Evidence of Physical Abuse Haunts Michael Schiavo

Fractures in wife’s ribs, pelvis, spine and ankle point to prolonged violent abuse

CLEARWATER, Fl., Feb.10 /Christian Wire Service/ -- On May 6, 1990, two months after the mysterious incident that left Terri Schindler Schiavo severely mentally disabled, Dr. Hamilton, an Orthopedic Surgeon, examined her. A year later Terri was demonstrating painful reactions to physical therapy treatment, so on March 5, 1991, the Mediplex therapist director ordered a bone scan.

This bone scan revealed a healed broken right femur bone and healed bone fractures in Terri Schindler Schiavo’s ribs, pelvis, spine and ankle.

Dr. W. Campbell Walker concluded that Terri has a history of trauma and presumed that the other multiple areas of abnormal activity also relate to previous trauma.

As Terri’s lone guardian, Michael Schiavo has been able to conceal the bone scan and examinations from her parents, brother, and sister for over ten years. To date, Michael Schiavo has not allowed the family to see the results of the May 6 examination, the emergency room records from the day of the incident, nor any of the accompanying x-rays.

Michael Schiavo's inability to be forthright over the bone scan brings into question his lone description of Terri's activity at the time of the incident. His choice to have his wife terminated rather than rehabilitated may not be in pursuit of her interests, but to continue to conceal the level of physical violence he displayed toward Terri.

The bone scan evaluation is available online at www.earnedmedia.org/bonescan.htm

This bone scan revealed a healed broken right femur bone and healed bone fractures in Terri Schindler Schiavo’s ribs, pelvis, spine and ankle.

I'd love to hear the explanation of a broken right femur bone...

Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!

In concert with his actions to date...or when taking into consideration his actions as regards Terri...I'd say this evidence is the most compelling. It explains exactly why he behaves as he does. IMHO (and that's all that it is), he doesn't want her to get healthy because of what she might reveal if she recovers...and the added bonus for him is the money

[gopheraj]

Oh bulimia, doncha know.

/sarcasm

[Ohioan from Florida]

Oh, didn't you hear? Michael heard a *thud* in the middle of the night. She broke it then. / sarcasm

[Niteranger68]

This explains everything! He is trying to "destroy" evidence with a 159th trimester abortion!

"...This bone scan revealed a healed broken right femur bone and healed bone fractures in Terri Schindler Schiavo’s ribs, pelvis, spine and ankle.
I'd love to hear the explanation of a broken right femur bone..."


Here is the explanation that will be used:

"This is a typical lie from those right wing, pro-life, Christian nut-jobs and I don't have to respond to those idiots"

THAT will be the view, ...


...Of the JUDGE!

"...I'd love to hear the explanation of a broken right femur bone..."

Something seems fishy with this. I'm all for Terri and her care and her parents but this X-ray biz does not seem Kosher.

A busted femur is not the sort of thing that goes unnoticed or untreated is it? It is not something that could just have been limped through. What is the time frame for these injuries? Sometime earlier than her brain damage but how much earlier? What did her parents have to say about the signs of abuse before the brain damage?

I'm not saying this X-ray story is bogus but it does raise lots of questions that the article did not answer.

Oh! My bad!!

This case just boggles my mind.

HOW could he conceal all this?

IF they can print this as truth WHY aren't lawyers able to extract her from this man and allow her parents to care for her?

[snarkytart]

I am a little late to this case, and I know there is tons of information involved.
However, I thought I heard that a court cleared the husband of any wrong doing in Terri's accident, is this true?
How exactly does he expalin her trauma??

[amdgmary]

"he doesn't want her to get healthy because of what she might reveal if she recovers...and the added bonus for him is the money."

I agree with you. Schiavo has been trying to get rid of the evidence (Terri's body). The fact that Michael has a court order for Terri's cremation just makes his intentions more obvious.

[JudgemAll]

I see no YWCA NOW attacking him ... hmmm..

[1066AD]

Calling Walker Railey ...

[OldFriend]

Anorexics have bone fractures.

[capt. norm]

It would make sense that Michael would want her dead just in case she regains full consciousness and starts recalling what he did to her.

He has something huge to hide and after she's gone his secrets are forever secure.
