Schiavo-like Woman in Recovery Miracle

A severely brain-damaged Kansas woman who couldn't talk or feed herself after a car accident two years ago has inexplicably regained those abilities, confounding the predictions of doctors.

Tracy Gaskill, 30, began speaking and swallowing about three weeks ago, family members and medical personnel told the Associated Press. Gaskill had suffered head trauma and internal injuries after her car rolled over on a highway in September 2002.

What part of THE NOMINATORS will NOT be released for 50 years do you NOT understand? How can you know that no one qualified nominated him when the info hasn't been released. IT IS POSSIBLE that he could have been nominated by more than one person you know! But, that doesn't fit your agenda does it?

Neither was the congressman who "nominated" the good doctor.

Just noticed this part. Before they murdered Terri Shindler, some crack pot was bad mouthing Dr. H and said that his mother nominated him. ROFLOL Wonder if the congressman knows he gave birth to the good Dr. Wahahahahahaha

Probably because Dr. Hammesfahr has the letter nominating him posted on his very own website: nomination letter.

IT IS POSSIBLE that he could have been nominated by more than one person you know!

Sure. Hey, maybe it was Santa Claus. He would know if Hammesfahr's been naughty or nice, after all.

I agree, there could and probably is more than one nominator. We won't know for sure though until the Nobel Prize website releases their info.

Have a good one. :)

The rest were rubberstamping the original hearing...by judges who don't know the meaning of 'de novo review'.

We won't know for a 100% certainty until then. Right now it's only about a 99% certainty, IMO ;)

Lots of your questions may be answered by articles at www.theempirejournal.com.

It's such a huge mess it's not even funny. Sheriff Rice now wants to run for State Attorney General, and the current A.G. Crist wants to run for governor. UGH!

I often wonder how many more there may be that we never hear about because the families may not be aware that there is help available to them. They lose a loved one in a similar way and no one hears about it.

Judge Greer, We hope you enjoyed the FOOD and DRINK,
and the CLOCK from the award banquet held in your
so-called 'honor' for 'offing' Terri.

But don't be alarmed at the way your new clock works.
Instead of of 'DaylightSavingsTime', it was set at
the factory to 'TerriSavingsTime'.

At every 9:05am, it turns itself back one hour.
Just a little reminder of the 'warm place' where you
will be spending eternity.

Stories like this are news and current events.

They didn't dig up a miraculous recovery from 15 years ago.

It is a recovery from this week, just like the firemean waking up after 10 years was from 2 weeks ago.

She didn't meet her maker, as you put it; she was dumped on his doorstep by a bunch of heartless moneygrubbers.

"Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state, for 15 years! Her cerebral cortex was mush!" Bwahahahaha, a 'kill the useless eater' medical expert ... who, as usual, is abslutely wrong. PVS patients don't smile at there father's wise cracks or laugh at his quips, but Terri did as recently as 2002 and it was captured on video! Would the 'medical expert', Donnie Donovon, like to grace us with further false assertions since apparently a person can laugh and smile when their cerebral cortex is mush (which will be a huge surprise to the rest of the medical community), according to the 'kill the useless eaters' medical expert.

Holy cow! That Jacksonville man, Scott Thomas, is just as much in grave danger as was Terri.

His spouse will probably want to move him to Pinellas County in order to get him the "best possible" care!

and the death-cult WPPFF (Wannabe Pontius Pilates and Freeper Frauds) will slither out of the woodwork again claiming that spousal rights trump all others!

"Donnie Donovon" is a retread signup accountname. He did not post anything at all with this account for nearly 2 years (from 9/14/2003 until 5/12/2005) yet he knows all the death-monger's talking points and buzzwords.

He would no doubt have had strong opinions while Terri was being starved to death, but he was already here with a different accoutname.

Oh, and his 9/14/2003 post was anti-God:

This is certainly one of a multiple accountnames from a DU or leftist agitator. Jim, I'm sure you must have a way to verify this and shut the account off.

Don't forget that Sen King is in Jacksonville!! Will the local media pin him down on his previous quote which never appeared in his home district? Inquiring minds want to know!!

"When all of us decided we were going to vote no, it wasn't to be disruptive. It wasn't even to be collegial, said Sen. Jim King, R-Jacksonville, the author of the state's death with dignity law. We did so because in our heart of hearts we thought it was the right thing to do for Terri and

it was certainly the right thing for people who are like Terri."

** Mrs. Schiavo was incognizant for 15 years. **

Not true! Terri was speaking words and responding to family in the early 90's. Hardly incognizant. Perhaps you should do some reading on what her doctors and therapist said in their medical reports.

There are parallels in this case to the firefighter Donald Herbert as well, who was vegetative for 10 years!

HE was actually diagnosed as PVS right up to the day he started talking fluently, per his own doctor.

Of course the differences include he didn't have a murderous spouse, and he got agressive treatment.
