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."

You THINK the M.E. decided he would do it?

That is the law, and that is his job. What else would it be?

also see that you recognize that Michael has ASKED that the results be made public.

I posted it. I see no reason to consider that part of it untrue. I have no fear of the truth.

The law gives him discretion in ordering one. Now, again, you have not shown that the M.E. initially ordered the autopsy and that Michael is just going along with it. You HAVE shown, however, that Michael has requested -- as it is within his purview -- that the results be made public. Have a nice night.

Thank you and the same to you. If I get it, you'll have it.

God bless us all, we need it.

Read this tomorrow.

But not until she is dead. Since it won't be official until he does, it is a moot point. Neither of us wins.

Of course, there is the fact that the Schindler's and the Schiavo's have been in meetings discussing this very thing.

This is from my local newspaper call-in opinion page;

"After a blatantly unfair election, Bush was allowed to begin his destruction of our country with his presidency. Now it's payback time for the Christian right. I am fearful, very fearful for our country."


[a caller from] - Sharpsburg




The judiciary in FL may not have intentionally made this a Christian vs non-Christian issue but a lot of people see it that way.

I heard the medical examiner made it a point to state in his press conference that Florida law MANDATED that he perform an autopsy when it is suspected that a person will be cremated, and that he did not do it at the REQUEST of Schiavo

Well, the point has come up again. Apparently the ME has made a public announcement to this effect, but I know you won't believe it until you hear it from his own mouth. I don't blame you.

I will find it.

You don't need to find it; I've heard it as well. Yeah, he made the statement after his office said they were going to do one anyway, but they just forgot to tell anyone. LOL! Sounds like CYA to me, but I'll let him slide on it. More importantly, I see the excuses have already started for dismissing the autopsy results as being biased in Michael's favor. And the autopsy has yet to take place!
