Regarding the assertion that Terri was dieting just prior to the "incident":
What you quoted said "IT APPEARED", in other words, there was no definite evidence, that Terri was drinking nothing but ice tea.
They just replayed Larry King's interview with Michael Schiavo, conducted on Oct. 27, 2003. LK asked MS, about what was going on prior to the incident, MS said, that when she saw Terri, "SHE WOULD EAT AND EAT", and that they have been trying to conceive a child in that period. He also proposed, that PERHAPS Terri suffered from bulimia, but all he ever saw was her eating, not that she ever vomited anything back -- one would think that the husband would know. Also, if they were trying to conceive a child, it doesn't make sense, that Terri would go on some crash diet.
I know what the medical record said, but it just said "it appeared" and they probably asked guess who, Terri's husband about it. So when was he lying?
at least one of Schiavo's friends testified they knew she was bulimic because after meals out, she always immediately excused herself to go to the bathroom. Her husband also knew she had peculiar eating patterns but did not realize they were dangerous, Fox said.
Also, if they were trying to conceive a child, it doesn't make sense, that Terri would go on some crash diet.
An eating disorder is a psychological disease one that requires lots of therapy - it's not a crash diet. Bulimia goes a lot deeper than wanting to quickly shed a few unwanted pounds in a hurry. What I'm trying to say is that Terri may have wanted to conceive but the overwhelming need to be thin could have trumped that.
