“Theresa spent two and a half months as an inpatient at Humana Northside Hospital, eventually emerging from her coma state, but not recovering consciousness. On 12 May 1990, following extensive testing, therapy and observation, she was discharged to the College Park skilled care and rehabilitation facility. Forty-nine days later, she was transferred again to Bayfront Hospital for additional, aggressive rehabilitation efforts. . .
The clinical records . . . show . . . She received regular and intense physical, occupational and speech therapies. . .
In late Autumn [sic} of 1990, following months of therapy and testing . . . Michael took Theresa to California, where she received an experimental thalamic stimulator implant in her brain . . . in January 1991 . . . Theresa was transferred to the Mediplex Rehabilitation Center . . . where she received . . . physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapies.
On 19 July 1991, Theresa was transferred to the Sable Palms . . . facility. . . . (where she received) regular and aggressive physical, occupational and speech therapy . . . through 1994.
I’d say she had a tad bit of therapy.
Just as a memory check, it seems that I keep hearing that Michael refused to let Terri have swallowing tests. Yet, in the Wolfson report, I read that there were three early on - 1991, 1992, and 1993. Now, that should be in the medical records, so if Wolfson was making stuff up, it could be checked.
Yes, much therapy, probably past the time that doctor's were saying that she had no hope of improvement if she hadn't responded already.
Doesn't the proximity of the end of that therapy to the date of the malpractice award seem a little suspicious? She had 2 years of therapy... and 13 years of a high-powered lawyer trying to have her put down.
