Even she says "I don't have any way of knowing for sure"

No insulin apparatus discovered, no evidence of Michael having access to insulin or fine needles, No injection site found, no bruising from an injection site, no nothing.

If it happened five times on her shift, and the nurse suspected him of trying to kill her, why didn't she ask that Michael be surrepticiously observed? Why only an affidavit in later years?

Who knows what axe this "nurse" has to grind. I think there is a fair chance she is exaggerating... as in taking a single incident where suspicion crossed her mind, and to make herself feel important has twisted and puffed up her story. She would have to be awfully slow on the uptake to permit such visits to occur repeatedly, doing nothing.

If this is all that supports the screaming hysterical posts claiming as fact that Michael injected her with insulin, then they are full of crap.

If he did, it can never be reliably proved and I'm not surprised the court gave it no weight.

"No insulin apparatus discovered, no evidence of Michael having access to insulin or fine needles, No injection site found, no bruising from an injection site, no nothing. "

I seem to recall when I worked in a pharmacy in Alabama that an Rx wasn't required for someone to buy insulin or needles. And it's not hard to use a fine needle to inject something like that into an area where an injection site would be difficult or impossible to find. It's not something that would be impossible for him to do.

Where is the police report she filed before getting fired? She has credibility if she did, but the insulin a subjective way of trying to figure out what was happening. Nurses need to stick to the facts. At__x __family member visiting. at__x resident__BS tested at__was__md called.Resident stated"__" etc.

I 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.

She was employed there many years ago. Her statement on file was dated August 2003. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and say she has come forward due to the case being in the news and/or the family/attorney requested her to make a statement. If she had come forward with this as an allegation to the state licensing authories during her time of employment or shortly there after, there would have been an investigation. And, the local labor board would have come forward on her behalf for a wrongful termination suit just for good measure.

While I agree with you that the courts determined it could not be proven and gave it no merit, I do not think that you are considering that no one may have bothered to check for injection sites, bruising, etc. because of her husband's orders. Insulin is easy to come by and anyone can buy syringes and so forth. With MS's medical training he may have known how to disguise his actions as well. I am not saying that he is guilty of this but, at this point, I would not be surprised to find it true. Why the nurse didn't come forward or report this, I don't know. Fear maybe? He has admitted to verbally abusing the nursing staff.
