[I still care]

"She has no awareness, no consciousness. She's in a contracted state. Her hands, her arms, her legs are contracted." - Michael Schiavo, on Larry King.

OK, let's let someone with expertise in this area handle this one, because I don't know. But one of the nurses testified that Michael wouldn't let her give range of motion exercises to ease contractures or put a cloth in her hand to keep her hands from closing. He wanted her to have no therapy at all, she said. (Michael claimed the nurses are just mad and lying in their affidavits cause he yelled at them.)

So who is telling the truth here. If she had gotten proper therapy, would she be totally contracted?

If she had gotten proper therapy, would she be totally contracted?

If she had gotten therapy she would be much less contracted, I think.
