Michael Schiavo Poised To Sue Caregivers

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.

Two cannibals (a turkey hunter, and a prosecuting attorney) are dining together. The hunter asks the lawyer "Does this clown taste funny to you?" Bada bing!

Thank you very much. My friends at FR were and continue to be some of my greatest support. Don't forget to tip the drummer.

Yeah! Prepared my favorite way - lightning fried! Love the smell of that ozone.... LOL

btw, the lawyer responded "No, but the whiffenpoof is sure bitter."

You've been posting since Dec 21, 2001, and this is your first duplicate post? Get out of here! Have you ever had a typo? ; )

ba-da-boom!

Thank you, BykrBayb! Ladies and gentlemen, give her a big round of applause! She'll be here all weekend!

Don't forget to tip Linda the exotic dancer and Hillary the lavatory attendant, and have a GREAT day!

And don't forget Howard maintenance man.

[BykrBayb]

Oops! Howard the maintenance man. You know, the guy who plunges the toilets.

[Wampus SC]

That's right, folks! Can't forget Howard, THE one and only maintenance man here at Wampus's Florida Room Bar and Grill. It's a lonely dirty job he has, overshadowed and overlooked, and always cleaning up the messes. But somebody's gotta do it. Let's get him to come up here and take a bow. Ladies and gentlemen, give him a big hand too!

Emmett Kelly. One of the world's most famous clowns. I watched him perform, when I was a child.

Nobody can sweep that hole into an inconsequential speck quite like good ole Howie. Look at him crying those big alligator tears. Somebody throw him a couple pennies.

Lots of typos but no duplicates. Maybe because I don't post all that much. Mostly lurk due to the fact I am a rotten slow typist.

[BykrBayb]

Please don't tell me you started typing that response way back when I sent you my post. Goodness, you ARE a slow typist. 8>)

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying this thread. It's gotten kinda silly, but hey, it's late.

[BykrBayb]

Me too. Remember how he used to sweep that light into a tiny little spot?

[Wampus SC]

I saw him too. Guess my age is showing now. :)

No, I'm slow but not that slow. I'm one of those "hunt and peckers." Always thought I didn't need to learn to type since I wasn't going to be a secretary. I'd have someone do the typing for me I thought. Then the computer and the Internet came along. . .

Mike Schiavo is still alive??? Damn. I was hoping karma was going to take care of him swiftly.

[Wampus SC]

Awwww, he's just pining away for Cyndi the cigarette girl. Maybe if we give him enough pennies he can buy her a drink, and she'll sit and talk a while with him, like she does with the joh.... errr.... patrons.
