At the time the lawsuit was FILED, yes. He didn't know if and when she would recover, and what her condition would be IF she recovered. Patients have recovered from PVS, you know. It's just that, as time goes on, the chances are lessened.
Sure, I believe it was his intent to care for her. But after 8 years, all hope was gone (no one has recovered from PVS after 3 years).
WE have the benefit of hindsight. Michael didn't, and couldn't, have known at that time how things were going to transpire.
It wasn't 8 years. He discontinued rehabilitative treatment and placed a DNR on her chart a mere 3 months after the settlement award, only three years after her collapse.
(no one has recovered from PVS after 3 years).
Simply not true. Numerous examples have been cited on numerous threads.

Then tell me why Michael testified he wanted to take care of Terri for the "rest of her life". Guess that was only for eight years, ummm?
