TERRI SCHIAVO MISSING - REMOVED FROM HOSPITAL W/O FAMILY'S CONSENT [Update: She's back at Hospice]

Bay News 9 TV - Florida | 10/22/03 | dandelion

[dandelion]

Terri's brother, Bobby, just reported that Terri is MISSING!! He has been waiting all day to see her, he got the green light, and she's gone...

News 9 reporter said she's gone back to hospice, but the family does not know where she is and has NO CONFIRMATION.

BREAKING...

[pollywog]

For some reason I am not able to send a email to this address. My server is rejecting it. ANYONE know why??
anniesantamaria@the hospice.org. ????? HELP! I want to get this sent now, and then call too!!!!!!! I like to document what I say too!!!

[Budge]

Will do - looking for someone who may be able to post that on DU.

FYI -- excerpt from post #1308:

"Terri is not in a place where she can be monitored or where she will receive appropriate care and support if need be for deteriorated kidney function or sepsis. . . This would show up in the lab work that was done at hospital."...

This was my concern earlier this am.

I called the hospice a while ago. I wanted to know if they were set up to do blood work -- am sure they have to send it out w/longer turnaround time.

I asked what happens if a non-terminal patient requires dialysis or other support. Was told the patient would then taken to hospital (from which she was suddenly and secretly removed last night) "IF the primary attending physician and guardian agree to that form of care." (quote)

My impression is that if Terri does not get a new guardian to truly advocate for her, we will soon be hearing "So sorry to have to announce this, but . . ."

Two physicians were turned away from seeing Terri last night -- from earlier in this thread. Terri's father said she looked worse on return from hospital last night than she did before she went.

She was NOT in a coma before all this began.

Mease Hospital merged with Morton Plant Hospital about five years ago. I worked at the law firm who handled the merger.

My mom got Hep C at MPH after a transfusion BEFORE the guidelines re: blood supply were in effect. They saved her life for cardiac but gave her another disease in the process. She's 77 and goes to Mease-MPH Hospital which isn't where Michael is but they can send you downtown if it's doctor's orders.

MY FAVORITE HOSPITAL IS TAMPA GENERAL if I had to pick one.

[diamond6]

Has the governor made any statement about her being relocated?

Also, I'd be willing to bet MS reads these threads. I'm sure he knows that Free Republic is "part of the problem" (that is ...his problem).

[PleaseNoMore]

Or give up the fight altogether for fear of the consequences. They NEVER expected it to come under this kind of public scrutiny and Schiavo could cave under the pressure. Darkness is the ally of evil, but when the deeds done in darkness are exposed to the light, it can change the whole course of events.

This is one area that I have been praying diligently in. That this be made public. That the name "schiavo" will be immediately recognized. That all of the deeds done in secret will be brought to light. May it wear MS down to hear his name on national news every hour of the day.

[sweetliberty]

" (Whereas that state agency for the disabled, CAN)"

That is what I am counting on....well, that, and Michael Schiavo being overcome by his cowardice and Felos, perceiving a very real threat to his exceedingly over-inflated ego, heeding the voices when they tell him to get out while the getting's good thereby setting him to running as fast as his Birkenstocks will allow.

[floriduh voter]

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO CHECK THIS OUT. A person at the Vigil insisted that HOSPICE IS OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT. Who wants to research that? Hospice of the Suncoast, Pinellas. Gotta go.

[sweetliberty]

"Just thought he might like to see some of the souls he has helped out."

I'm not so sure that Felos and those souls he has "helped out" would be dispatched to the same destination.

[floriduh voter]

The other nurse witnesses are no longer with us. Check out their affidavits.

[PleaseNoMore]

You know I thought of that. Once word was out that a particular group of people were on the internet discussing this that maybe someone on his side would read it.

[tutstar]

nix that idea...they charge $60 to look up public records.....so stupid, it's free in Duval County

[floriduh voter]

The nurse you spoke of was fired from Hospice and Law Enforcement refused to investigate.

[PleaseNoMore]

Do they charge only if you use the internet? What about in person?

[Republic]

I did email mr davis...thank you so much-I sent him a note and a copy of the affadavit of Carla Iyers! Thanks again!

If he thinks his name is PUBLIC now...just wait if something happens to Terri not getting proper help. This was made public record very well the other night during the special session of the Legislature!!! His alleged improper "in-actions" and " actions" are now documented at the legislative level along with George Pelos and Judge Greer!!

Bump --- affadavit by registered nurse Carla Iyer, who was employed at Palm Garden of Largo Convalescent Center in Largo, Florida from April 1995 to July 1996, while Terri Schiavo was a patient there.

[floriduh voter]

Honey, I have to touch up my roots. My hair has literally turned white since I started trying to save Terri two months ago. More freepers are coming to Florida. We are going to try to meet in a more pleasant setting, i.e. a restaurant or put. If any freepers want to come to Florida for the weekend, please freepmail "Republic". Thanks, FV

JUST RECEIVED THIS IN EMAIL.


You signed the petition Gov. Bush must act to rescue Terri.
You were joined by 11632 other people who also signed this petition.

Thanks to a massive public outcry, generated in part by the petition you
signed, the Florida Legislature and Gov. Jeb Bush acted in time to
temporarily save the life of Terri Schindler Schiavo, the disabled woman
on the brink of death by court-ordered dehydration and starvation.
Here's where to review the original petition:
http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petitions.php?id=236

With Terri's time running out as she entered her sixth day without a
feeding tube, the Senate passed "Terri"s Bill" to create a 15-day
reprieve during which the governor can issue a one-time stay of court
orders.

Schiavo's feeding tube had been removed Oct. 15 over her parents' and
siblings' objections, as her unfaithful husband, Michael Schiavo,
continued his court-backed commitment to kill her. He and his lawyer,
euthanasia advocate George Felos, immediately filed a temporary
restraining order.

"Terri's Bill" isn't the answer! A reprieve in the nick of time, yes,
but it's not the victory she needs. Terri's life still is very much in
jeopardy. You can continue to help save this courageous woman by
alerting even more people than before to her dire situation. Direct them
to act at:
http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petitions.php?id=236

Thanks to you and your effort, Gov. Bush was able to act, allowing Terri
to immediately be moved to a hospital from the hospice where she's been
kept the past several months. She now is reconnected to a tube for
sustenance while her case is decided.

But now is not the time to relax. Even more pressure needs to be applied
to Gov. Bush and Attorney General Charlie Crist to do everything in the
power of their offices to find a real and permanent way to spare her
life. Here again is where to keep the public outcry growing even louder:

P.S. I want to thank all who participated in the vigil outside the
hospice and at the Capital. And I know Terri and her family appreciate
everyone who prayed on her behalf. You have stood in the gap not just
for Terri but for all disabled people who now are or soon will be in
unmerciful hands. You know one day it could be you or your loved one
having a feeding tube removed by a tyrannical court. Please keep the
faith at:

PLEASE CUT-AND-PASTE THIS EMAIL MESSAGE:

Dear Friend:

A tragedy is unfolding in Florida at this very moment, and another major
advance for the culture of death looms -- unless you help! Terri
Schindler Schiavo, a 39-year-old disabled woman, was being dehydrated
and starved to death at the selfish demand of Michael Schiavo, her
unfaithful husband, who had her feeding tube removed Wednesday, Oct. 15.
Although given a 15-day reprieve, Terri's life still is very much in
jeopardy.

Michael is living with another woman and has fathered a child even
though he still is legally married to Terri. He also stands to gain
financially from his wife's court-ordered execution, despite evidence
that her brain damage may have resulted from strangulation.

DON'T LET TERRI BE KILLED! Sign a petition at ConservativePetitions.com
demanding Gov. Jeb Bush do everything in the power of his office to
rescue Terri from this unjust, undeserved and unholy plight! Here's the
address:
http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petitions.php?id=236

Terri suffered a collapse in 1990 that deprived her of oxygen for
several minutes, causing her brain injury. She receives nutrition and
hydration by a feeding tube, but is receiving no other life-support
measures. Her husband has permission from Florida courts to remove her
feeding tube despite clear medical evidence that Terri is able to
communicate and respond to commands.

There's more: 13 physicians say Terri can recover with proper therapy!
Her husband, however, has denied her this therapy. He won't even let her
priest visit to comfort her. In addition, there is medical evidence foul
play may have caused Terri's brain damage. Act now to call for a full
investigation into the circumstances of her brain injury at:
http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petitions.php?id=236

Terri's parents have battled for years on her behalf, but the court now
has ruled in the husband's favor. With courtroom doors now slammed shut
to mercy, the process of starving Terri to death will continue -- unless
you and others create such an outcry that Florida officials must stop
the life-taking effort and investigate.

Remember what the Scripture says in Proverbs 24:11-12: Rescue those who
are being dragged to death, and from those tottering to execution
withdraw not. If you say, "I know not this man!" does not he who tests
hearts perceive it? He who guards your life knows it, and he will repay
each one according to his deeds.

Here again is where to act:
