NEVER FORGET
Reprinted from NewsMax.com Tuesday, March 22, 2005 9 a.m. EST
Terri's Former Nurse Accuses Michael Schiavo From April 1995 to August 1996, Carla Sauer Iyer was one of Terri Schiavo's caretakers at Palm Garden in Largo, Fla.
This morning on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" program, she gave a frightening account of Michael Schiavo's actions and words, and also a hopeful description of Terri Schiavo's condition at that time. Ms. Iyer said that Terri could: Interact with staff. Laugh. Talk - saying words like "mommy," "help me" and "hi." Let you know if she was in pain. React reflexively on command. Interviewer Steve Doocey asked Carla why, in her opinion, Michael Schiavo was not telling people this. She answered that she believes "he wants her to die." Doocey then revealed that Carla was fired from the care facility because of a disagreement with Michael Schiavo in an incident where she claims he injected Terri with insulin. Ms. Iyer said that after Michael visited Terri one day for about 20 minutes, with the door shut, she went in after he left and saw Terri sweating, lethargic and "crying hysterically." Carla checked Terri's blood sugar, and it was barely reading on the glucometer. She also saw a vial of "insulin concealed in the trash bin." According to Carla, there were needle marks underneath Terri's breast, under her arms and near her groin. Carla talked to the police and then went to the director of nursing, who was very upset that Carla had gone to the police. She doesn't think Michael Schiavo was a caring husband and claimed to Fox News that he refused to send Terri to rehabilitation of any kind. Doocey then said that he had heard a story from another nurse who tried to feed Terri, and when Michael Schiavo found out about it, in Doocey's words, "it all hit the fan." Carla concurred, saying that Terri could be fed by mouth - jello and pudding, etc. - without aspirating, but that when Michael found out Terri was being fed by mouth, he told the nurses he was going to get them fired. Doocey then asked Carla why she was coming forward now. She answered that she wanted "to let the truth be known. I was one of the very few people who was able to see Terri. She would interact with all the visitors. ... I want everyone to see Terri."
NEVER FORGET

There is no "right to die" issue here IMO. I think enough allegations have been exposed to arouse the deepest suspicions of all of us. There is enough, IMO, to order the re-insertion of the feeding tube and for a criminal investigation to begin.
Original Post:
Why can't the public and the courts stay out of this. Let Terri go home and be with her family who is more than willing to care for her. Where is the harm?
Did you forget to read what I wrote?
I understand that Michael Shiavo is a registered nurse. There are lots of things available to medical people that aren't available to the general public, including substances that can be used in the commission of violence. If Terry had died from her supposed "heart attack," an autopsy might have revealed some interesting things.
Good grief, what is with all the grasping at straws here? The judge made his ruling, and its time to move on. Its over. And the "never forget" slogan and its Holocaust insinuation is a BIT much, dont you think? Comparing the slaughter of 6 million Jews to Terri?
Unbelievable and disgusting. Also I believe, illegal. If it has been used to treat a patient, it is medical waste. I don't believe it can be resold.
They probably both see the point, but recognize that a woman being starved and dehydrated will die faster than illegal aliens can be rounded up and deported.
That is why there is more urgency about Terri's fight.
My guess is that the nursing home fingered her because they can be brought in on a law suit for neglect and abuse, so they got rid of her to cover-up their own neglect. State law comes down hard on nursing home neglect of the disabled and elderly. At least in my state they do, but I don't know about Fla. If this had happened in my state, the Attorney General would call for a full investigation and shut the nursing home down. Can't wait to see what they do in Fla. now.
I have been trying to make the same point for a while. (comparing this to the Holocaust). If only we made this big of a deal about the illegal immigration DISASTER that has been taking place for MANY YEARS, maybe we could get somewhere

You make a great point and I do not disagree. My problem is they are making little if any effort to solve the problem of illegals, which consequently has been a problem for a long long time
Unbelievable....how can someone be so cruel?
He's always used the "never forget" slogan. I must've missed the holocaust reference comparing the slaughter of 6 million jews to terri. I can see a Dr. mengele comparison. Only a nazi could come up with a "right to die".
Hannity had a doctor on his radio program yesterday who had spent a combined 10 hours with Terri during three visits. He states that she clearly understands English. She attempts to speak. She smiles and responds positively to her mother being in the room. She turned her body in order to peer out the window when the scene outside was described to her.
He says that there is no way this woman is PVS.
Is this true?? What is the Doctors name? If this is the case, what of the several other doctors who state the complete opposite. Who is right?

It's Big Bully MICHAEL that's preventing TERRI from returning to the arms of her loving family for proper care.
As MICHAEL is busy making babies with someone else.
It's MICHAEL that wants TERRI dead.
So go ask MICHAEL for the answer to your question.

Don't give this too much credibility. Just because Rush pushes this as truth does not mean it is correct, or any other source. I'd like to see her recover, but if she remains in that set condition for the remainder of her life, God be with her and let her die but quickly and painles.
If we allow this woman to be executed by her husband, supported by judicial fiat, what kind of nation will we be?
Would our Founders recognize us?
I fear not. We are becoming the Fourth Reich. This is not what I joined up to serve, and this isn't what you fought for. We have to fight harder, but how?
why do you believe Michael is trying to kill his wife? Provide PROOF, evidence. I guarantee if Michael saw what you wrote and decided to sue your butt, he'd win and as you base it on hearsay.
Yes, it is "true". I did not get the doctor's name. How do you suppose Dr. Kevorkian would testify if he he used as an "expert witness".
On the other hand, why would there be several nurses and a doctor who are telling these stories? What do they have to gain?
Precisely. And so I am...
