Hospice is truly intended to provide palliative care, not long term nursing needs. Maybe Michael wanted to perhaps deny her the long term care by depriving her of all the care and rehabilitation she needed.
Being trapped in a Hospice was a way to completely control Terri..keep her out of sight and mind, laugh at the crys of the Schindlers who were to be ignored because they were simply parents in denial, and, it goes without saying, that michael could justify his total lack of love and compassion for Terri, his total denial of offering her any therapy or testing or outings into the sunshine, or visits from friends, etc., by keeping her in a hospice, recognized by all of us, as a place where terminally ill people are helped to pass over.
It is against the laws of the hospice foundation to hasten death or accept non terminally ill patients.
Terri was neither...but she survived in that house of death for almost FIVE YEARS.
You talk about someone wanting to LIVE!
It is astounding and extremely hurtful at the same time to consider the fraud and contempt and trashing and abuse that michael schiavo and felos and mary labyak laid upon this human being.
Ya think. I thought Michael's goal was to follow her wishes by having her life terminated since she was in persistant vegetative state. When she was placed in hospice, Michael had already gone to court to have the feeding tube removed. He didnt plan on hospice being a long term situation. It only became that due to meddling by others.
