I sent him the letter of my life ( meaning a letter so direct and absolutely filled with the truth, passionate and unrelenting, no holds barred ) a few moments ago.
Dear Mr. Felos,
I do not expect my correspondence to change your opinion or the opinion of your client Michael Schiavo where Terri Schiavo is concerned. Nevertheless, I will continue by saying that I am in firm disagreement with your client.
Sir, as this case has garnered national attention it has also allowed many unanswered questions to surface. Because this case has been brought before the legislature and the senate of Florida and because it could potentially have an effect on all states' laws pertaining to living wills, I, an American citizen demand answers. p> Sir, if you or your client are not hiding anything illegal, sinister or otherwise harmful to Terri Schiavo, why are her medical records sealed and her parents not allowed to have access to them? If Michael Schiavo has Terri's best interest at heart, why is he barring her parents, whom she loves and who love her, from seeing her freely?
How is it that Michael Schiavo during the malpractice suit in which he won a substantial monetary award, which was designated specifically for the rehabilitive care of Terri, swore, under oath, that his wishes were to care for Terri "for the rest of her life" only to later have a recollection of a casual conversation in which Terri stated "her wishes" to be allowed to die if she was ever disabled? Is it not a fact that Terri fully supported her father's choice to place his mother, her own grandmother, on life support and did Terri not visit and care for her grandmother regularly while she was in her final days in a nursing home? Surely, if Terri had been against medically supportive measures to prolong life, this would have been the perfect opportunity for her to convey such to her father.
I would be curious to hear the present opinions of the jury who decided to award Mr. Schiavo money to provide rehabilitive care for his wife as he testified was his wishes. Mr. Schiavo tearfully testified in front of this jury stating that he needed this moeny to care for his wife and to provide care for her, yet her care is funded by Medicaid, the tax dollars of Floridians, and your legal teams has received the bulk of that award in legal fees. Please, do not attempt to appease those of us questioning this by stating that the judge allowed this to happen. The truth of the matter is that you have benefitted financially from the diability of this young woman's plight.
Mr. Felos, I also question your ethics in this case. Were you not a member of the board of directors of the very same hospice facility in which Terri Schiavo is being cared for? Of all of the medical facilities in the state of Florida, how did Mrs. Schiavo end up there? Because of your affiliation with this particular center you are bound by ethics to remove yourself from this case due to potential conflicts of interests.
I also question how Terri ended up at a center whose specialty is to care for the terminally ill when, in fact, Terri was not terminally ill.
Of course, there are many other questions that I and others would desire to have answered but, for now these will do.
Mr. Felos, if you believe that hiding behind Terri's alleged wishes is gathering support for your case, you are sadly mistaken. The effort to support Terri Schiavo's right to live is beginning to steam roll into what I believe will soon be a national outcry against the injustices being done to her and her parents by the hand of her husband and yourself.
I will await your reply and, in the meantime, pray that God will have mercy on your soul and the soul of your client. Sincerely, XXXXXXXX Johnson
