>> Actually, I believe that Michael Schiavo *was* awarded some amount of money for “loss of consortium” (loss of companionship)

Correct. $600,000, of which he got to keep something like half after lawyers and tax collectors raided it. That was his award, not part of Terri's trust fund for therapy. It is interesting that he never spent any of HIS money seeking to fulfill Terri's alleged wish to die. After all that blather about keeping his promise to her, it didn't include spending one penny of his own to keep his promise. He spent only her money -- by embezzling her trust fund (with judicial approval).

There was an earlier award, a settlement out of court, for $250,000. That money simply disappeared. We can guess who got it.

The doctor whose malpractice insurance coughed up the $250,000 was actually later cleared of all wrongdoing. In any case, it seems to have been a bogus claim.

There is so much about this case that just sickens me...
