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."

They will be deposed later, of course.

'Twill be very interesting when Terri kicks the bucket and they are subpoenaed by Congress.

Interesting.

Does anyone know if Terri was sleep-deprived before taking the "exam" that was taped and shown to the judges?

She looks sleepy to me.

Maybe Michael had "visited" Terri for several of the previous nights.

I'd like to know if blind Judge Greer could pass the "follow the balloon with your eyes" test.

Well, we know they aren't liberals like Leaky Leahy, then. Libs can almost always find ways to leak information that they want the press to have.

This whole thing looks more and more like blatant murder and a public that has been duped into complacency by a biased media and some slick talking lawyers. MS can do and say anything now and it doesn't seem to matter. Terri has been thrown to the wolves and everyone is powerless to help her.

Facts don't confuse them, they just ignore those. Especially the ones in here who think that they could never face the prospect of having a judge determine their fate. Or the ones who make excuses for the administration.

Wouldn't it be interesting (and, of course, awful) if autopsy results indicated Terri had been physically attacked years ago, leading to her current brain-damaged condition? And wouldn't it be even more interesting if, upon Terri's death, Michael Schiavo were to be charged with murdering her by proxies, the proxies being the Florida judicial system and the federal appeals court system?

Every possible effort must now be made to see that the destruction of forensic evidence useable in future wrongful death lawsuits is preserved--even if that means the Florida States-Attorney impounds the hearse on the way to the crematorium.

Judge Greer has rested his final and immovable judgement to kill Terri on his ruling that Terri's wishes are being carried out thru the agency of her husband, Michael Schiavo.

BUT--Greer himself has admitted that he committed a devastating mistake in coming to his conclusion--but he will not use his new discovery of his error to save Terri's life.

Instead--he now shoves his mistake back underwater and allows Terri's killing to continue.

Since all other judicial rulings have been made on the legal technicalities of the case and no Court whatsoever has done the de novo or new examination of the facts--including the testimony that could save Terri's life--as required by Congress, Judge Greer's invalid foundation upon which he rests this case has never been challenged.

Judge Greer has ruled to eliminate eyewitness testimony that Terri, responding to TV coverage of the Karen Ann Quinlan unplugging , stated explicitly that she, Terri, would never want to be disconnected and hurried off to death.

Based on these verbal statements, Terri's wishes are being directly violated by Judge Greer's death decision.

Reversable error on the face of it.

Judge admits mistake, refuses to reverse findings on Terri Schiavo

The major argument on which Judge Greer's whole case rests is that the current starvation and dehydration of Terri actually fulfills her stated wishes and is being executed by agency of Michael, her husband.

Greer's recent confession that he made a wrongful ruling on Terri's wishes goes directly against--in fact, completely undercuts--the rationale for killing Terri.

We are on the brink of witnessing a true case of judicial homicide.

The moment this criminal act is completed--upon the medical pronouncement at the hospice--all legal measures must be taken to protect Terri's post mortem interests.

Law enforcement and other legal entities must move to prevent guilty parties from covering-up or in any way erasing material that may be used for future investigations and prosecutions that well may reach from the county bench level in Florida all the way up to the Federal Court System.

Some day Judge Greer may end up in a hospital, and some one just may remember his past deeds.

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.

Perhaps that was the first time Michael realized the nutjobs would not stop until they had picked over all of his wife's bones...

I'm afraid such ironies are mostly Hollywood fare. But if there were justice in the world, ...

So what? Are we supposed to care that the man who wants to kill Terri has been credibly accused of attacking her in the first place?

See, I'm coming at this from the point of view of our esteemed (NOT!) judiciary.
