ROBERT SCHINDLER and MARY
SCHINDLER, as parents
and next friends of Theresa Marie
Schindler Schiavo, an
incompetent ward ...

[snip]

VERIFIED AMENDED COMPLAINT

[snip]

FACTS COMMON TO ALL COUNTS

[snip]

15. Terri was married to defendant Schiavo in 1984. On or about February 25,
1990, Mr. Schiavo reported to a "911" dispatcher that Terri was lying on the floor of their
home.

16. Defendant Schiavo, who had been trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(C.P.R.) prior to February 25, 1990, inexplicably failed to call "911" immediately upon
discovering his wife unconcious and instead telephoned plaintiff Robert Schindler, her
father, who demanded that the defendant forthwith call "911". Schiavo asserted that he
heard a thump sound late at night at home and found Terri unconcious on the floor.

17. Defendant Schiavo, despite his C.P.R. training, also inexplicably left Terri
lying face down on the floor until paramedics arrived, rather than turning her over so as
to clear her airway and prevent her hyperextended neck from being further injured or
becoming rigid.

18. Terri was transported and admitted to Northside Hospital in St. Petersburg,
which gave her family no definitive diagnosis of why she was now in an anoxic, brain-
injured state.

19. Within 48 hours of Terri's anoxic episode, defendant Schiavo contacted a
lawyer connected to his employer, one Daniel Gricco, Esq., who in turn convinced the
plaintiff parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, to allow Schiavo to become their seriously
sick daughter's legal guardian as to any proceedings in the Florida state courts.

20. About 53 weeks after the fateful events of February 1990, a total body bone
scan of Terri was done on March 5, 1991 after her physical therapy sessions under the
auspices of Mediplex appeared to become too painful. The bone scan and correlative x-
ray imates revealed numerous abnormalities, including, but not limited to, compression
fractures and apparently traumatic injuries to the L-1 vertebral body and the right femur.
(See bone scan report attached as Exhibit "A.") The bone scane report states, "The patient
has a history of trauma."

21. Defendant Schiavo is about a foot taller than Terri and weighs about 100
pounds more than she weighs.

22. Following Terri's treatment at Northside Hospital, defendant husband Schiavo
sued two physicians for medical malpractice for Terri's injuries.

23. At the trial of the medical malpractice suit, defendant Schiavo swore that he
would use any recovery of pecuniary damages to take care of Terri for the remainder of
her life. He testified that he was going to become a nurse and devote his whole life to
taking care of her. He presented a detailed rehabilitation plan to the jury, a plan devised
by a rehabilitation specialist.

LOL! Satan is alive and well and living inside Michael Schiavo, not to mention the demonic twin, the attorney.
