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.

There's a saying that goes something like this:

"Those who dig a pit for another will fall into it themselves."

"The City of Minneapolis is going to give HINO an award"

I suppose the Minneapolis taxpayers will foot the bill for this one. Maybe this needs to be a separate thread and then they'll know how their monies are being used.

Zogby Poll, released right after Terri died.

Where did you come up with the claim that the majority of people agree with you?

I think taxes are high in Minnesota. They'll get stuck because HINO is a human sponge.

HERE'S THE GREATEST JUSTICE SUNDAY II link I've run across. It was held in Tennessee this year. There are pictures and names of attendees.

As I was a kid in Florida, I was born and partly raised in the Minneapolis area. Finding heritage in all the wrong places....

But you turned out okay. The Justice Sunday link I posted, is great. Note to self to read it tomorrow. I wasn't able to see it here on tv. Nobody carried it.

In light of the autopsy report, for you to post such a video puts you among those who have little respect for Mrs Schiavo...in a word sick.

I have always noticed how you people hate that video. Here it is again. Terri with her father

Btw, if you think it is sick, have the Mods or Jim Robinson pull it : )

[8mmMauser]

I love that video. It is tough to watch knowing what those ghouls did to her, but any of us who have been around people in Terri's condition see her tender smiles and reactions for what they are.

God bless Terri and open the eyes of those who cannot or will not see.

Maria Korp was euthanized in Australia. Her husband who beat her up to put her in a coma in the first place, committed suicide after she died.

Her case was not like Terri's because Terri was nowhere near being comatose.

God bless Terri and open the eyes of those who cannot or will not see.

Did you know that he melted down Terri's wedding rings 15 to 20 minutes after she collapsed?

What's your source of info on the specific timeframe, and did you mistype it? I can't believe he'd melt down her jewelry before calling her father--that would make no sense whatsoever.

[BykrBayb]

...pulled the plug on his mother, pulled the plug on his father, killed his wife's cats...
...and used the money to kill his wife.

Whatever happened to his concubine's mother? Didn't she die in Michael's house (purchased with money awarded for Terri's non-existant bulemia) immediately after being diagnosed with cancer?

[8mmMauser]

But he did hang around the area.

HANNITY: Did you once say that people in vegetative states should have no constitutional rights? Did you once, sir, say that patients with advanced Alzheimer's Disease, it makes no sense at all to put a feeding tube in them? Did you say those things?

CRANFORD: I think I did write an article on constitutional rights many years ago with another constitutional scholar about the constitutional rights in a vegetative state...

HANNITY: So you said it?

CRANFORD: Yes. Yes, I did.

HANNITY: So people with Alzheimer's Disease, sir, it makes to sense at all to put a feeding tube in them and that people in a vegetative state have no constitutional rights? You said those things?

CRANFORD: Those are two things. With the second thing, with the advanced Alzheimer's, if it's advanced Alzheimer's it doesn't make sense to put a feeding tube in them because if they can't — they're at a point where they need a feeding tube, they're so severely demented...

COLMES: All right. Dr. Cranford, we thank you very much for your time tonight.

It's both refreshing, and scary when they say what they really mean.

I've said this a thousand times that I believe there are things worse than death, and when asked if one would want to live indefinitely in the condition Terri was in, 99.9% of the people on this Earth would say no.

According to Zogby, it's 9%. Where did you come up with 99.9%?

[T'wit]

>> Whatever happened to his concubine's mother?

Sorry, no info on that one.

I wouldn't rule out death by natural causes, unlikely as it seems around there.

What ever happened his concubine's morals, sense, intelligence, taste in men, and ability to cross her legs? Once upon a time, she was a pretty, innocent little girl looking forward to a long, wonderful life with Mr. Right. Now look at her, chief slut and bottlewasher for an award-winning killer.

I love that video. Thanks for posting it again. It shows what a beautiful and vibrant woman Terri was.

Show me the Zogby poll you're referring to please.

Show me the Zogby poll you're referring to please.

[Hildy]

Wait..you're saying 91% of people, when asked, say they would want to live in the condition Terri was in? I think we're talking about two different things.
