Kate Adamson: who was in a PVS condition contradicts the lie, that it’s “painless to be starved to death"

Recovered “Vegetative State” Patient Kate Adamson Speaks Before Schiavo Rally

“One of the most painful experiences you can imagine." Unable to respond or to indicate awareness, Kate Adamson asserts, “I was just like Terri…but I was alive! I could hear every word. They were saying ‘shall we just not treat her?’...I suffered excruciating misery in silence.”

Struck down in 1995 at the age of thirty-three by a rare double brainstem stroke, Kate, then a mother of two young girls, was completely paralyzed; she was unable even to blink her eyes. Like Terri Schiavo, the medical staff treating her questioned the merit of continuing granting Kate the most basic human right of food and water. "I suffered excruciating misery in silence.”

Kate Adamson’s feeding tube was at one point removed for a full eight days before being reinserted due to the intervention of her husband (also a competent lawyer).

This is Kate today (thanks to a loving husband who did not give up on her)

This is inspiring and shows the result of having a loving, caring spouse. Too bad Terri doesn't have a spouse who loves her and cares for her.

Kate Adamson: who was in a PVS condition contradicts the lie, that it’s “painless to be starved to death"

Her story seems to indicate she never really was in a PVS condition, but was misdiagnosed.
