Is anyone else listening to this Gambling show?
Michael just said he took Terri for an EEG and it was "completely flat" and the doctor asked him why he was "letting Terri live" since "she died four years ago."
Where the heck did this story appear from? Has anyone else ever heard this one?
Now he's threatening Bill Frist! This is amazing stuff!
Now he's railing against Father Pavone, just called him a "little man hiding behind a collar." Pavone has REALLY gotten under his skin, I love it.
Mikey's sure trying hard to convince everyone he's a hero. Or a victim. Or SOMETHING, probably doesn't matter what, as long as it's all about him. He's trying a little TOO hard. Keep talking Mikey, Felos isn't sitting beside you to nudge you in the ribs and shut you up. Just keep talking....
(Who the heck is this Gambling guy, Mikey clearly feels quite comfy with him?)
Gambling is normally conservative, but he took a position in favor of Michael on this issue. I just do not understand it.
(Shhhh, I am luring Mikey into a logic trap...Don't tell him.)
I have heard that story before, but Michael and his supporters are the only ones who have mentioned it.
That was his version of a conversation he had with a Dr. Harrison in the 1993 guardianship hearings. I can't find where they questioned Harrison about it. It could be just a Mickey cat story, but it's in the record.
I didn't include that in my post below because of length, but what I thought was interesting was that it appears that Terri had not seen a neurologist since Dr. Yingling (who turns out not to be a medical doctor at all) until one day before Michael's court testimony! I can only imagine what a little police interrogation might lead to with this character.

SHEEHAN: Okay. How often does Doctor Harrison see her, do you know.
SCHIAVO: He's seen her---
NILSSON: You're talking right now, as we sit?
SHEEHAN: Yeah. I mean does he see her on a regular basis now?
SCHIAVO: No.
SHEEHAN: When was the last time he saw her?
SCHIAVO: Yesterday.
SHEEHAN: When was the last time before that?
SCHIAVO: She didn't.
SHEEHAN: So Doctor Harrison saw her for the first time yesterday?
SCHIAVO: Yes, on the advice of Doctor Lyles to go see her or him.
SHEEHAN: Okay. When was the last time Terri had seen a neurologist?
SCHIAVO: I'd have to look up some records. I don't remember.
SHEEHAN: Has it been years?
SCHIAVO: No, I don't think it's been years.
SHEEHAN: Has a neurologist seen her since Doctor Yingling saw her?( April 1991)
SCHIAVO: I don't recall.

She was sleeping. How did the next one turn out?
Btw, note what the alleged doctor allegedly said. "She died four years ago." That would put this EEG in 1994 -- at least a year after Michael withdrew all therapy and put a DNR on Terri's charts. So, why were they allegedly doing a diagnostic test in 1994?
Also btw, the term "flat-line" is propagandistic. People hear it and think of heart monitors, especially in dramatic TV scenes. It symbolizes death, or at least defibrillation. The beeping stops, the line goes flat and -- oh my Hubbard!! -- the patient's heart has stopped. He's dead, he's dying, quick, give him a Heimlich maneuver!!
Too bad we don't have EMGs -- electromorality graphs. Put little wires on your conscience. Michael wouldn't even flat-line. His graph would point straight down.
