There are no medical facts anywhere to indicate that Terri had an eating disorder. That rumor originated with Michael and was propagated throughout the media by single reporter. Neither Michael nor the reporter could produce a single piece of hard evidence that even hints that Terri had an eating disorder.

To say that you are going to believe that Terri had an eating disorder until someone proves otherwise is the same as saying that you are going to believe that aliens killed Terri until somebody proves otherwise. There is zero evidence that either one of these scenarios ever occurred.

The public is going to have to realize that reporters rarely investigate anymore. They just take whatever the AP hands them and they run with it regardless of whether its true or not.

Rumor mongering by the media does not equal medical fact.

Correct! I believe that aliens killed Terri!

They use the following planet Earth names:

Michael Schiavo -- George Felos -- George Greer !!! ;-))

I agree... who can trust the media. But that is where every arguement is coming from on these posts for either side. I am on neither side, an electrolyte imbalance CAN be caused by an eating disorder. I will believe only what I hear from the doctor performing the autopsy. Thanks for you quality post.

It is based on the malpractice lawsuit which elicited testimony from doctors.

It is not mandatory that you accept the findings, but it is wrong to say it is mere rumor based on a single reporter.

She had hypokalemia when she was taken to the hospital. That is an undisputed fact.

Rumor mongering by the media does not equal medical fact.

But Rumor mongering by you does? Who the heck are you and why should I believe you, any more than I believe the media?
