ARE YOU READY FOR A $20 MILLION WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT AGAINST MICHAEL SCHIAVO, Does 1-10
the news | 3-22-05 | dfu

Posted on 03/22/2005 8:35:01 AM PST by doug from upland

It appears that Terri Schiavo is going to be starved and dehydrated. I don't see how it going to be stopped short of a kidnapping to save her life.

If we are to believe sworn affidavits, Michael Schiavo denied his beloved wife rehab, speech, and occupational therapy. Terri actually was able to drink from a baby bottle and ate pudding and jello. He threatened to fire a nurse if she got nourishment from anything but the feeding tube?

Why just the feeding tube? Because he could have that pulled and starve her to death. He had no interest in seeing that she learn to eat again.

A nurse has said that Terri was able to say "mommy," "help me," "hi," and express when she was in pain.

Terri is also being denied communion.

Michael thinks it is over when he has managed to starve and dehydrate her to death? No, Michael, I don't think so.

There will be a wrongful death suit filed of perhaps $20 million. The evidence will come out about the denial of rehab. Her broken bones will be investigated. Ultimately, Michael, some of the truth is going to see the light of day. You are not going to get away with it. Not in this life. Not in the next.

She lives and breathes and she recognizes her family. They love her and want her; Michael doesn't. There was no written advance direction from Terri. He has left her emotionally for another woman. I say err on the side of life.

Then ask the moderator to delete your last sentence. I know it's your Gladiator moment, but try to understand.

OJ Simpson walked in the criminal trial. Although he is still hiding assets, he got nailed at the civil trial. A civil trial may reveal facts that are not yet in evidence. Did the court have all the information when they made the decision?

Sorry, I tend to give a renowned neurologist who spent 10 hours with Terri more credit than you.

Exactly the way I took the post, Doug.

Hildy needs time out. In a nice, quiet room with pleasant cartoon characters painted on the walls.

When did your husband examine Terri?

ahhh, I see where you forgot to mention that shes friggin BRAIN DEAD...most people seem to forget that...alot





Yes, I agree she's PVS,
but a whole lot of senile old folks
might as well be PVS, yet they're fed
intravenously and wear diapers.

I can clearly see both sides to Mrs. Shiavo's case, and I am of the opinion that she ought to cared for by her parents, who have promised to pay all of her expenses themselves.

Oh, the wife of a doctor! Well, that makes it all different! I'm SURE you're qualified to assess communication skills, and have received training in speech pathology and non-verbal communication with brain damaged patients.

I'm SO sorry I misjudged you!

I've spent days on end researching documents & anything I can find on this case. (My eyes can barely focus.)

I've found nothing to show he does not love and care about Terri.

He visits her more than her parents do. He was with Terri all day yesterday.

Until I find facts to substantiate otherwise, I give Michael the benefit of the doubt.

I do believe he loves and cares about her very much.

Free Republic has jumped the shark with the Schiavo threads. It makes the DU cesspool look absolutely rational. It is a very dark day when invective and threats are commonplace because another FReeper's view don't match yours.

No, I am NOT a nurse, but I am the wife of a doctor.

Then by all means, we should listen to you...a wife of a doctor! You must certainly know Terri's ability to not communicate. And I suppose the inability to communicate makes her disposable.< /sarcasm>

Have you taken care of people like Terri, who are brain damaged but aware, awake, and alive? I have.

Same here--worked six years in neuro ICU/stepdown. As I've said a couple of times in the past few days--have taken care of way too many hopeless neuro cases who, after extensive therapy, actually walked back into our unit to thank us.

Of course, our reflex response was always, "Oh my God!"

Well, now EggsAckley has written that it wasn't the nurse who heard Terri speak, it was a lawyer, and we all know that lawyers never lie.

Yeah!

Like I am deciding this case.
Hysteria reigns here.
Pity.

I saw her priest, the family advisor to the family, interviewed a bit ago. I do not understand why last rites are being denied....but then I also don't understand how lotion on her body or water on her lips constitutes "prolonging her life", which he said is also being done.

I am disgusted. Thoroughly disgusted.

Even the "death with dignity" crowd cannot believe that there is dignity is what is happening to her.
