Sir,

You are shoveling s**t against the tide here. It's artificial to feed her for FIFTEEN YEARS with a tube but the emotional jury here will never see that.

However, if THEY were getting the medical bill for her storage, vice everyone who has insurance, who foots the bill for the insurance settlement since it is spread-loaded around the industry, they'd be pulling that tube ASAP.

The nurses who have cared for her in the past have stated that the tube is for convenience only. She is able to swallow reflexively, so she could swallow liquified food. It just would take some time to feed her, time that most hospices/hospitals lack.

Of course. Either I'm stupid for swimming against the tide; have a masochist complex for abuse or simply not afraid to speak the truth.

Take your pick.

She was eating from a spoon some, but it was too expense, so Schivo had the tube installed.
