Someone needs to email the Hospice of Florida and Felos and ask um why Terri was kept in such isolation for THREE YEARS , especially considering that she was not dying and had not received all other avenues of rehabilitation or cure. That is the foundations of Hospice. How come Felos and Michael were able to circumvent it and put Terri on medicaid, to boot?

I agree. That is what made me sit up and take notice. I love Hospice and what it does. But this is the very first time I have ever seen someone who
a. Wasn't endstage
b. Stayed more than 6 months (Three years is 6 times the regular stay!)

And the medicaid thing (like HELLO! where is the umpteen dollars hubby got for Terri??) It stinks.

Medicaid? Really?
