From Your Article: "In November 1992 he was awarded $1,2-million"

Someone doesn't have their facts straight and I think it is YOUR Source.

May 1992… Michael and the Schindlers stop living together

January 1993… Michael recovers $1 million settlement for medical malpractice claim involving Terri's care; jury had ruled in Michael's favor on allegations Terri's doctors failed to diagnose her bulimia, which led to her heart failure; case settled while on appeal

From This LinkAbstract Appeal

I know I'm going to get flamed over this, but if we had our way with Tort Reform back in the 1980's, the family wouldn't have gotten a wooden nickle from the doctors.

And they call this reporting?! The South African Star?! Is this Africa's version of The National Enquirer?!

What compelled you, ambrose, to post such nonsense? From this day forward I will suspect your credibility. It is one thing to have an opinion, whether it's right or wrong, but it is altogether another to print this kind of biased "reporting."

This article is total *B.S.* and doesn't *DESERVE* to be posted here.

I know you're one of those who wants Terri to *DIE*, but that is no excuse for *DEFAMING* her!

If only a SUV-driving pit bull driving recklessly in search of bull semen were involved, I have no doubt you'd see more clearly.

Given the fact that it is rather late, I will mention just one of many points of contention.

"On the Internet, ultra-conservative Christians level unsubstantiated accusations of violence against her by her husband."

Notice the attempt to discredit and attack not just "bloggers", but Christians as well. Is this what you would discribe as good journalism? Credible?

Also, how can something be unsubstantiated without first examining the evidence? There are statements by those in the medical field that contradict the "reporters" claims.

Lord please have mercy on us, and most especially on Terri and her family. Good night.

"According to Dr Jay Wolfson, the heart seizure was brought on by "a dramatically reduced potassium level", the probable result of an "aggressive weight-loss programme". "

What accounts for the broken bones and fractures that they discovered? Let's talk about all of it.

"Weight loss set Terri on a road to tragedy.........'after her feeding tube was removed by order of Judge Greer and sentenced to die by starvation and dehydration'"

That's more like it.

I've been as vocal as anyone else on this matter and I'm Jewish. So much for this slanted, bigoted, and factually wrong report.

"Whats all the fuss?" Did you bother to read the thread?
"Why is everybody mad at you?" If this was a story about some rolling bratwurst that was viciously mauled by a rabid dog we wouldn't feel so strongly.

But this story involves an innocent woman who was sentenced by one judge to die. And ambrose felt compelled to post this "unsubstantiated" piece of journalistic bovine waste. No respect for the truth or Terri Schiavo and her family.

I guess this is the other 99% and so I'll humor you. :^)

Calm down. I just wanted to see what he would say. Obviously, he has chosen not to respond. Probably too busy high fiving himself.

Jeez

There are two sides to this dispute. Some only want to hear one side of it.

I am quite calm. There are people in the world who are capable of exercising self control and at the same time express their opinions with heartfelt emotion.

ambrose would have to administer a self-applied high five. No one else would share the "victory" with him(such lofty goals are to be admired). Personally, I'd like to see him attempt to give himself a chest thrust.

"Some only want to hear one side of it."

And that would be you. Many of us have read copies of the court papers, statements, testimony, etc. Whether you're for Terri's death sentence or not is your right. I do not fault you for having an opinion, but if you expect to post a thread such as this you should expect criticism and questioning of your motives.
