Dr. Bashour. Anything extraneous could have accounted for that.
Mr. Specter. So, you require a number of flips before you inquire if there is heart activity?
Dr. Bashour. Well, it depends on the configuration of the flip—if the flip resembles an electrocardiogram activity—it shows cardiac activity.
Mr. Specter. Was that configuration of the flip like heart activity or not?
Dr. Bashour. It wasn't, as far as I know.
Mr. Specter. That is your field, is it not, you read those flips?
Dr. Bashour. Well, it's my field to see the electrocardiograms; yes.
Mr. Specter. And, in your professional opinion, the flip which you saw was not a conclusive indicator of heart activity?
Dr. Bashour. As a matter of fact, when he removed his hand, there was nothing.
Mr. Specter. And who is "he"?
