Media Release | 4-6-05 | The Family of Mae Magouirk

Gibbs wasn't supposed to present the facts of the case. That was going to be during the "de novo" hearing that was denied and the tube was not restored.

Gibbs didn't fail. Judge Whittemore was harsh to the Schindlers, made them wait before he said no and his pal, Joe Redner was at the Fed Court Hearing. Why is Judge Whittemore paling around with a porn peddler????? I think we have some sick and twisted judges here in Florida. Maybe that needs to be investigated instead of criticizing the attorneys.

You only go with hospice if you are terminal with 6 months or so left. Once you sign with hospice, you are saying that you are not going to seek anymore curative treatment, BUT you can reneg on hospice if you wish ...like if some miracle cure appears. Hospice only pays for certain medications. As a matter of fact, it is not the norm for hospice to pay for ativan, unless there are extenuating circumstances. As to why a hospice bed was procured rather than a nursing home, it may have something to do with payment. Because Mae could receive hospice visits in a nursing home if she wished.

But if Mae was not on the verge of death, why would hospice take her? I think the hospice and hospital are owned by the same outfit, but seems a nursing home would be where she would have been taken if she was not in critical condition. Yeah, I know, too many questions!

She does not have a feeding tube and from reports she is currently unconscious.

Just got this comment left on my blog---

Two agencies advised me to call TROUP COUNTY ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES, DIVISION OF AGING SERVICES' SENIOR ADULT VICTIMS ADVOCATE HOTLINE at:

1-888-774-0152.

I did so, and left messages at both the Senior Adult Victims Hotline and the Adult Protective Services hotline voicemails (two voicemails are at that line). They may have been closed, but I don't know if someone may not listen to the messages over the weekend.

There is a woman receptionist still answering at Troup County Adult Protective Services, at 706-298-7100,
who also put me through to HUGH PARTON's voicemail, a manager of some sort there, where I left a message, and she also gave me HUGH PARTON's direct fax, which goes directly to his desk, which is 706-298-7108.

I do not have a fax machine to be able to send a fax to him....CAN ANYONE SEND HIM A FAX, PLEASE?? Thank you!!

[tricky_k_1972]

Whoever has ultimate control I.E. power of attorney can place a patient in a hospice.

[Smartaleck]

Thanks for your touching story. I had a very dear friend who was in a similar situation. She's at peace now as I'm sure your friend is. Bless you.

To underline, just do the same thing you do for italics only use a "u" instead of an "i". It would go between these <>. To shut it off do this </> with the letter after the backslash.

Prayers Continuing for this dear Lady!

"Also upon Gaddy's request and without prior legal authority, since March 28"

On my calendar March 28 is not any more two weeks ago than April 4. April 4 was when the guardianship was established - not before. READ the information available.

[sageb1]

"But if Mae was not on the verge of death, why would hospice take her?"

This is a key question that needs answering and you are right to point it out.

[tricky_k_1972]

The problem is your only suposed to be in a hospice if your TERMINAL, but everebody will become teriminal if deprived of food and water.

[Wneighbor]

To underline type like this without putting any spaces between the <>:

< u >type what you want to underline then< / u >

To make bold:

< b >type bold text then< / B >

And for Italics:

< i >italic text here< / i >

Just don't put any spaces in those pointy brackets and it will come out right in html. :-)
