This morning, the Tampa Tribune reported that the Florida Dept of Health failed to report thousands of cases of possible crimes to law enforcement agencies. How many reports filed on behalf of Terri Schiavo were ignored?
Below are excerpts from today's article:
Health Secretary Promises Reform

"Late Wednesday, the department amended its numbers to say it had referred 15,697 cases to prosecutors statewide."
"Nearly 6,000 cases remained under review by the department to determine probable cause, but they were included in the referrals, department spokeswoman Lindsay Hodges said. Some 9,728 were determined to have had probable cause and should have been referred, she said."
"I'm fairly disappointed in what the investigation found," Agwunobi said. "I stand here embarrassed and angry."
"It's hard to believe the public is being protected by a process that takes over a decade to complete," said Lee, R-Brandon.
"It's not right, it's not good, and we need to look at some of the facts and find out what is going on," said Bense, R-Panama City.
In TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO's medical case history, THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE to open a new file for her if they DESTROYED her files from 1992 forward.
This should be another motion that the family's attorneys could put forth. What didn't hospice and medicaid do wrong? They continue to hold Terri HOSTAGE, confined to one room like a prisoner of war. THANK YOU, FLA DEPT. OF HEALTH. Start repairing your GROSS NEGLIGENCE with a young, innocent woman named TERRI.
