That was seven years ago, when Ms. Sauer was a nurse at a rehab facility in Largo, Fla. At that time, Ms. Schiavo was getting physical therapy and full-time attention from skilled nurses. But the facility charged $4,000 a month, as Ms. Sauer recalls, and Mr. Schiavo soon chose to discontinue his wife's therapy and move her into the much cheaper hospice system. She's languished there for six years, tethered to a feeding tube while a fierce legal battle swirled around her.
These things require a cerebral cortex in some kind of working order as would the videos I have seen with my own two God given eyes.
Why would Ms. Sauer lie?
From what I have read, she has little cortex left now. The deterioration was caused by a lack of oxygen to her brain after the incident in 1990. The brain stem, which is still intact, regulates some movements. As for the videos, I can't agree with you, though I'd love to.
Why would Ms. Sauer lie?
This is the first I've read about Ms. Sauer, and I have no idea as to whether or not she did. There's no reason to believe that she did.
