terri Schiavo’s atrophy
I stand by what I said. And I’m putting my money where my mouth is.
THAT is what I call REAL “medical ethics.” He’s not only staking big bucks on what he’s saying, he’s obviously staking his reputation on it as well.
READ IT ALL and pass it on!
