Pinellas Pasco Judge Greer set October 15, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. for her feeding tube to be removed. There's something wrong with Florida's exit protocols and the way the courts handle new information re: criminality (misrepresentation, attempted murder, etc.) affecting a case. There was no living will, only the assertion of a very suspect, so-called husband, his brother, etc. that Terri would not want to live on life support. Terri is not on life support, she is not comatose or PVS and she is not living "artificially". She does get sustenance from a feeding tube but only because she has been denied rehabilitation by her so-called husband after he won a malpratice lawsuit three years after her collapse (cause unknown but probably due to strangulation or physical abuse, or both) which is why Terri needs an army of supporters to spread her story from coast to coast. Terri has retained rights that are being sidestepped because she is disabled and has been denied rehabilitation! The technologies of rehabilitation have greatly improved exponentially yet Judge Greer has not let Terri have a chance to learn to eat or to be able to learn to speak/communicate again. Also new information bearing on the case which shows criminality on husband's side has not been considered by the 2nd District Court of Appeals who handed down Mandate for termination of Terri's feeding based upon testimony of criminal husband and brother as above stated. Who is next?
Let's make a difference! Thank you for your efforts.
Here's the image: Greer and Felos are part of a movement to set precedent that will allow the terminations of elderly and infirm as a means to 'clear beds' that are paid for by state funds! [Terri's case may not be a state supported disability, but if the precedent is established with her execution then no one is safe when the state decides to terminate care it decides it no longer wants to pay for.] If this happens on Jeb Bush's watch and he does not oppose it with action instead of merely words, well, I don't want to go into the repercussions, but suffice it to say he will never be elected to any office beyond his current job!
This case stinks of a Judge that is ignoring any relevant material that would work in Theresa Schiavo's favor. And why?... Because this Judge and his associates (who likely include Felos and others) are determined to execute Terri and thus brush aside the current legal protections in favor of establishing a new paradigm! THAT is becoming more and more evident with each revelation. What threw me over the top and put on this line of reasoning was the blatant disregard for the facts of this case that Greer has had to ignore in order to continue pursuing his predetermined course. Michael Schiavo is a totally unfit person to be Terri's guardian, as evidenced by his own longstanding cohabitation with another woman while Terri is yet alive and he is legally married to her. His refusal to use the funds won in a lawsuit, for Terri's rehabilitation efforts, is blatant abuse of Terri and her assets by her 'guardian'.
What Greer is doing stinks of execution to cover his very poor judicial stewardship and his blatant predetermined goal in this case. If the Governor of the state is unwilling to get off his butt and assign his attorney general to deal with this and remove not only Greer but the abusive guardianship, then it is squarely on Jeb Bush's head as far as I am concerned, he is complicit in her execution. And there is no excuse of 'not knowing the facts' of this case because I can assure you that the attorney general of Flordia and the Governor's office have been updated and have all the data they need to order Florida Protective Services to act on Terri's behalf regarding the abusive nature of her guardian's malicious neglect and conflicts of interest.

You asked valid questions. Perhaps they've been addressed on the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Call to Action Thread Part 1. (still going - over 5000K posts).
If you want to be on Terri's ping list, please contact kimmie7.
But many thanks! Maybe someone else knows the info off the top of their heads.
She had a bone scan 13 months after her collapse. Why then? I'm thinking the malpractice insurance demanded it - that Michael only gave a deposition; the case didn't go to court....the award was too swift to have waited for a court date.
The bone scan was not ordered for the malpractice. It was ordered because Terri had complained much of pain during her therapy early on. The doctor or physical therapist wanted to find out why.
What I can say is that one year after Terri's collapse, her parents had a falling out with husband Michael Schiavo at which point, he took total control and a proper guardian was kicked off of Terri's guardianship.
He promised to rehab her with the settlement proceeds during the malpractice lawsuit and as soon as he had those proceeds, he did an about face and began a plan to have her life taken. This is his FOURTH attempt to have the feeding tube removed. THREE TIMES he failed thankfully.
If the malpractice insurance company didn't want recent x-rays, that would be the first time in my experience. Which isn't much, granted. I'd really like to get my hands on those files, charts.
