Injury Report Prompted Schiavo Cremation Plans
Newsmax ^ | 3/28/05 | unknown

Posted on 03/28/2005 1:26:35 AM PST by beyond the sea

Michael Schiavo decided to have his wife's body cremated after her parents' lawyers obtained medical records showing she had sustained broken bones, a nurse who cared for Terri Schiavo is now claiming.

"He wanted her cremated after the bone fractures and dislocations were found," nurse Carla Sauer Iyer, who cared for Terri in the mid-1990s while she was at the Palm Gardens Convalescent Center, told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity on Friday.

"He immediately went to court and [said he] wanted her body cremated at that time," she said, "after we got hold of the records that proved there were dislocations and fractures."

A 1991 report on a bone scan performed on Terri Schiavo states:

"There are an extensive number of focal abnormal areas ... These include: multiple bilateral ribs ... both sacroiliac joints ... both knees and both ankles."

Radiographs reveal "compression fractures" of the spine and right femur. ... "Compression fracture presumably traumatic," the report says.

Nurse Iyer said she recently contacted Palm Gardens to encourage co-workers who also cared for Terri to speak out - but said they have been muzzled.

"The administrator had gotten them together and they talked about what happened with Michael," Iyer told Hannity. "The people who have worked with Terri who are still there, they cannot talk to reporters - they would be terminated."

"...showing she had sustained broken bones..."

It gets uglier and uglier...

Felos: Starving Terri looks "beautiful"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1371803/posts

I wonder if Felos dropped in to admire Terri's latest 'beauty improvements' today. And we have all these nutjobs wanting to give her water. The NERVE of them! They would ruin the affect of her beautiful, cracked lips. /sarcasm.

WE know murder is legal in Florida, but surely there is something on the statutes about conspiracy to prevent justice?

"I am very glad that she is speaking out. For those people who are not it must be ripping them up inside if they have an ounce of compassion and decency.

I don't understand it. So many places are begging for medical care professionals up here. I think living with ones self under those circumstances would be hard. I would start looking and take my walking papers. This would not be something I would want to live with the rest of my life just to keep a job.

I cannot imagine the courage required for this girl to come out and reveal these things. She is a "whistle-blower" who will be persecuted..The only thing one can conclude is that she felt the danger for our society of not telling was greater than the personal danger she would place herself in through telling..

Many older couples from my state have moved to FL to avoid taxes. They just might have placed their well-being into the hands of the home of the developing death industry.

The ghost of Hamlet's father's didn't cry out for justice as loudly as all this evidence does.

Don't hold your breathe! I would love to see him and everyone else complicit in this pay a price; but, I doubt it's going to happen.

Don't forget, Terri is VERY nearsighted, and I don't believe ANY of the doctors who tested her in 2002 were informed she needs glasses

She did lose her job when she took a stand for Terri years ago. Then she allowed him to intimidate her after she signed her affidavit. Now she has the courage to stand up.

Who cares if the name calling crowd calls you names. I would tell the truth. To bad if someone doesn't like it. The worst thing a person can lose is their self respect.

If some of those other people have a caring heart this is bothering them very much and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives.

>>Don't confuse the Kill Terri crowd with facts..!


You're right! THEY don't want any more facts, just like Judge Greer. Greer has heard all the 'facts' he ever cares to hear.

And all the other courts never review his 'facts', only his
'procedures'. That's why a 'trial de novo' was so important.
It would have been a do-over of the original 'facts' that
condemned her, along with ALL NEW testimony as well.

Does anyone know if the federal trial de novo would use the
stricter standard of proof of "beyond any reasonable doubt"?

Would it have had a jury?

Yes. Plenty of us are handicapped. I have a tremor. When I try to click the remote to turn on the TV, I often accidentally hit the "on" button twice. I end up turning the TV off.

I'd hate to be judged by my ability to push sensitive buttons to achieve certain outcomes.

The worst that will happen is that they will become "pariah's," once the overwhelming dastardly and awful facts of this case finally permeate this society. A widely diverse group of people from all races, all religions and all political ideologies are forming to become strange bedfellows here. They are bonded together with all of us in horror at what is transpiring..This is not about States Rights..It is about someone being denied due process..In a day not too many years ago, Michael Schiavo's behavior would have stripped him of guardianship over this helpless girl..She would have been placed into the loving arms of her parents where God put her the day she was born. Who could have imagined this evil day in America????????To all who come here to learn of the events of the day..A warning..Already the Associated Press has put out a sympathy piece for Judge Greer. It is posted on foxnews.com. We are going to see the forgers in the MSM strongly attempt the psychological trick of transferring sympathy from the victim to the perpetrators today..The only thing anyone can do is to keep reminding people about what this is and not to go along with the attempted perversion of the facts. A big perversion has occurred over the weekend as liberal talk shows have tried to put the focus on the Bush administration and on Jeb Bush..The only issue here is that Terri Schiavo is being euthanized without due process by an American court.
