Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.
Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.
"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."
The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."
"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."
Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.
"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

Ping. Judge Greer should be indicted, the sooner the better. He's a totally corrupt, gutless wonder disguised as a republican. See my last - title for a new book I wish someone would write. Until then, remember June Maxam's book will be out before Christmas. www.northcountrygazette.org. (it's going to be an expose')
Over-immigration is going to be costly in human terms over there. On the other hand, in the U.S., the courts are doing the looting & sniping for greedy lawyers. That too, is costly in human terms.
Does GEICO insure cars in Europe? If they do, imagine them having to go out on an estimate. Hope they send MY ADJUSTER.
CORRECTION: GEICO uses appraisors for property damage estimates. If I don't make this correction, trolls will turn this thread into a thesis on auto policies.

We saw similar in facilities for handicapped/severely retarded kids. We would find some fine staff who truly loved and cherished the kids, others more indifferent and a few truly hard and cruel. But what kept us on our toes were the unseen, the bureaucrats setting policies and who knew what else.
Our decision was to stay away and take all responsibility ourselves. The potential gain was not worth the risk.

Some just don't have that "je ne sais quoi". Michael Schiavo struck out this time in his thirst for being the big Mr. Death.
WorldNetDaily tells it, through Diana Lynne.
Excerpts
If reaction from television-viewing neighbors is a reliable indicator of his future success in the political arena, Michael Schiavo may want to rethink his plans.
News of the Clearwater, Fla., resident's endorsement of Virginia Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine in that state's gubernatorial election prompted a chorus of criticism.
"Who cares what this man thinks? He legally starved his wife to death. Why does his opinion matter to anyone?" was the response posted by W. D. Patton on BayNews9's online Viewer Center message board. Patton's sentiment strikes a common chord among the 26 messages posted as of this writing.

Comments about Schiavo's endorsement of Tim Kaine.
"When did this guy become politically relevant? Mike, you had the right to want your own life. Your wife died long before the plug was pulled and due to insurance policy requirements you could not simply divorce her near-dead carcass and marry your next love. But now you've had your 15 minutes it is time to slink quietly back into obscurity."
"[Who] gives a flying crap what or who this guy thinks should run for what?"
"Who gives a rat's a-- what this guy thinks or who he likes politically. His 15 minutes are up. Maybe he should hook up with wacko Cindy Sheehan."
"Who cares who Michael Schiavo is going to vote for ... call me crazy, but he's no one special."
"This SOB is going to get rich one way or another off of his wife's death. Movies, book deals. ... I am sick of this CREEP getting attention for killing his wife!"
"Where did you get the idea that Michael Schiavo is newsworthy, or that his opinions are important enough to warrant even a blurb? He should sink back into the nothingness he was before the Terri Schiavo case."
I still don't know why he would bother endorsing a candidate in VA, when he is a resident of FL.
People's general opinion of Michael Schiavo is not a good one. I don't think he realizes that.
I don't think he is capable of realizing that.
A mind bloated, corrupted, polluted with the glee of a successful murder can blind a guy to reality.

Hubris, with a good dose of narcissism and psychopathy. Hey, maybe he has the stuff for running as a Dem???
"June Maxam's book will be out before Christmas. www.northcountrygazette.org. (it's going to be an expose')"
