once again, this was kept quiet by the husband. Why wasn't this reported to the authorities?
Dr Hammesfahr said in his interview that there was a meeting set up with Schiavo about the bone scan. Before the meeting, Schiavo moved Terri to another facility.
Dr Walkers testimony
As stated in the discharge summary dated May 9, 1990, the doctors involved in Terri’s care, while she was initially admitted and then remained as a patient at Humana Northside, did not know what caused Terri’s collapse the night of February 25, 1990, there was only speculation.
However, according to the discharge summary the doctor reported that Terri’s neck was somewhat stiff, as well as the rest of her body, the night that Terri was admitted to the hospital.
Since 1993, all medical information including all of Terri’s medical records have been sealed by Michael Schiavo’s orders. It was just prior to the January 2000 trial that they were released to the Schindler’s lawyer for review. At that time, there were volumes of information, containing thousands of unsystematic medical documents that the attorney was allowed to search through.
The discharge summary revealing the information regarding Terri’s neck was discovered only recently, and after Judge Greer made his original ruling, February 11, 2000, to discontinue Terri’s food and hydration.
This information regarding Terri’s neck is consistent with the 2002 testimony of Dr. Bamabkidis and Dr. Hammesfahr stating that they both noticed something abnormal with Terri’s neck, and also the additional testimony of Dr. Hammesfahr where he compared Terri’s neck to that of another patient he treated, which was caused by attempted strangulation.
