God bless Carla for coming forth with the truth. My 20 yr old daughter asked me to stop reading that post out loud because it was making her sick :(

[kimmie7]

I have more....and will freepmail it to whoever wants it. It's such a large document that I hesitate to post it all. I don't know where you got it, pc93, but you're da bomb!

[floriduh voter]

Requests have been made for a Terri Ping List. I'd propose that if freepers want updates on action or news, please do a post on this thread as follows: Add me.

If the list gets too large, maybe rc or wc and I can split the ping list in two. Please advise.

Terri spoke on a regular basis while in my presence, saying such things as "mommy," and "help me." "Help me" was, in fact, one of her most frequent utterances. I heard her say it hundreds of times. Terri would try to say the word "pain" when she was in discomfort, but it came out more like "pay." She didn't say the "n" sound very well.

This makes liars out of dozens of major players in this case. Terri's life is in jeopardy between now and Tuesday's hearing. Prayers are needed, for sure.

Thank you all for your efforts on Terri's behalf over the past week.

I'm joining you tomorrow - after a short rest. Praying.

I, for one, would like to read it, but I'm new at posting. How does freepmail work?

[TheSpottedOwl]

Oh no, I apologize if my reply offended you. I never meant to imply that you thought Jeb Bush didn't want to do anything. Elected cockroaches need the bright light of truth to get rid of them. We're doing it in CA, unless the Democrats successfully pull off the cemetary vote.

[kimmie7]

Just like e-mail. At the top right of your screen when you're browsing -- if you have mail it will be bold blue "you have mail" I'll send this now and you'll see.......

The following sentence says a lot about how soon Michael's intentions were suspect.

Quote from the newsday article:

In the days after her collapse, at the urging of a lawyer friend of Michael's, the Schindlers signed a document making Michael Terri's sole legal guardian -- a decision the Schindlers would later regret

One has to ask the question, "what were his motives in doing this"?

[floriduh voter]

I can't do hyperlinks but a google search combining george felos with hospice yields that he was a "hospice volunteer" and that there is an anti-hospice movement underway.

Here's the link without the p.c. formula: http://www.hospicepatients.org/Hosp-Industry-shoots-self-in-foot.html

I'm going back for more.

[BlessedBeGod]

Kimmie, please add me to your Terri Schiavo ping list.

Thank you!

My hubby just had a good suggestion for the family, though i have no idea how to contact them. He said we should get the freepers to hunt down a big name lawyer that can get this to be a more public case and freep the hell out of him to get him to get involved on her side. The more publicity this gets, the better so more people can get involved to help. What do you think about that idea? She needs someone on her side that can out intimidate the hubby and his sleezeball lawyer and has more friends higher up. I can't think of who the right guy would be, but I'm sure someone here would have a suggestion.

Great find, FV! For MJMelone, her own words back in her face!

[Ohioan from Florida]

Thank you! That's some testimony! Poor Terri! This just has to be stopped! I pray it's not too late!

[Don Joe]

Greer was involved in the infamous Lisa McPherson/Scientology death case.

Here is another link. I think it is the main page to yours. Very interesting about how many lawsuits this hospice has had.

[yhwhsman]

If I'm not on your ping list, please add me.

Sorry about that my son was talking to me and I hit the enter button. Here is the link http://www.hospicepatients.org/Hosp-FL-Suncoast-entrypage.html

Sound like you are exactly correct. Here is a copy of a letter sent to the hospice administrator from Terri's father. This clearly backs up the affidavit from the nurse listed above.

Dear Pat,

For the record, on December 13, 2002, we (Terri's family) became aware that Terri was suffering from a Virus/Flu like infection. Typically over the past three years, when Terri required a doctor's attention, we had to literally beg the Hospice nursing staff to have a doctor examine Terri.

This occasion was no different. We expressed our fear to the Hospice nursing staff that Terri would develop pneumonia unless she received a doctor's examination. As you know, our requests were ignored. Out of frustration, we placed phone calls to Dr. Gambone, which the Doctor ignored. Never-the-less, Dr. Gambone did phone in a medication order for Terri.

Although Terri seemed to be rebounding from the Virus/Flu infection, she began to cough, at times violently. We called Terri's persistent coughing to the attention of the nursing staff, however no remedy action steps were taken. The coughing continued throughout the month of January 2003. By February 8, 2003, Terri's coughing increased substantially, accompanied by a heavy mucus buildup. The mucus problem became so severe it required Terri to be regularly suctioned. A byproduct of the suctioning caused a throat irritation, which impeded Terri's swallowing capabilities.

Once again we pleaded with the hospice nursing staff that Terri receive the attention of a doctor. Once again our pleas were unheard. Since there were no indications that Dr. Gambone had visited or would visit Terri, we advised the nursing staff we would initiate a call to Dr. Gambone. Shortly after, the nursing staff advised us that Dr. Gambone called in and was ordering a vapor mist for Terri plus cough medicine. Although the medication offered some relief, Terri's coughing condition still lingered.

On Wednesday February 12, 2003, we visited with you and Ann Saint Marie(?) pleading once again to have Terri examined by a doctor. Later that day, we were told that Hospice's Doctor Moore saw Terri. We were also told, Dr. Moore recommended to continue the vapor mist and cough medicine treatment.

Since December 13, 2002. Terri has been suffering from the lingering effects of the Virus/Flu and it's associated ailments. For the past 3 months Terri has been coughing and audibly is congested, emitting raspy sounds of mucus accumulation.
The degree of coughing and mucus buildup varies. However, the effect of the prolonged cough and mucus accumulation is visually taking it's toll on Terri's physical condition.

As Terri's medical caretaker, we are bewildered how in good conscience, Hospice has not taken steps to remedy Terri's lingering medical condition. As of March 15, 2003 Terri still has a disturbing cough and she has not fully recovered from the Virus/Flu. Even an unskilled medical neophyte can conclude that unless Terri receives immediate Doctor supervised medical attention, she will develop a serious medical problem.

With this consequence in mind, on Monday March 17, 2003, Mary requested that you have Terri receive a chest x-ray, if only to determine that Terri may have contracted pneumonia. Later on Monday, you advised Mary that Michael Schiavo will not give his permission to have Terri tested to determine if she has or is developing pneumonia. Need I tell you, pneumonia is a life threatening medical problem.

In our meeting on February 12, 2003, I expressed our concern that Terri's lack of proper medical attention could and would lead to a fatal illness. I also indicated that while Terri was under Hospice's care, Hospice had a responsibility to have a doctor examine Terri and to treat Terri should she require medical assistance.

Your action of denying Terri a routine chest x-ray to determine if Terri may have contracted pneumonia, speaks volumes. It appears you are being instructed to make critical medical decisions based on instructions from a person who is medically unqualified.

I am confident we mutually share the same esteem for the medical profession and the ethics contained within such a highly regarded vocation. Therefore, Mary and I implore you to provide the routine medical care we are requesting for Terri.

Please place this letter in Terri's file. I am sending a copy of it to Dr. Gambone.

Sincerely,





Robert S. Schindler Sr.
(father of disabled, but not terminal: Terri Schiavo)

Gotcha on the ping list.

Actually, Felos-the-Felon was co-director of the board for the hospice Terri's in!!! Until at least 1-16-01!

Sorry, I am too easily offended by offhand remarks re "Terri Shiavo's case".
She is not a "case" to me, and has not been for many years.
I grieve for her daily, and have done so for many years.
Her life is not a new issue for me, and millions of people in the region.
Should the courts prevail in her "state" ordered death,I will take it personally,and I will suffer spiritually.
Even though it seems there is little I can do but pray.
I expect more from my taxes and votes than what is happening to Terri Shiavo, at the hands of "government".
Her court ordered death will be a mockery of my eight years of military service.
1234 what was I fighing for?
We won the cold war, but we lost anyways?
God have mercy on us all.
