Tallahassee, FL (LifeNews.com) -- A nurse who cared for Terri Schiavo during the mid 1990s and helped expose her former husband's mistreatment of her is under attack from a state agency. The Florida Department of Health wants to revoke Carla Iyer's license over an interview she gave CNN last March about how Michael Schiavo failed to care for and mistreated Terri.

Iyer, who is employed at the Palm Garden of Largo Convalescent Center, filed an affidavit for Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in his attempts to help Terri's parents prevent Terri's death.

Iyer said that, after one visit by Michael in Terri's room for 20 minutes with the door shut, Iyer found Terri lethargic and "crying hysterically." She checked Terri's blood sugar levels and they were barely showing any reading on the glucometer, she indicated. She also saw a vial of "insulin concealed in the trash bin."

>> a Massachusetts woman filed a complaint with the agency after she watched Iyer's CNN interview,... saying Iyer made "inflammatory remarks" regarding Michael Schiavo.

In other words, some busybody with no legal standing can file a nuisance complaint with the Florida Department of Health and put a nurse at risk of her job. So what bureau do we call in Massachusetts to investigate this busybody's inflammatory statement about Carla Iyer?

Notice what the FDOH does NOT investigate: the mistreatment of Terri Schiavo on orders from Michael Schiavo, as reported by eyewitness Iyer. A guardian (Michael) does NOT have the right to dictate medical treatment contrary to the best interests of his ward.

>> And Republican intrusions into private and local affairs -- think Terri Schiavo -- are making Democrats look comparatively restrained.

... Congressional Democrats, too, voted to intervene in the Schiavo affair and hardly stand to gain from the incident.)

This intervention myth is a problem. The critics try to have it both ways, and are wrong about both. It was local judicial intervention, not Congressional, that destroyed a private medical decision. These writers take it for granted that Terri should have been put to death, i.e., they bought the whole death culture case. We need to rebut both points.

I don't at all agree with their implied point that intervention for Terri was bad politics. Failing Terri; failing to save her was the bad politics (and bad governing).

Well, I see MS and others are busy rooting out everyone who tried to do the right thing by Terri. Carla Iyer did the absolutely correct thing by filing a police report after that insulin episode. They fired her, probably blackballed her, now they want her license to practice. I didn't see the interview on CNN, but I'm sure she was professional, and kept to the facts. Of course the facts are damning towards MS, Greer, etc.

"That's been the problem the whole time -- [presiding] Judge Greer not looking into all the evidence,"

Greer puts a whole new meaning to "blind justice".

CNN shows Michael Schiavo's Path to Perjury:

http://www.judgegeorgegreer.com/

Michael Schiavo LIED on Larry King so they cannot prosecute Carla for anything unless they prosecute Michael Schiavo for perjury too. Why didn't Massachusetts busybody dislike Mikey's lies? She must be part of Massachusetts death worshippers. I bet she knows Michael. What do you bet she's given to his PAC or to a candidate he recommended?

If so, case dismissed.

To "permit any affirmative or deliberate act or omission to end life" is forbidden by Florida Statute (withholding NATURAL nutrition and liquids) §765.309(1). Greer not only permitted it, he ORDERED IT.
