I watched Greta tonight too. I couldn't believe it! When she said they had the bone scan, I immediately thought somebody here must have sent it to her after last night's pitiful performance. I also liked how Baden emphasized that it was very unusual for a potassium imbalance to cause a heart attack in a healthy young woman. I hope Greta keeps this up. Other than Hannity, Fox has been a major disappointment.

I wasn't able to see Greta tonight, although I emailed her three times today.
What else did she say about Terri?

Well there have been a couple of thoughts that have bothered me for awhile as far as what might have happened that night....I mean apart from the possibility of her having been choked, which needs to be investigated. One of these possibilities would implicate Michael and the other would not. Given the affadavit of Nurse Iyers it appears that Michael may have injected Terri with insulin on several different occasions, and while it can't be proven, combined with other information, it certainly adds to a large pile of circumstantial evidence. So given his apparent familiarity with hospitals and giving injections, isn't it possible that he might have injected Terri with potassium, although, I have to admit that it seems a bit far-fetched.

The other possible scenario which I am surprised we haven't heard more about, is Terri's eating disorder. Seems she was obsessed with her weight and had lost over a hundred pounds since graduating from high school, according to one article. It has been reported that she was bulemic, which wreacks havoc with the body's natural chemical balance. Also, it is not uncommon for a person with an eating disorder to abuse laxatives and/or diuretics which, in the case of diuretics, causes potassium deficiency. Perhaps she had taken a potassium supplement, even to excess, which could have caused the severe reaction. Just something to think about.
