In 7:25 break, anchor reported "Terri Schiavo was rushed to a Pinellas County emergency room last night after nursing home staff noticed puncture wounds on her arm. The wounds appeared to be caused by a hypodermic needle! Toxicology tests were conducted but the results are not available yet!"
This could open a huge new round in this case. What did tests reveal? Who was last person in room? When was husband there? Was staffer trying the Angle of Death routine?
This will be developing hard all day!
FOR DISINFORMATION MINISTERS ON THIS THREAD
This thread is in breaking news because mysterious hypodermic puncture wounds on Terri's arms are being investigated as a possible crime. It's relevant that in the past few weeks Terri was found (by her parents) to be missing first one tooth, and then a few days ago a second tooth. She was found in the past few weeks to have a pressure wound. Several weeks ago she was having a mysterious episode of vomiting, which is life-threatening to someone on a feeding tube.
Terri's parents haven't been able to get any response from the nursing or medical staff as to the cause of the missing teeth, the vomiting, or the pressure sore. Michael Schiavo has ordered that no medical information be provided to Terri's parents, despite an earlier court order that they be provided all medical information. Yesterday Judge Greer dismissed the Schindler's contempt motion that would have forced Michael to comply with the earlier court order.
Something is happening to Terri in this nursing home, and it may be coming to a head with this criminal investigation.
When will the family get to visit Terri again? ONLY THE SCHIAVO KNOWS.
LOL! I have a friend who takes the cap off with her teeth and then "shoots" the cap right out of her mouth into the waste can. She never misses! I tried it once and only managed to drool all over myself, so I never got into the habit.
The facts, just the facts.
I have quoted original sources:
The State of Florida, to establish that "Doctor" Hammesfahr has been found guilty of exploiting patients for financial gain and ordered to pay over $54,000 in fine and court costsToo bad that the facts upset up.
"Doctor" Hammesfahr's own website to prove that he's proud of being published in the scholarly peer-reviewed "National Enquirer"
Th Wolfson Report by Court-Appointed Guardian Jay Wolfson, to prove that Terri's parents have no intention to respect Terri's wishes, whether those wishes are clearly known or not
The Wave Galaxy Group's own website, to prove that those "doctors" are not medical doctors but "alternative medicine" posers
Pro-life World Net Daily, to proof that Terri's parents used Wave Galaxy "doctors" to provide surreptitious "therapy" to Terri
Dr. Novella's article to substantiate that "Doctor" Hammesfahr is considered a quack by at least some of his peers.
Read: "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY VIEW OTHER THAN MINE!"
If you don't want others to see and comment on all aspects of the case, take it to FReepmail.
Further, we are doing sign protests at Park Place Assisted Living every day starting at 5:00 pm. TONIGHT WE START. Something's not right. Greer denies the Schindler's Contempt Motion against Michael, Michael finds five puncture wounds but there's no substances in Terri's labs, Felos blames the parents, Clearwater PD investigate. Michael cuts off visitation until the PD is done. We have trolls who will be unsuccessful in hijacking this thread.
WE HAVE ALERTED THE MEDIA AND OUR LEADERS which is "key". We have called our non-Florida friends to work the Beltway and the media. HELP US - IT'S EASY.

I'll shut up.
This is an emotional issue for some posters in FR, and they do not want to read facts or opinions that might question their viewpoint.
I jumped on this thread because it was posted on the highly visible BREAKING NEWS bar, which is the most efficient way to attract comments to a story.
I'll let them go back to the echo chamber mode... only one viewpoint is welcome on this thread.
From lonevoice's post #202....
I have not read ANY explanation for the missing teeth, or the vomiting episode, bedsore...

Getting off the net - it's been a long day. Terri's supporters were either up all night or started early this morning.
Terri: "Where there's life there's hope." fregards, floriduh voter
That is both one of the most foolish and most dangerous comment of this entire thread.
Neither Michael or his lawyer are fanatics. They have the preponderance of law on their side. They have enjoyed a string of legal victories. They have the majority of public opinion on their side, as measured in all RANDOM polls.
This is a LEGAL case, not some religious court or Star Chamber proceeding. It is in court, not the streets.
Like it or not, the parents have made some incredibly bad legal, therapeutic and PR decisions.
The worst thing we can do is keep attacking the motives of the husband and his lawyer. The hyperbole makes us all seem like weirdos.
They had a tv-vcr at this press conference wherein they showed that Terri was responsive and communicative. Doing so was forbidden. THIS IS HARD BALL, there's no question about that.
Sorry, wrong.
The tacit approval by the parents of fraudulent quacks and charlatans, and non-lawyer lawyers appealing to the UN makes it harder, much harder to prevail in the other, official arenas.
