Schindler's attorney Pat Anderson to appear on Fox News with reaction to Michael on Larry King

Oct 28, 2003

[amdgmary]

The Schindler's attorney, Pat Anderson, and Terri's brother Bobby Schindler will appear on Greta Van Susteren on Fox News at 10 p.m. EST with reaction to Michael's appearance on Larry King Live.

Dr. Hammesfahr will be on Hannity and Colmes at 9:00 pm EST, the same time Michael Schiavo will appear on Larry King Live.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Thanks for the ping.

I watched the smarmy husband on Larry King tonight. When King asked him why he thought Terri's parents were doing this, he looked disgusted and replied, "To make my life hell."

One can only hope.

>>>Greta: That same day, in the same deposition, he said this: "I put a - after speaking with my doctor, I gave an order not to treat a bladder infection Terri had." The attorney then asked a question, "So when you made that decision not to treat Terri's bladder infection, you in effect, were making a decision to allow her to pass on?" Michael Schiavo: "I was making a decision on what Terri would want."

THIS MAN (?) IS A REAL PIECE OF WORK! Any woman who has had a bladder infection will tell you the pain is EXCRUCIATING!!! It makes having a baby feel like passing gas by comparison! A non-disabled woman with cystitis or a bladder infection wants to get on the floor on hands and knees and writhe in agony until pain relief comes with antibiotics.

So Michael not only wanted to kill his wife but make it as PAINFUL as possible.

Then he gets on Larry King tonight and says that death by starvation and dehydration is PAINLESS!!! Uh, how about asking Nazi concentration camp victims who are still alive as to how "painless" it was to almost starve to death until you look like a skeleton!!!

Michael and George Felos are from the pit of hell. Literally. Here is a man who is willing to allow his TWO CHILDREN to be born illegitimate rather than marry his "girlfriend", whom he claims did more for Terri than "her own mother"!!!! If Terri's mother wasn't able to do much for Terri it was because MICHAEL WANTED IT THAT WAY.

>> Does anyone have that link to the Cat-Scan?

Not offhand, but I remember Patricia Anderson (Terri's lawyer) being aghast when she saw the bone scans. She sent them at once to three doctors, and all three of them told her that the victim (Terri) had been beaten. She then took the findings to Judge Greer and asked for time to do discovery. He denied her motion, saying that the scans were all very interesting but had nothing to do with Terri's condition at this time.

That's from memory. Pat Anderson gave the interview Saturday on the Barbara Simpson show (dear old KSFO).

I hope someone here addresses this. Hammesfahr definitely said that potassium wasn't the issue and there was NO heart attack.
Couple of q's for the MD's here. Is there a difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest? Can either condition be determined by blood tests hours/days later? Would potassium levels remain low hours after a heart attack or cardiac arrest? If low K can cause cardiac arrest, what about the converse---can cardiac arrest cause low K? If they determined at the hospital that Terri had both a cardiac arrest AND low K, how did they know which came first?

[Dajjal]

Thanks for the transcripts of the interviews.

-cardiac arrest -- heart stops beating -- can be caused by numerous reasons beyond a heart condition, such as strangulation.

Here's the bone scan report. It must have been posted here earlier or I wouldn't have it. I copied this by hand. The printing was pretty fuzzy and I'm not a doc, so I'll just hope I didn't screw up too many of the $17 words :-)

Nurses? Doctors? Have a look and explain this in laymen's terms, please?

BONE SCAN:
Indication: Evaluate for trauma

Procedure and findings. Multiple gamma camera images of the axial and proximal appendicular skeleton in the anterior and posterior projections were obtained, following 21.1 millicuries of Technetium 99m HDP.

There are an extensive number of focal abnormal areas of nuclide accumulation of intense type. These include multiple bilateral ribs, the costovertebral aspects of several of the thoracic vertebral bodies, the L1 vertebral body, both sacroiliac joints, the distal right femoral diaphysis, both knees, and both ankles, right greater than the left. Correlative radiographs are obtained of the lumbar spine and of the right femur which reveal compression fracture, minor, superior end plate of L1 and shaggy irregular periosteal ossification along the distal femoral diaphysis and metaphysis primarily ventrally.

The patient has a history of trauma, most likely the femoral periosteal reaction reflects a response to a subperiosteal hemorrhage and the activity in L1 correlates perfectly with the compression fracture which is presumably traumatic. The presumption is that the other multiple areas of abnormal activity also relate to previous trauma. Additional possibility would be neoplastic bone disease, widespread disseminated infectious bone disease or multiple bone infarcts from abnormal hemoglobin.

CONCLUSION
Multiple areas of abnormal scintigraphic accumulation some of which are radiograph for differential as discussed above.

If you have a moment, could you please look at Post #48 -- a 1991 bone scan on Terri Schiavo... Did she get beaten?

Ashcroft--NO!!!

Mafia (or something like it)--Well, I could be wrong, but. . .

What doesn't make sense to me, is potassium imbalance (whether hypokalemia[low] or hyperkalemia[high]) is not without symptoms, and sometimes severe symptoms at that.
If she was being monitored by doctors for infertility it seems incomprehensible that some notation of potassium imbalance symptoms wouldn't be on her charts. Not knowing the details of the malpractice lawsuit, I don't know if there was and the doctors didn't do anything or what. It would also seem logical she would have complained to friends or family.
Potassium imbalance can result in cardiac arrest, but an imbalance that severe surely would have produced noticable symptoms beforehand (as was obviously alleged in the lawsuit).
Now, unless it was very early on in the fertility issue, one would think they would have done blood work for hormone levels etc. I've never been to an OB/Gyn checkup where they didn't do at least routine blood work.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to make an informed assessment without the intimate details of the malpractice case and other events surrounding Terri.

[LadyDoc]

the ct scan is suspicious of trauma. In an older person with osteoporosis,or someone with brain damage who was brain damaged, it could be from a fall or from minor trauma, such as transferring the patient wrong or a seizure or coughing too hard. If it was a child, we would diagnose child abuse.

In a healthy person, it is trauma, which is why the CT was done. (Fractured ribs often don't show on regular x rays)

My question is why the doctor's lawyeers didn't bring it up in the "malpractice" suit? Did they settle out of court in fear of a larger money reward from a sympathetic jury (who will give huge amounts out of sympathy even when no medical malpractice had occured)...

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I really thought he (MS) came off ( On larry King) as not having a good command of the topic, and being very cold hearted and angry. He even said at one point, when aksed why the schindlers were doing this ( fighting to keep Terri allive) , he replied, while chuckling, "I guess to make my life hell"

So this man who is so lucky to love two women( what he said on LK last night) , and walks around day and night, has a family and a job, has a life that is "hell" because the parents of his diabled wife want to keep her alive?

He wants her to starve and dehydrate to people death, and his life is "hell"?

No not yet, Michael, I think you will see soon that you had it very good these last few years , real Hell awaits as the nation wakes up to your evil plan, and sees you for the monster you are.

"Hell "awaits......... because we are not going to go away until there is justice for Terri , for her family and for the other people who may have been , or who find themselves in the same situation as Terri.

[Dante3]

It's obvious Judge Greer is somehow inplicated. Maybe he has an agend, has accepted bribes, or is blackmailed. Or it oculd be that he is just a sadistic sociopath.

[Just mythoughts]

For this to be accurate then this involves alot of people from the beginning.

A heart attack diagnosed, yet no mention of fractures? So what is really going on here and why so many still refuse to take a look?

How did the "husband" get so many to "help" him, what could they possibly have to gain?

Why has this man not divorced her if he wants a "another" life?

[Bluebird Singing]

"So this man who is so lucky to love two women( what he said on LK last night) , and walks around day and night, has a family and A JOB, has a life that is "hell" because the parents of his diabled wife want to keep her alive?"

Did you hear him say he became a registered nurse and works in ER? I think I read that he became a nurse so he could better care for Terri. (Maybe he used some or her malpractice settlement for his education.) Nursing school is pretty intense - I wonder how he had time to do that and take care of Terri also.

Also curious how his girlfriend reacted to finding he has no marriage plans? She sure won the prize!

[Bluebird Singing]

There would be blood work showing elevated cardiac enzymes if she had suffered a heart attack. Anybody remember whether this has been shown?

[Bluebird Singing]

Also, if someone was strangled, do you think that would lead to a heart attack?

[Just mythoughts]

Looks like all medical records from birth on that are still available should have a look see.

I am not a doctor, however, it is amazing that she has survived this long with a bad heart.

Looks like the Flordia Attorney General's office should set up a "special" investigation so that for once and all, all could see what this woman's medical status really is.
