I just find it hard to believe that in all these yearas, none of the nurses or doctors have had the nerve to stand up to Mr. Schiavo. Keeping terri's blinds closed, no rehab, not let her listen to music, restrict visitors. This man is pure evil and I am convinced Terri did not suffer brain damage as a result of a "thud" during the night. I believe he tried to do her in that evening and failed.....
There's a possibility of damage. but if anything it was at most after the initial incident, or the many times he injected Terri, a non-diabetic, with Insulin, resulting in a hypoglycemic shock and a short coma in the late 90s. why did he become a nurse? so he could have access to insulin. He's only backpedaling now about the autopsy because he thinks that time will cover his crimes, and feigns ignorance about particulars of autopsy saying--u must be watching too much CSI. A nurse will know the general steps involved in an autopsy, and given the nature of the controversy of it w/ terri, I'm 100% certain he knows...
as for standing up to him, too many feared being fired for doing so...
IMHO, she has her faculties about her, but the incident damaged her ability to actually reach out... let's pray she can "wake up" screaming demanding food/water and Michael's neck at the end of a rope!!!
