A federal court hearing has started in one of the last effort attempts by Terri Schiavo's parents to restore their daughter's feeding tube.
But the judge already has turned down the parents once. Bob and Mary Schindler are asking for an emergency order to reinsert the feeding tube in the brain-damaged woman.
The hearing in Tampa is before U.S. District Judge James Whittemore. He turned the Schindlers down once, as did a federal appeals court and the Supreme Court. A state judge, a state appeals court and the Florida Supreme Court also have all come down on the side of the husband, who wants to let his wife die after 15 years in what some doctors call a vegetative state.
The latest defeat for the Schindlers was today when a state judge said he won't go along with Governor Jeb Bush's request to order the feeding tube reinserted. The governor had said that new allegations of abuse of Terri Schiavo need to be investigated. The governor also tried to challenged the diagnosis that Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state.
How does it relate to this case?
I don't see where anyone said she had. You ask how anyone knew that she was being given morphine. I answered you. I trust her more than I do Terri's lying "husband" and his (Euthanasia) attorney.
"You base your findings on one report."
Its the one that counts in this case and in court.
Please evidence where MS is lying.
Thank you. Some people are just so ignorant that you just sit there with your mouth hanging open ya know? I believe that if the President was down on the corner they would have to have a legal document from a courthouse to prove he is there before they went to see him. Know what I mean? Thank you again
It mentions a number of medical steps, including generically the use of pain killers including morphine. Anyway, since this "exit protocol" seems to appear only on pro-Terri sites, I thought you might have a link that debunks it as to contents. I understand the nurse that discolsed it may have violated rules, etc., and that is not my question. I am looking for balance to the contention that this represents the "exit protocol." Preferable, a stepe by step refutation, e.g., flat out denial that ANY morphine will be given at any time, etc.
I have already answered that. GREER CAN MAKE A MISTAKE! HE ALREADY DID BY IGNORING FACTS IN FRONT OF HIS FACE! A lady died because he ignored her! Another one is starving to death because he is ignoring facts in this case and is incompetent in my opinion!
She petitioned Judge Greer for a restraining order against her husband, who, she said, raped her and put her in fear of her life. Greer denied the order. She was murdered by her husband two weeks later.
I'm just back here. Has Whittemore ruled?
What is there to respond to? And really why is the fact that she may or may not be given morphine? When her advocate in that state report already found she was unable to process the feeling of pain.
The one that counts in this case.
Ever hear of anyone being wrong? Not all judges get all the facts before rendering a verdict. It seems now days you are guilty until proven innocent.
Gee Greer is human and makes mistakes but yet every state appeals court and federal court has upheld him. Amazing.
Again, what does this unknown restraining petition that was turned down by some family friend have to do with this case?
This is judicially sanctioned murder and it is deplorable.
He opened his mouth. He lied about the Schindlers wanting the money he was spending ON HIS (Euthanasia) attorney. He lied about his killing of Terri cats, he said that Terri's mother did it. The vet said he lied. Another nurse tonight told Greta that he lied about what he was doing for Terri. That's for starters.
Thanks. But what does this have to do with this case? And why if the mistake was so awful is he still on the bench?
I put up a link to something called "exit protocol" and was wondering if it was BS or accurate, and if BS, what part(s) of it? That what there was to respond to.
And really why is the fact that she may or may not be given morphine?
There was a lot of back and forth on the simple question of whether or not Terri was bing given morphine, and this document, while not definite as to timing, indicates that morphine was in the plan. Well, is morphine in the plan? If so, why? Use of morphine is only indicated for treatment of pain.
Meaning, I suppose, that you think I scan the "anti-Terri" sites?
I have no clue where the "other side" of that exit protocol would be found, but I'm willing to be it won't be on FR.
It shows a pattern of indifference to women whose lives are threatened by their husbands. As to why he's still on the bench, that's the kind of thing that happens when an elected official outspends his opposition 341-1.
