NEW Neurosurgeon WAS at Terri's bedside Today--says Terri is misdiagnosed
CNN 5:PM PT Anderson Cooper on | 3/23/05 | gentlestrength

Posted on 03/23/2005 5:35:31 PM PST by gentlestrength

The spiritual advisor of the Schindlers, Bro. O'Donnell, said the Dept. of Children and Families has had a new physician examine Terri and that "he DID go into her room and WAS at her side and DID observe her."

Department of Children and Families, are the department if someone is being physically abused, or the elderly, and "they have the authority" to take her into protective custody.

He continued, "what is being done to her now constitutes" that, and that DCF should "be taking her into protective custody."

Cooper: "Aren't people being taken off feeding tubes all the time?" Brother O'Donnell: "When they're DYING. But she was not dying. She could live another 20, 40 years."

"She's the only person who has been COURT ORDERED to have her tubes removed. Not 'The guardian MAY" but the guardian 'shall' remove her tubes."

CNN checked on the facticity of this last claim, and found that "There is ONLY ONE other case, Nancy Beth Cuzan in which the court ordered the tube MUST be removed."

Dr.Sanjay Gupta says if Terri is in the minimally conscious state, her eyes open spontaneously. She must do one of the following: --follow simple commands (to show she can hear and understand) --give yes or no responses

Peach,
Unless you are medically trained AND have read this, I suggest you restrain yourself from sniping so smartly.

"You can find doctor to bolster whatever point of view you need to make ... it happens in courts-of-law across America
all the time. You pay their expenses and throw in a handsome gratuity and voila ... you get the opinion requested."

B I N G O !

Who do you think got to choose the Dr's who testified in Terri's case?

The one GAL said that Michael Schiavo should NOT be her guardian, he had financial tangles that made him unfit to do this. He was removed from the case, by Greer, and Greer took the job over.

Sarah Scantlin was mis-diagnosed for 20 years. She was in a vegetative condition, and after she woke up they said she was mis-diagnosed and was really in a coma.

2/11/2005
Sarah Scantlin was 18 years old when, as a pedestrian, she was injured in a hit-and-run accident that left her in a vegetative condition, aware of her surroundings but unable to speak or move.

Since that time, she has been in a care centre in the Midwest US state of Kansas.

Scantlin´s parents unexpectedly received a phone call last week from the nursing home where their now 38-year-old daughter resides.

However, instead of the call being about Sarah, it was actually from Sarah.

"Hi mum," she said to her mother.

The words were a shock and a joy for Scantlin´s parents.

"There´s just no words," mother Betsy Scantlin told a CBS television news show. "I´ve just laughed ever since because it´s just so amazing."

"Do you get the feeling that Felos and this Judge are hiding a lot? No judge is going out on a limb like this unless he is in on a scam or is being blackmailed IMHO. Felos IMHO is calling the shots so what is he hiding about this hospice"

I can smell the stench from the bench up here.

This doctor that saw her today is saying she has the same thing that Senator Frist said it looked like to him and some neurologist friends of his that looked at the tapes and medical records of Terris---

THAT was the impetus for Sen. Frist to push Congress for some kind of legislation to help Terri, he saw her potential---

BTW, Chrissy Matthews called some guy on his show tonight a liar when he said that some of the DEM Senators were just as eager as Sen. Frist to help Terri---

I was watching C-span 2 that night and I saw both Kent Conrad and Tom Harkin give floor speeches in favor of helping Terri--Chrissy just is making the biggest fool of himself trying to "get Bush"....

I'm always amazed by the concern for Terri's health from people WHO INSIST SHE DIE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Yupper.

Ever have the urge to say something not Christ-like when your child tells you a bold faced lie?

I'm talking a teenager, telling a very, very bad one.

After you have a few seconds to clinch your teeth and remember how foul you were to your own parents, you can then say, "I love you. Now go to your room. You're ground ed for 3 days."

I think that's much better than yelling or even whispering words that you cannot unwhisper....

There has been this amazing story in the Irish news this week about an Irish guy who suffered three strokes after an ex-girlfriend hit him in the head with a bottle on New Years Eve five years ago.

He went from being a healthy guy, to being in a practically vegatative state - with a feeding tube. Doctors told his parents he would never be any better etc., and even suggested he should be allowed to die. His parents were having none of it, and spent thousands trying to get him therapy.

They sent him to CHINA. Three months on, he's now WALKING with a stick - all from the therapy etc.

When I read it, I couldn't get Terri out of my head.

Fame for helping to forge the New World Order.

Actually the U.N. and the socialists/liberals are the Old World Order, which Judge Greer is supporting. The New World Order, the Bush brothers, the Republicans in the D.C. House and Senate want Terri to LIVE!!!!

I don't want to grow old in this country.

If this sort of thing continues, that will be the least of your worries.

I am praying that they'll all face murder charges. Nothing wrong with praying for Divine Justice. Why not pray for what you really want? The Lord knows our hearts anyway -- no use sugar-coating it. HE doesn't have to do it if He thinks it is wrong. But He might just agree.

Peach, really. Why waste time reading court documents when you you can base your 'expert opinions' on what the 'experts' on an internet website say.

BTW, isn't it almost time for another "Michael was mean to Terri" story. It's been a few hours since the last one. Gotta make sure all these people get their 15 minutes while they still can!

I know what you mean. Someone did something awful to me and I hated her for about 9 mos. Then one day I said, through clenched teeth, OK God I forgive her! Took awhile after that but now we're best friends again. But it was definitely forced at first.

After 90 minutes he can't make a diagnosis? How long should he spend with her before he's allowed to diagnose her? There needs to be a specific amount of time between his examination and diagnosis?

Who knew? The things I learn everyday.

Next time I visit the doctor I must remember to remind him that he needs to stick to the required time limits between examination and diagnosis.

Heaven forbid he gets a diagnosis speeding ticket.

Excuse me, but MY God loves justice and wants us to step in for his disabled children. I think He might just be ok with seeing Michael Schiavo in a Murder Trial. Justice. Not just love everyone.
