The nurses are also under the threat of being fired if they do anything Mr. Schiavo construes to be rehabilitative in nature.
I have seen that as well.
From an October 2003 CNSNews report on the case:
"If the Schindlers wish to visit their daughter before she dies, Bushnell explained that they and any other visitors pre-approved by the court must abide by all of the conditions of a March 24, 2000, court order that, among other things, forbade them from photographing or videotaping Terri. Terri's family is also forbidden to have her examined by any physician without pre-approval from the court. Pamela Hennessy, spokeswoman for the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, called the move "entirely senseless" and described it as the Schiavo legal team's "last attempt at cruelty."
