I posted her name this morning. Tonight kcvl supplied her website on another post.

Her story was so powerful.

When O'Reilly asked her how long it took to come back, she said it was only after she received acute therapy.

It is so horrible to contemplate, listening to people talking about you as if you were gone and you are fully cognizant.

She said the feeding tube removal and subsequent pain was excruciating. They even operated on her without anesthesia. She was horrified when Michael S. said this was a painless way to die.

If her husband hadn't been her strongest advocate, she would be dead. He had to threaten to sue the doctors to get them to replace the feeding tube after eight days of starving his wife.

It sounds like the doctors are the ones who are brain dead to put anyone through this torture.
It makes you wonder how many times this has happened before.

I believe the family has the RIGHT to know the names of the doctors who would NOT put in the feeding tubes upon Terri's arrival at the hospital. (Perhaps there was a medical reason for the delay...but if THREATS from Michael were what kept them from acting promptly-there IS a lawsuit in the offing!)

Her husband (the lawyer) said, "I threatened to sue everyone on earth" or something like that to force them to feed his wife again. I saw the interview. O'Reilly doesn't seem very compassionate toward Terri's situation. He can be a real butt sometimes.
