William Hammesfahr is a nutcase.

He promotes himself as a "Nobel Prize nominee" but how special is that? Just get your Republican congressman to send a form letter to the committee nominating you. Very impressive!

This so called doctor claims that she didn't have an eating disorder that caused her heart attack at all but was strangled by her husband.

In 2003 he tried to prove to the court that she was responsive.

For nearly an hour, her parents and the doctor tell her to open her eyes, close her eyes, look this way, look that way?with little apparent response.

Judge Greer counted.

"By the court's count, (Hammesfahr) gave 105 commands to Terri Schiavo and, at his direction, Mrs. Schindler gave an additional six commands," Greer wrote. "He asked her 61 questions and Mrs. Schindler asked her an additional 11 questions. The court saw few actions that could be considered responsive to either those commands or those questions."

Also,

In February 2003, the Florida Board of Medicine ruled that he violated state law by charging a patient for services that were not provided (Finding of Fact No. 71, PDF p. 32). The board fined Hammesfahr $2,000, placed him on probation for six months, and ordered him to pay approximately $52,000 in administrative costs and to perform 100 hours of community service.
