...side of them. We had one of the nurses on a few days ago who had treated terrI for a year. She claims that in her opinion, michael had no love for his wife and may have attempted to kill her by injecting her with insuliN. What's your reaction to those sort he allegations?
>> They're lies. As simple as thaT. They were circulated in this case years ago, they were brought to court, they were examined, they were rejected, they were called by the court incredible. This person wasn't a nurse at the time. What we've seen is just an amazing smear campaign and campaign of misinformation about mr. Schiavo. The court found that terri -- this is the words of the court. That terri is blessed with a loving husband michael who has done his utmost to care for her. The guardian appointed who did an extensive investigation in 2003 said there is -- that those charges have no substance to them. And you know, when you don't have the law on your side, and you don't have the facts on your side in a case, what you do is you spread misinformation and untruth and that's what that is.
E.D.: You refer to that 2003 guardian report, which by coincidence, i happen to have in my hands. You are absolutely correct in what you -- what you assert there, but in it, the court-appointed guardian, who was looking at michael's request to withdraw the feeding tube, says thiS. He says, michael schiavo's testimony regarding the basis for his decision to withdraw life support based on a conversation he had with his wife is not clear and convincing, and he says that et reason he is concerned about it is because of the obvious financial benefit to michael of being the sole heir at law to the $700,000 plus, and some people suggest that that is the reason he wanted to take her off life support, to in essence let her die to get the money.
>> Well, number one, you're reading from a report from 1999. Not the 2003 report that was entereD. And the -- E.D.: This is the 2003 report, and it is contained in there and i just read verbatim out of iT.
>> Well, what you're reading from then is the 2003 2003 guardian summary of what the 1999 report said, because mR. Wolffson in 2003 didn't say thaT. There is no --
E.D.: That is what the person who was -- who reported to the court, the disinterested party, said.
>> In 1999. And that -- and that person testified in the trial, in the year 2000, and found that had he heard the testimony of the friend joan and the brother-in-law, that he may very well have sided with michael in his report. But the -- but the real -- the real fact is that these issues have been -- have been decided and litigated over and over and over again. There is no money for mr. Schiavo to in heart. I mean, the -- inherit. The real issue happening in the state of florida, can the governor, who just simply disagrees with the court order, overturn it because he doesn't like it, and we're in a constitutional crisis down here because the governor is if tent on using the branches of the state government to try to subvert a court order. It's absolutely shocking that we had to go to court and get an order restraining the state from abusing terri when it should be the state that protects its citizens.
E.D.: Well, all the legal aspects are playing out in the court and we get thousands, thousands of emails every day from people about this on both sides, weighing in in support of mierkal and in support of the parents, but here are just a couple of things that people always question us about, so maybe you can tell uS. Why didn't michael divorce terri when he decided to become involved with another woman and have children with her?
(VERY LONG PAUSE BY Felos at this point...)
>> Michael is dedicated to terri, he loves terri, he made a promise to terri. When she turned to him and said honey, if something like that happens to me, looking at somebody, an accident, please don't keep me alive, take the tubes out. He knew if he walked away, her wishes wouldn't be carried out. Love is inphi night. When you have a -- infinite. When you have a child and you have a second child, you don't love the second child any lelS. The fact that michael loves two women and he's been fortunate enough to find someone after terrI's cardiac arrest that he could share part of his life, i think is a good thing.
E.D.: But you know, a lot of people would say, well, you may love your spouse, the spouse, if she were in any way able to understand what was going on, certainly wouldn't be looking favorable live upon her husband living with someone else and fathering children?
>> Why do you say that? I think terri loved michael. I think terri would want michael to be happy and to have some degree of happiness in his lifE. So i disagree with you.
E.D.: All right. The other question that we're constantly asked, is michael clearly has made the decision that he does not feel that she can come back, that she can regain her consciousness, really her ability to understand, to move intentionally, to come out of this persist at this vegetative state. Her parents on the other hand and I think a lot of parents can relate to this hope, feel that with therapy and advancement in medicine she could at some poinT. Why doesn't michael simply give the guardianship to the parents and say listen, I've done all i can for her, now i understand that you hope that she can remain alive, that she can come back to us, here, it's your ball now?
>> Well, a couple of thingS. First, it's just not michael's opinion that there's no hope of recovery. That's the conclusion of the court after extensive evidence and testimony and science. You know, there's so much misinformation about that, but the fact is terri can't recover. But the main point is, you have a woman, terri, who made her own choice, who said to many people, that she didn't -- she did not want to be kept alive through tubes, she didn't want to be kept alive artificially, so once the court found that those are her wishes, it's out of michael's hands. The court has said whomever is terrI's guardian must carry out what she wanted, so if michael resigned today as guardian and someone else were appointed they would have to do the same thing he's doing now and that's because each of us have a fundamental right to make that choice. When -- you know, no one controls our bodY. It's up to us to decide whether we want medical treatment and we don'T. Terri made that decision, she has the right to have that decision carried out.
E.D.: All right. Well we appreciate you joining...(END)
Tuning out.
Check link in post #39. He's on a mission from god. I use the lower g intentionally. He's a freaking nutcase IMO in a position to wreak a lot of havoc.
Check out the link in post #39. Felos is on a mission from god and he knows how the preborn and unconscious think because he can do "soul speak.
Add his wife on the list of whacks
Felos is the new version of Dr. Kevorkian
well, let's see now - if most of the money that was supposed to go to Terri for therapy - which was denied all these years - but if the lawyers got a reported $750,000 of it - and if, as some say, she is now on medicare - which is notoriously slow to pay - then she's now a liability to the hospice as well as to that POS husband-in-name-only
she has been there FIVE years - illegally - as hospice is ONLY for TERMINAL patients, which she wasn't - and for patients who are expected to not live longer than 6 months.
She has been allowed NO therapy of stimulation or even regular medical treatment for colds or urinary infections...nor allowed to be taken outside the tiny room, let alone outside in a wheelchair, which she is capable of,...
How do you think ANYONE would look after ten years of that treatment?
And there have been, for years, testimony from nursing personnel that after Michael has been alone with her, she is very agitated, sometimes crying.
Oh, I forgot, that can't be so - she's a vegetable (sarc)
We are on the same page, Seems I may have erred on the time she spent at Hospice. Seems this fact should have raised questions to the judges. AS I said on another page, she is being murdered.
