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."

have you been to www.judgegeorgegreer.com lately? Or google under Jonathan Alpert, an attorney who represented fired hospice employees. He used to have gobs of material about bad hospices. I don't know if he has anything on line now.
Lots of FReepers quoted in the article, alright. There's a poll there, too. You can probably guess which one I voted for.
This is an assault on June's dad and also on June's wall to wall coverage of SCHIAVO-GATE.
I'll be back later.
GOP LURKERS, Please INDICT JUDGE GEORGE GREER for high crimes and misdemeanors. FV and a few thousand of my closest friends are going independent, going green or sitting home if justice is not served. INDICT GEORGE GREER because RNC LURKERS, if you didn't like what happened this past Tuesday, CAMPAIGN 2006 will be much worse.
Republican Judges killed Terri Schiavo after violating her rights. Republican state members voted against Terri's life. Everybody knows that.
Get with your base or prepare to lose big in 2006.
Ping to 168.
tag line re-do.
Thank you!

I didn't realize that www.judgegeorgegreer.com was updated.
I have read quite a bit of it in the past.
I just called the Eden Park Health nursing home for Gerard Maxam. It might be good to ping the phone #. It is 518-793-5163.
I just said don't allow Gerard Maxam to be dehydrated and starved. Maybe some of you are better talkers than I, but it's important to stand up and be counted.

I've got to be away from the pc so maybe someone can see if there is any agency which might be able to move based on the nursing home "Not" seeking treatment for Mr. Maxam for the stroke. How did they even know he had a stroke if they didn't seek treatment? Some details confusing me.
How in the world did they get his proxy changed?
Can someone email the NCG article to Hannity? Beck, Savage?
Eden Park is owned by a Scott Hoffman...there are more Eden Parks...fyi to self.
From the article "Your right to not remain Silent"--> "Our role as attorneys is to help explain so people understand they have options," McCarthy said.
What a joke. Terri was forced to remain silent. She was not allowed to be seen or heard. McCarthy says people need to understand you have options. Well, Michael Schiavo and Greer saw to it that Terri had only one option - that option was death. I'm so sick of these ghouls.
Thanks for the information on June's father, 8mmMauser. I'm so sorry to hear of her father's stroke. I read June's letter to the nursing home and was shocked to learn what they are doing. Are they nuts or what?
June has my prayers and support. I've always admired what she did for Terri. If only we had people like June in the MSM, this country wouldn't be in the shape it's in.
Dear Friends,
I would like to encourage all of our friends to read the following stories. June Maxam, editor of North County Gazette, and co-publisher of The Empire Journal is experiencing tragedy involving her father Gerald Maxam. In fact, once again it is involving the "culture of death" movement. June has been very involved in the fight for Terri and now is in need of our help, as her father faces the same demise.
Please take the time to read the following stories and act accordingly to help save her father. Remember, this could be your family member, or loved one!

Is anyone in contact with Sean Hannity or Newsmax.com? I don't know if it's worth the trouble to contact Joe Scarborough. He didn't seem to be too involved re: Terri. Dr. Keyes has been contacted about June Maxam's father. Other people are trying to help June.
AS IT TURNS OUT, THE NURSING HOME WHERE JUNE'S DAD is at, THEY wrote a power of attorney for themselves even though June is clearly his caregiver! They are breaking the law up there at the Eden Nursing Home. There is ALSO A NEW YORK GREER-TYPE JUDGE who signed off on the dehydration order.
The nursing home lied and said that her dad couldn't swallow. That's false.
If anyone wants to help, please think of a way to help. A call to action has gone out via email and needs to go out here, because June's dad is being denied nutrition and water RIGHT NOW.
Please take the time to pray for her dad and maybe we can think of phone numbers and contact info for Monday. HOW ABOUT THE U.S. DOJ?
Thanks, FV
Apparently, Jacksonville doesn't have a State Attorney like Pinellas Cty's Bernie McCabe who was part of the plan to exit Terri out. Jax's state attorney is at least entertaining the idea that the spouse is up to no good. In Pinellas County, they were hands off Michael Schiavo - he must have had the goods on the lot of them. It had to be blackmail for them to help a piece of work like HINO.
How about New York's State's Atty or Elderly Affairs in New York? We need help from New York freepers.
This is the DEATH CARE SYSTEM on parade. They used to treat stroke patients, not torture them!
Terri had a right to appear in court but Judge Greer wouldn't allow it and that was one reason her wheelchair remained broken and J. Greer NEVER MADE MICHAEL SCHIAVO OR JODI CENTONZE be deposed last year. They treated Terri like a thing. Under the ADA, Terri had the right to access to the courthouse. Judge Greer violated her rights under the ADA which is just the tip of the iceberg. INDICT JUDGE GREER, what more can I say? He's a criminal on the bench.
If it is your intent to cause my father to die in the same cruel, inhumane manner as Terri Schiavo, I can assure you it too will receive nationwide coverage with the nation's spotlight on Eden Park, Glens Falls Hospital and Warren County Court Judge John Hall with whom you acted in concert, Warren County's answer to Judge George Greer..
My friend has Hannity in her cell. I'll get in touch with her.
