I purchased this book last year, and found it to be one of the best references for facts in Terri Schiavo's case. Reading this book is like sitting down with Cheryl and Jan, and listening/watching them present the actual evidence and truth about so many things that the mainstream "pro euthanasia" media has refused to tell. You will see the actual hospital documents, police reports, and so much more.
I will warn you though, that once you learn about the judicial misconduct, FL laws broken, the details of Michaels malpractice case,(money was paid under the claim that Terri had a heart attack brought on by potassium imbalance that was undetected. The autopsy confirmed this assumption was bogus, and that Terri never had a heart attack brought on by anything. The news however, is consistently reporting to this day that the autopsy confirmed the heart attack! There is a lot more about the autopsy that has never been reported. The geniuses reported that the autopsy proves Terri was not strangled, however, it only proves that 15 years later, there is no sign of soft tissue damage - nor would there be if someone was strangled that long ago!) Reporters should be charged with a misleading the public charge for purposely reporting assumptions as truth. And why is it that all the TV stations do not disclose that Terris records were SEALED by Judge Greer?
No one reports on the bone scan that indicated a tremendous force hit her, as well as the multiple fractures and other damage. ****HBO Autopsy Dr. Himself, Mr Baden, had commented on the bone scan before Terris death, and suggested there may have been foul play.*** There is so much corruption involved in Terris case, Pro death judges making their political position the law, instead of obeying the law and keeping their opinions out of it! Greer sealed her case, so why isnt any anchors asking about that? Why were Michaels prescribed anti depressant bottles witnessed by the police the night of the "Incident" taken as evidence? Why were Terris friends and family not questioned regarding Michaels attitude, or any marital problems? The first report on what happened at the Schiavo residence, was titled a homicide. Why was it changed? What happened to the woodwards and Bernsteins in our country? Now each network or cable news feeds off the other, like vultures. They report the same story over and over, from reuters or the like, and rarely ever investigate it themselves. Newspapers follow suit. If someone investigated the five different interviews that Schiavo has given to the media and police reports, Michael Schiavo might very well be behind bars, in the cell next to Scott Peterson.
There is actually v ery little difference between the two, the more you learn about what may very well have happened that night to Terry. Yet strangely, Matt Lauer and Larry King, and all the other news media does not bring up these questions, or question Michael why in the 7 years after Terris "incident" did he never ever tell a soul about Terris wishes that for seven years he supposedly denied? No media outlet reported on the testimony that Schiavo told other people that he had no idea what Terri would have wanted, as they had never spoken of something like that happening in any context. The only time Michael did come out with this revelation was after he asked his girlfriend to marry him, and all of a sudden there was a rush to get rid of Terri and whooops, there it is, a million dollar inheritance!
If someone is in a position to gain something from another persons death, they should not be the guardian of that person. PERIOD. For all the sappy journalists that report that Michael became a nurse to take care of Terry, the truth is that he did not really "care" for Terry. He bossed around nurses, on a Schiavo power trip but he didnt take care of Terri. Did anyone report on the testimony of nurses that said that Terri would be visibly shaken after his visits, and afraid, crying, etc? Did they report that there were nurses that made entries in Terris medical file about things Michael said or did, or how Terri responded, and Michael would see to it that they were removed?
I could go on and on! If you care about the truth, learn more about this case, not just what you hear your TV anchor saying. We all owe that to Terri, because at the very least, what happened to her will affect all of the laws regarding other disabled people like her.
Of course the "Pro Death" movement hates this book, which is why I see some entries in the reviews desperately trying to persuade others to pass it up. They dont want you to see it, which is why you need to see it. Cheryl, who is by the way, a registered nurse gave up her life on the West coast as a consultant to the Schindlers during the fight for Terris life. She was on the inside, aware of all of the facts regarding Terris injuries, her marriage, the inconsistent interviews, Testimonies regarding the night of Terris "incident", and so much more. Ford and Craddock do the legwork in reading all of the court documents, and bring out the parts that others left buried. Cheryl also led thousands of Terris supporters, that grew once the videos were released. Here michael and Judge Greer were talking of Terri as if she were in a coma, as if she were sleeping and not responsive at all. Greer and Schiavo were furious that the videos were released to the public. That now there was proof that Terri was aware, and did respond to family, dr's questions, and requests, could track things with her eyes. Another fallacy of the autopsy was that Terri could not see. False. It was stated that to be sure that Terri could or could not see, a doctor would have to do just what the videos did. They would have to examine her and see how much she was able to see - and any moron could tell that Terri could see to some extent after recognizing family, and following baloons and lights she was requested to follow. The fight4terri group worked 24/7 through internet emails, faxes, phone calls, letters, protests, to reach those with the power to save Terris life.
Anyone upset about the facts in this book, is really angry that the truth is coming out in it. when the truth comes out, the advocates for people like Terri have their agendas pushed back once again. If people like Terri and others with Alzheimers and brain damage, chronic disease, etc are looked at as liabilities within the health system rather than human beings who still have worth, who still have hope, and who still have a right to live with simple food and water. Terri, was not on any machines as was reported on many programs, she was not weak, my Lord, she lasted 14 days without one drop of water. Many of us who are healthy would not last one quarter of that time.
Without this book, you will be missing a great deal of the story on Terris life, the autopsy, as well as what really happened before, during, and after Terri was injured. The book is well written and what really went on in Terri's life will keep you glued to the pages. I am purchasing additional books for lawmakers in hopes of changing our country's guardianship laws. I would encourage everyone who reads it to do the same, if you want to stop seeing other innocent people like Terri sentenced to death. There are many more than Terri, every day, who die silently, with no one to speak for them. The hospice agenda of starving patients has gone out of control. Terri and others like her, are dying painful, horrible deaths, in rooms far away from Katie Courick, Matt Lauer or Larry King. They are dying with nurses and doctors standing by, ignoring the oath they took not to harm their patients. These are people who never agreed to such torture, and pain. People being starved, guilty of being disabled, and needing someone to bring the food and water to their mouth, to a straw or to a longer straw going into the stomach if their swallowing is affected. there is no difference. The Judge in Terris case (Greer) didnt mandate that she only have the tube taken out, he mandated that even if Terri could eat or drink sustenance by mouth, it would not be offered to her, by his decree. He made sure that police would be there to see that no one allowed Terri to even attempt to eat or drink on her own, regardless of testimony from numerous nurses that she could and did indeed eat on their shifts, jello, pudding and other soft or liquid foods. Instead, given that testimony from multiple sources, Greer made sure that no tests would be done on Terri to confirm whether or not she could eat by mouth! He mandated that Terri do nothing less than DIE. We dont starve murderers, it would be too cruel a death. However, for those with disabilities who can not speak, they are the ones who are forced to suffer that fate, by a Judge who never ever went to see Terri once in all the years that her case was in the courts. Bottom line, we need laws that insure food and water be given to any person without a clear written and signed directive. We need to make sure that men who move on and take another family do not get to decide whether hat happens to the woman they left behind. Every womens group that turned a deaf ear to Terri, should be totally ashamed. ACLU as well. The same Judge that was appointed to watch over Terris medical funds to make sure they were there for her, should not have been able to allow her husband to take them, and buy an expensive lawyer that he could not afford on his own with her medical care money! You will see the judicial misconduct in this case and it will make you scream! If the world knew what was in this book before Terri died, she would be alive right now! My gratitude to Ford and Craddock for such an excellent and much needed book.

The statistics are alarming. The details of individual cases are horrific. ~Snip~
In the United States, children under age 4 are more likely to die from abuse and neglect than from any other cause, including accidents and childhood illnesses. In Massachusetts, which has the lowest number of fatalities from child maltreatment in the country, the number of child abuse and neglect cases is the third highest in the United States, according to information provided by the Massachusetts Children’s Trust Fund.
Every day, more children become statistics. In the past few weeks alone, a 3-month-old baby and a 2-year-old boy from Fitchburg were badly injured at the hands of others. The toddler suffered burns over about 50 percent of his body in March, when his 17-year-old mother’s teenage boyfriend allegedly intentionally poured steaming hot water over the child’s head. In April, police allege, the father of the 3-month-old, while under the influence of heroin, broke the child’s left arm in four places. The child also had bloody needle pricks and bruises on both feet, authorities said.
Because of the state’s high number of child maltreatment cases, and a particularly shocking 2005 case in which 11-year-old Haleigh Poutre was beaten into a coma allegedly by her adoptive parents, the state Legislature recently formed the House Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect. The committee’s report, released March 27, recommends several changes in the way the state deals with the problem.

She’s dead Jim
Mmm... in a particularly deep bunker, we could say :-)

That was just replayed on Star Trek again. Yes, I notice, but her Legacy lives.
She didn't have to die, bert.
In a way he got away with it twice -- or else the slowest murder on record: 15 years!
Our visitors studiously avoid the subject, but there is no innocent explanation for Terri's so-called "collapse." But the whole logic of the case depends on the cause of her injuries. If it was not innocent, you can multiply all the claims of judicial misconduct by a hundred. The Greer Court actually protected a murderer and completed his murder for him!
What did happen to Terri? The gods of Evolution are particularly kind to young females of prime breeding age. Young women simply do not just wake up in the middle of the night and keel over dead. They really have only two enemies -- their husbands/boy friends; and automobiles -- in that order. The #1 cause of injuries and deaths in young women is domestic violence. Domestic violence, then, must be ruled out before we look to any other causes. (As it happens, we can easily rule out nine of the top ten causes of serious injuries and death to young women. Which leaves ONLY domestic violence.)
In this book, Cheryl Ford RN and Jan Craddock MD give us the original source material that the media ignored -- because it is damning to Michael Schiavo and his lawyers and judge friends. It's impossible to get a fair and accurate view of the case without accounting for these facts.
Here's a deal for you. I'll donate twenty bucks to Darwin Central if you can give me a coherent, innocent explanation of Terri's "collapse" that fits all the known facts. How did Terri, who was in bed asleep, suddenly end up on a hallway floor, in cardiac arrest, completely unresponsive, and suffering massive anoxic ischemic encephalopathy, along with a broken back, rib fractures and a bone bruise on her right thigh -- right after Michael got home late one Saturday night?
The thing that always got me was how the media could say that Terri was "brain dead" one minute and then claim that she was experiencing "euphoria" the next. Someone who is actually brain dead CANNOT FEEL ANYTHING.
Shut...up.
It reminds me of Greer's order that she wouldn't be allowed to attempt nutrition orally. It reads that she can't swallow, to she can swallow, but she can't swallow enough so why try.
"Under due consideration, the court makes the following findings of fact and conclusion of law.....Full Death Order HereWhile the attorney for the Respondents did get him to acknowledge that he could not say with certainty how much of her nutritional requirement she might be able to ingest orally, he was quite positive that in no way could she consume enough in the manner to sustain herself.
The court does not feel that another medical procedure merely to specify what portion of insufficiency would result from the removal of the feeding tube warrants the granting of the Petition. Accordingly, It is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Petition for Order Authorizing Evaluation, be and the same is hereby denied. "

The Catholic Church should root out their priestly death cultists in addition to predators.
TERRI DAILIES FOR MAY, 2007. BTTT.
FIND OUT TONIGHT WHO'S COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO LEAD OUR NATION. Who will help the weakest among us as part of their platform?????
(not the cristi-critter candidates who chill with Fla Guv Crist a death cultist and democrat wrapped in GOP t-bills.) Crist may be a Giuliani fan and a Romney fan. He likes them both.
See my tag line and "remember Terri in Campaign 2008). Candidates do read Free Republic and we are still here and "still waiting".
Truth be told THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WOULD DO. A republican judge http://www.judgegeorgegreer.com and a Clinton appointee Judge James Whittemore MURDERED TERRI - judicial homicide and nobody stopped them.
No guts, no glory.
FYI: AMBIEN is waking up people in pvs, etc. In addition, AMBIEN is helping people w/autism. Ambien is a sleep aid but is waking people up. It’s not yet been widely reported but this should scare the likes of George Soros, the aclu, Roberts Woods Johnson Foundation, the death cult judiciary who are incompetent boobs and also the death cult attorneys who feed on other people’s money and suffering.
