Well there have been a couple of thoughts that have bothered me for awhile as far as what might have happened that night....I mean apart from the possibility of her having been choked, which needs to be investigated. One of these possibilities would implicate Michael and the other would not. Given the affadavit of Nurse Iyers it appears that Michael may have injected Terri with insulin on several different occasions, and while it can't be proven, combined with other information, it certainly adds to a large pile of circumstantial evidence. So given his apparent familiarity with hospitals and giving injections, isn't it possible that he might have injected Terri with potassium, although, I have to admit that it seems a bit far-fetched.

The other possible scenario which I am surprised we haven't heard more about, is Terri's eating disorder. Seems she was obsessed with her weight and had lost over a hundred pounds since graduating from high school, according to one article. It has been reported that she was bulemic, which wreacks havoc with the body's natural chemical balance. Also, it is not uncommon for a person with an eating disorder to abuse laxatives and/or diuretics which, in the case of diuretics, causes potassium deficiency. Perhaps she had taken a potassium supplement, even to excess, which could have caused the severe reaction. Just something to think about.

I am suprised to. If I ever bring it up, I get ignored. She may well have been gagging herself several times a day which also is extremely destructive to the body. It IS odd that her illness is never discussed. I'm suprised that Felos hasn't brought it up.

Does Baden not know she was bulemic? I really hate when they have guests that don't have all the info.

Yes, this is how MS won the malpractice suit, I believe. He claimed she had a potassium imbalance due to her eating disorder. MS claimed her doc should have been aware of it. And that is certainly possible. And about MS familarity with giving injections, remember that he worked in a restaurant at the time of her collapse. He didn't be come a nurse till a few years later.
