Q. How do you feel about being married to Terri now. MS. I feel wonderful. She's my life and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I believe in my marriage vows.
Q. You believe in your wedding vows, what do you mean by that? MS. I believe in the vows I took with my wife, through sickness, in health, for richer or poor. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that.
She and the two kids better keep one eye open when they are sleeping. Mike might need some extra cash or a new honey in the future.
After reading his testimony - he's even more of a scumbag that I thought. Why is it so plain to even me and not to Greer and the rest of them? There's got to be some sort of fraud charges brought by the insurance companies.
Ping for later reading. Thanks for this article, waynebobo.
I heard that on Fox News last night. They interviewed the ex-girlfriend. She's terrified of the guy. She testified that he stalked her for months after they broke up. I can't remember if it was Gretta VanWeirdmouth, or O'reilly the arrogant that had her on. Sorry.
This is what confuses me. I keep hearing "we can't try to feed her orally, she might aspirate and die". Does anyone else find this ironically stupid?
Amen!!!!!!!!! The second time will be much easier for him.
Too bad Terri's folks never explored the possibility of having the marriage annulled based on the lack of cohabitation and Michael's adultery.

"....Quite the lady-killer was diminutive, dapper William Dale Archerd. Seven women marched down the aisle with the silver-haired half pint but only four survived their marriages.
Three other Mrs. Archerds, along with a nephew and two male acquaintances of the killer, died under mysterious circumstances over two decades.
Archerd got away with it so long because the weapon he used was not a gun, knife or poison, but a lifesaving medicine, a substance that occurs naturally in the human body and could not be traced....
Insulin, which regulates sugar in the blood, has been one of medicine's greatest success stories, a lifesaver for diabetics whose bodies do not produce adequate amounts of the hormone. The condition can be deadly.
But too much insulin also can kill, causing blood sugar levels to plunge and leading to convulsions, coma and death.
In the 1940s, doctors treated some forms of mental illness with insulin, in much the same way as electroshock therapy has been used....
"...The autopsy showed that she had died from "pneumonia secondary to hypoglycemic shock," not injuries from a car accident. Dr. Oliver Miller said he believed she had been injected with "insulin or some agent" that lowers blood sugar...."
BTTT
"...The lapse of time between the various offenses and the indictment of defendant on July 27, 1967, is considerable but is adequately explained by the record. The murder weapon in each case was unique, insulin. The deaths of each of these victims were initially attributed to causes other than a criminal agency. Suspicion of insulin and of defendant as the person administering the insulin was not aroused until the death of Zella in 1956. It was not until years later, after much painstaking and persistent investigation by law enforcement officers, and the discovery of advances made in {Page 3 Cal.3d 621} medical knowledge and techniques, that sufficient evidence could be accumulated to charge defendant with these deaths. Unfortunately, by then other of defendant's victims had lost their lives. This is the only known reported case of murder by insulin poisoning in the United States. Only one other, reported world-wide, occurred in England in 1956. ..."
"...Dr. Grace Fern Thomas, a psychiatrist and an expert in insulin shock therapy, and director of the insulin shock department at the time defendant was at Camarillo, testified as to the procedures on the ward. A precise dosage of insulin was measured for each person at a particular time. At a specific level that patient would go into shock in approximately two hours after the injection. Patients do not progress at the same level. Careful watch must be kept of the pulse, color, blood pressure, general condition, and neurological signs, such as pupillary changes and body motions. When a patient is going into progressive stages of coma he sweats very profusely and breathes very heavily. Saliva is secreted in large amounts, mucous flows freely and mixes with the saliva, and the patient must be carefully watched, turned, or assisted so that he does not aspirate the fluid into his lungs. Otherwise bronchopneumonia may develop, leading to death. The gag reflex and the cornea reflex are lost. Convulsions may occur, and medication is given to prevent this. The extremities may stiffen. At a relatively deep level of coma the Babinski test (scatching the sole of the foot in a certain manner) will cause a reflex known as the Babinski response (toes fan out). The patient must be brought out of the coma within 10-15 minutes thereafter. This is done by administering glucose through gastric tubes, and if this is not effective, glucose is administered intravenously to raise the blood sugar. If the brain is deprived of blood sugar for a prolonged period irreversible brain damage and death may result. As soon as a patient is fed glucose he awakens and is hungry. Only regular insulin was used in the ward because it was the only insulin where the time of coma could be calculated for therapeutic use. Injections began with small doses, very gradually increased over a three-week period..."
I guess a story about where he is in five years could prove to be very interesting.
Will the hospice be sued for keeping a woman long past the point where everyone knew she wasn't terminal? Isn't 6 months to a year the outside limit on hospice care?
Terri's former guardian, Dr. Jay Wolfson, also teaches at USF.
Dr. Jay Wolfson is director of the Florida Health Information Center at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
He is also a lawyer.
The University of South Florida is intimately connected to Hospice and Hospice of the Florida Suncoast (the corporate owner of the hospice where Terri was being dehydrated and starved, and where she is once again interned).
The USF website gives information on continuing professional education to be held at the University of South Florida's Center for Hospice, Palliative Care and End-of-Life Studies.
The University of South Florida, Dr. Jay Wolfson's employer, has a partnership with, among other hospice organizations, the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast.
How convenient! He's been all over the TV defending his prognosis.
Michael Schiavo is a conscienceless prick!!!!
Agree.

Atty. Weller's Motion -"I want to live!" (pdf format; See The Empire Journal.com for many more Articles)
"As a consequence of this circumstance, extensive urban mythology has created toxic clouds, causing the parties and others to behave in ways that may not, in the order of things, serve the best interests of the ward. "
Maybe Wolfson wants to clear himself cause he sure did not clear Mike in this statement. I know, I know, I am suppose to be quiet.
