"It's what Micheal won his law suit over. The doctor didn't tell her to monitor her potassium levels because of her eating disorder. She was only 110 lbs."

Do you have a link to the law suit testimony? I read that he won the law suit supposedly because her doctor didn't know she was bolimic. And I would like to know how Michael knew that she was, because that is usually kept a secret from everyone.

Terri was only 5'3" tall. 110 lbs is not bolimic for someone of that stature.

It's in the testimony of the one quack doctor who didn't look at her scan before he opened his yap.

And yes, the doc did know she was boliemic. I don't know how or when Micheal knew it, could possibly be later, but thats what he sued over.

And you think going from 200 to 110 is healthy by puking up everything you eat? Sorry, people die doing that all the time. She in no small part caused her own death. ( I consider her death to be 1990)

Anyways, thems the facts, I'm not saying the court thing was right, but I'm not going to pretend that she had any chance or recovery either. Not after 15 years staring at the ceiling 24 hrs a day, and scans showing her brain dissolving into liquid.

Things could have been handled much differently, there was no rush to do anything, as she was not suffering, time was the one thing everyone had but failed to use.
Terri was tragedy, the courts were a tragedy, and the mess now is a tragedy.
