"Woodworth and Miami lawyer Gary Fox maintained that Igel saw Mrs. Schiavo four times over a year and never asked about her nutrition and never noticed the loose skin and stretch marks resulting from her substantial weight loss. "

Guess what, folks? With bulimia, there is not substantial weight loss. It is being confused with anorexia nervosa here. Bulimics usually sustain normal weight.

"Unlike the person with anorexia, the patient caught up in the syndrome of bulimia usually maintains a normal or near-normal body weight, and the primary symptom is gorging rather than starvation." - from Medical-Surgical Nursing (Lewis, Heitkemper, Dirksen)

Ok it was Bulimia-Anorexia Nervosa Disease. Which is becoming much more common the last 25 years, but it is typically referred as Bulimia Nervosa Disease in these cases and there is a neural-hormonal modulation problem. Terri would either binge or not eat, per the trial records. But I refuse to talk about any of this anymore!!!

Do we really want to get into debate and drag out medical books, etc, etc. and attempt to invalidate numerous medical experts that reviewed this case and the records, made their testimony, and based on this, the Jury awarded Terri $6 million dollars initially. That is a lot of money!

Do you really think they would have done this if Terri's disease was not serious and progressed?. Do you think the medical experts would have only estimated her life expectancy to be 45 if it was not serious and progressed?

Are you an M.D., did you review the patient after her collaspe, did you review laboratory reports, etc. etc. to base your opinion. No....

Is everybody wrong that has had anything to do with all these trials, over all these years, all these expert witnesses where total out of their mind idiots?

Are we going to go back and re-trial everything now over the last 13 years, because we know better?

Not making an opinion or judgement, Just asking everybody their thoughts?
