1. The scan seems fake, however the analysis of it is accurate.

2. The problem with CTs is that they are not the final word. I had a minor, transient stroke earlier this year. Got a CT and it showed nothing. A subsequent MRI determined that I did have a stroke, and its location.

   Let me add that the CT in question was done some years ago. I dare say a CT done today would show a different situation.

3. This is great. The bloggers are going to free us from the tyranny if the MD’s.

4. Which MDs? The ones who agree with you, or the ones who disagree?

5. Any 75-85 year old with that scan is Terri Schiavo. The amount of brain tissue missing is stunning. The enlarged ventricles [central space, )( ] are frightening, the highlighted sulci-gyri [peripheral frond-like structures] are macbre. This is not your grandmother.

   [I did not “read” c-t’s, but saw many normal and abnormal ones. Nothing compares to Terri’s. Why would it?]

   Which ones agree with me? I think this whole thing is fantastic. Distributed diagnosis. Where is the Kerning in the CT scan? Ahh.. the web.

8. Some technical analyses can be followed quite adequately by an interested, informed layperson. Others can’t.

   The logic–or illogic–underlying a position is almost always accessible to such a person.

   Some welcome this unexpected increase in transparency; others don’t. Either way, these aren’t hard concepts to grasp.
