You have to remember that the hospital was defending itself against a lawsuit for malpractice.

Where did you get this info - or is it just an assumption?

I didn't think that the hospital was sued.

Rather, my understanding is that her doctor(s) who was treating her before the 'event' was sued . . . for not having had certain lab work done that would have detected her problem.

If my info is correct, why would you then falsly accuse the hospital of even having a motive to destroy records.

In any case, it's illegal to destroy records that have been requested as a part of a law suit.

Do you really believe that virtually everyone involved in this matter throughout the years has done these sorts of things?

If you think Michael Schiavo is telling the truth about Terri's wishes to not be kept alive in such a state, then why does he refuse to take a lie detector test?

If you think that Michael has nothing to hide here, then why does he want her body immediately cremated upon her death, with no autopsy being performed?

Also, if he has nothing to hide, then why doesn't he release her medical records?

We are talking about a man that is so sick and demented here that he wouldn't even allow Terri to have last rights.

You really are stupid. Don't you know how to READ? Of course the hospital was sued! If you know ANYTHING at all about litigation, the basic process of filing a malpractice suit in MOST, if not ALL jurisdictions is, you file suit against the hospital as well as the doctor IF the EVENT happened at a hospital and NOT a doctors office.

Also, there are affidavits on file from locations that Terri stayed that her records were cleaned out by Schiavo and others who helped him. One nurse in particular gave detailed notes about Terri's care and they were REMOVED from her records.

Unless of course, you are siding with Schiavo, that EVERYONE ELSE is a liar.

Why don't you educate yourself on the facts. I live in Bradenton. I have been following this case and did some research on my own. Schiavo is a monster. Who are you? Jodi the tramp? Or, Schiavo himself? Or his sleazy lawyer?
People posting on these threads know the history/story. You don't.

If you know the history, you will see that no one accused the "hospital" of destroying records in regards to the malpractice suit. I said that they were only acting on the scope of charges in the suit. Anything else that might have happened to Terri was not explored.

The records "cleaning" came AFTER the jury awarded money to both of them and he refused to get her therapy like he promised.

"In any case, it's illegal to destroy records that have been requested as a part of a law suit. "

Since when has the illegality of an act stopped a criminal from doing it? There's plenty of illegality going on in the Schiavo-Felos-Greer camp. The question is, does the state have the will to prosecute it? I would like to think so.
