Why wouldn't the hospital give her fluids at least?

Wouldn't they have to have valid orders from someone NOT to hydrate her?

And I have never been to a hospital that didn't immediately plug you into an IV whether you needed it or not.

Text of Bush's Excecutive Order

Bush issued Executive Order 03-201, which states that

"Effective immediately, continued withholding of nutrition and hydration from Theresa Schiavo is hereby stayed.

"Effective immediately, all medical facilities and personnel providing medical care for Theresa Schiavo, and all those acting in concert or participation with them, are hereby directed to immediately provide nutrition and hydration to Theresa Schiavo by means of a gastronomy tube or by any other method determined appropriate in the reasonable judgment of a licensed physician.

"While this order is effective, no person shall interfere with the stay entered pursuant to this order. And,

"This order shall be effective until such time as the governor revokes it."
