CLEARWATER - Michael Schiavo has asked a court to waive the two-year statute of limitations on filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against one or more of his deceased wife's caregivers.
Terri Schiavo, 41, died March 31 after her feeding tube was removed after a seven-year court battle.
Schiavo's attorney in this case, Mark Perenich, said he was not able to discuss the proposed lawsuit behind Tuesday's request for an extension of the two-year statute of limitations.
By law, medical malpractice lawsuits must be filed within two years of the alleged misconduct unless an extension is granted.
In October 2003, Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed on court order. Doctors reinserted it on orders from Gov. Jeb Bush.
Now go sterilize your keyboard. And don't type those dirty words again.
lol!
This can't be done, can it?
Are you questioning whether or not Michael Schiavo must abide by the law? Surely you know he's above the law. Why should anyone of his stature have to abide by the law? Phht.
Section HNO? Did they leave out the "I?" I didn't know they had a special section for HINOs.
Was that picture taken on a beach in Euflorida?
Sue the caregivers? What a joke! Lets see...he gets the feeding tube pulled, starves the poor girl to a miserable death and now wants to hold the caregivers accountable?
If the courts grant this MS Schmuck an extension to file this petition then there is no justice.
they've already proven themselves incapable of justice...every last one of those 'judges'. But they shall be judged, every last one of them, by THE Judge, quite justly.
Yeah, I noticed that, too, right away...thought it was quite ironic.
FYI, from the scumbag's attorney's, Perenich, Carroll, Perenich, Avril, Caulfield & Noyes, P.A., website :

1. What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a negligent or careless act by a doctor, hospital, or other health care provider. It is the breach of the accepted standard of care that is recognized by other providers who are practicing with similar training in the same field of medicine. It can result from a failure to act or from acting improperly.
Examples would include: the failure to properly read an x-ray showing a cancerous tumor; the administration of an excessive dose of medication; the misdiagnosis of a life-threatening condition; surgery on the wrong limb; and failure to remove a surgical sponge at the end of an operation. There are many other circumstances of medical malpractice in the medical and legal literature.
3. When should I suspect that medical malpractice may have occurred?
Probably the most likely indicator that medical malpractice may have occurred is the dramatically different or unexpected result of treatment or surgery. An example would be serious brain injury following relative minor surgery.
Another telltale sign is the failure of the provider to give a good explanation for a worsened condition of the patient or of the sudden death of the patient.
There are also instances in which nurses or doctors or other providers make critical statements of prior care. These statements sometimes turn out to be accurate indicators of medical malpractice even though they may never be repeated in a legal setting.
8. What is the Statute of Limitations for filing a claim for medical malpractice in the State of Florida?
The statute in the State of Florida has several provisions that need to be carefully considered by an experienced attorney in light of the facts of any potential medical malpractice claim.
It is difficult to state the applicable statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in Florida without fully knowing the facts of a particular claim. The statute begins with a 2 year limitations from the date of the malpractice, but contains language that could extend that period to as long as 4 years and, in some instances, to even 7 years. In Florida it is also important to know the date when the malpractice was first known by the patient or the survivors of the patient.
Psa 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Psa 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart.
Psa 73:2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped.
Psa 73:3 For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Psa 73:4 For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm.
Psa 73:5 They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men.
Psa 73:6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment.
Psa 73:7 Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish.
Psa 73:8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily.
Psa 73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth.
Psa 73:10 Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
Psa 73:11 And they say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?"
Psa 73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches.
Psa 73:13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence.
Psa 73:14 For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.
Psa 73:15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
Psa 73:16 When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me;
Psa 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end.
Psa 73:18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.
Psa 73:19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
Psa 73:20 As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.
