If even half of what they are reporting is true, it's scary. I do not understand the nurses comments though. As a nurse myself, I would have gathered witnesses and reported this to the state when it was occuring. My DON would have had an incident report under her door every morning and I would have had a copy of my nurses notes and the incident reports to protect myself. It doesn't add up. The CNA reports are strange too. She states she fed her jello without an order? Someone with a high risk for aspiration? Even with an order a speech therapist or nurse would be supervising. I think this lady needs an independant guardian and an investigation but these witness reports trouble me.

Well this hospice care center is like a nursing home and not a hospital and may not follow such guide lines as a hospital would. The one nurse states that she did make notes but that she found them in the trash later.

It's also been reported that the lawyer for Terri's husband use to be on the board for this hospice care center.

Bottom line .. there are many things that don't add up and Judge Greer should have appointed Terri an independant guardian a long time ago .. He didn't .. in fact he ruled against Terri's parents when they tried to have Michael removed as her guardian.

From what I can tell of this case .. the only one that Judge Greer has protected was Michael

I agree,
With all the nursing home lawsuits sweeping through Florida, calling the state in to investigate would seem obvious.
