Schiavo's Nurse to Keep License

Thank God! As if patients haven't been harmed enough by the judicial murder of Terri Schiavo, imagine if the courts had declared it illegal for nurses to report patient abuse. It's a relief to see some sanity seeping back in.

[BykrBayb]

Here it is. Thanks Mod. The cookies did the trick.

[conservative blonde]

Yes, we all can and should thank God for this nurse's victory over evil. Not only did she win but Michael Schiavo lost. Think of what he would have done with a court saying it illegal for nurses to report patient abuse.

Sauer-Iyer, 42, said she lost her job at the Pinellas County center after contacting the police.

So, a nurse complains about the treatment of a patient who happens to be a political football, and the powers that be get her fired?

Pinellas County is Satan's winter home.

Terri Schiavo's Nurse has been cleared. Hurray!

Michael Schiavo's nursing license is still under a veil of suspicion though.

[mockingbyrd]

There is justice in the world.

"Pinellas County is Satan's winter home."

Couldn't have said it better.

[Dante3]

Great news! There should not even have been an issue.

[BykrBayb]

He still hasn't been prosecuted. At least now, it's not illegal for the witnesses to testify.

Here in North Florida there will be another public opinion poll that matters on this issue. Randall Terry is running against Jim King, Fla. Senate President, who cast the deciding vote against Terri.

Thank God - Carla is a wonderful woman and a great nurse who truly cares about her patients. I have met her and can vouch that she is an asset to those for whom she cares.

She never wanted publicity - coming forward was certainly not a pleasant experience for her, and others in the hospice industry have not been kind to her.

[Obie Wan]

Good thing for her.I'm surprised some liberal judge didn't decide to starve her to death like they did to Terri Schiavo !!!

[floriduh voter]

Florida's ACHA took a complaint from a a non-Floridian. If the DOH revoked Carla's license, she would have been unable to practice nursing and helping patients ANYWHERE in the UNITED STATES.

Now if Jeb Bush would endorse Tom Gallager for Governor it would be a relief. Crist Let Terri Die and when he did that, Crist violated the Constitution and his oath.

[dandelion]

PING!!

[the invisib1e hand]

Couldn't have said it better. Couldn't have said it better.

But you probably could have said it faster. It took me 20 years to figure it out.

[BykrBayb]

Crist, and a lot of others let Terri die. Crist also publicly praised Greer for causing Terri's death.

[floriduh voter]

Hi, dd. To take a good nurse out of our country's health care system because she tried to save a life and did an affidavit that Jeb Bush asked her to do, would deny many patients care by a fine nurse.

This did not happen in Pinellas County. This was orchestrated at the state level. Tallahassee's just as far fetched as Pinellas County is.

ALL RIGHT!!!

Micheal... stick it in your ear!

[thoughtomator]

It was useful to slander her while Terri was alive; now that the patient has been murdered, we see the case for that murder crumbling before our eyes.

[stanz]

I would never want Michael Schiavo as my nurse.

[BykrBayb]

I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the patient died.
