Weight and memory problems
1992 Deposition	November 1992 Trial Testimony
Q: How did you feel about her weight? By this, I mean, you know, you dated her and you married her when she weighted something around 145 pounds, and then she was now, at this period of time, weighing in the area of 120. What was your feeling with regard to her weight – one way or another? SCHIAVO: I – I never really thought about it that much. You know, I – you know, Terri was my wife, I didn’t marry her because of her weight, you know, I – I never really noticed – I mean, a real decline in her weight. I mean, she would lose weight and then she would gain it and she would – you know, and I never paid attention to it. I didn’t think I had to.	Q: Did there come a time when you got concerned about the fact that Terri was getting skinnier than you wanted her to and did you talk to her about it: SCHIAVO: I mentioned it a couple times to her and got to the point where a couple times when she took off her blouse or something at night, I could see her bones, collarbones and shoulder bones would stick out, and I’d mention, Terri – enough is enough. Let’s gain a little weight now and that was that.

 

Relationship with Terri’s Family
Dateline 2001	Statement of Michael Schiavo October 20, 2003	Larry King Live aired October 27, 2003
Dateline: Can you understand how two people see their child in the condition and Terri is now and want nothing less than a miracle.   SCHIAVO:  I certainly can.  I am not a parent.  And I’m sure it’s horrible for a parent to lose a child.  But they’ve had ten years of also hearing doctors telling them, there’s nothing we can do for Terri, there’s nothing we can do for Terri.	“For over 6 years, I have struggled with the Schindlers in court. On Wednesday, I joined them in grief. I understand what the Schindlers are going through at this time. I feel the same loss.”	KING: And what, Michael, is their motive? SCHIAVO: What their motive is? KING: In order to keep their daughter alive. They don't have a motive, do they? SCHIAVO: Probably just to make my life hell, I guess.

SCHIAVO: A few hours later, I was getting out of bed for some reason and I heard this thud. So, I ran out into the hall and I found Terri on the floor. I knelt down next to her and I turned her over because she sort of fell on her face. On her stomach and face. I turned her over going, “Terri, Terri. You okay?” She kind of had this gurgling noise. I laid her down and ran over and called 911. I called her brother who lived in the same complex as we did. I ran back to Terri. She was not moving. I held her in my arms until her brother got there.   (NOTE- Robert Schindler, Sr. has stated that Michael phoned him. He advised him to phone 911, hung up and phoned Robert Schindler, Jr.)

Would anyone want Michael Schiavo to be their nurse?

His patients are inmates. They have no choice.

"He's proven himself to be of low intellect...she, too, must be in the bottom percentile!`"

As the old lady who lived across the street from us used to say: "Love is where you find it, even if it's in a pig's ass."

btt

[bannie]

gasp!

LOL!

[harpo11]

Your work is really exceptional. I was wondering why does the husband get to change his feelings, testimony, etc., while Terri's thoughts remain static, like she can never change, alter, or resent, anything she said before?

How come her husband gets away with so much contradictions and Terri's alleged statement about never wanting to live this way, never can be changed?

[bonfire]

Sad.

[queenkathy]

I like how his atty had to spoon feed him the right answers. I especially like his candid remark about why he wouldn't turn her over to her parents..because they made his life hell...and He didn't want to...poor baby.

[l.tecolote]

> Somewhere out in blogland or terri's sites is a note that in 1991, a handwritten by Schiavo on the rehab plan for Terri was made calling Terri PVS, prior to any medical or legal ruling of same. 1991.

If you find, PLEASE POST !! (If I'm not mistaken, by that year he may have either begun, or completed some medical training.)

[JoeGar]

Your position is a loser. You lost your arguments. Get over it.

[L.N. Smithee]

Your position is a loser. You lost your arguments. Get over it.

Yeah, dennis, "Get over it." This is all about 'an argument.' It's not like this is serious, like somebody died, or something. </sarcasm>

Terri Schiavo's bone scan - Dr. Walker's deposition of 11/21/2003

A copy of the March 5, 1991 bone scan radiologist's report... and,

excerpts from the doctor's deposition, in which the details of the bone scan report, are explained "in plain English" for the reader.

[MHT]

Thank you for running a post that has produced the comparative data I've been searching for on the entire internet. This is truly a helpful thread.

[MHT]

Other facts about her case are also interesting:

Her height was 5'3" (Wikipedia) so her weight of 120 doesn't seem terribly out of sync with that height. Her weight dropped to 110, which is low but not in the critical range. In fact, according to the new federal guidelines, 110 at 5'3" produces a BMI of 19.5 which is considered "normal".

Her time of collapse is given as 5 AM in one source and 5:30 AM elsewhere. The ambulance is listed as having arrived at 6:33 AM--But when was the ambulance called? How long did it take to get there? If the time delay was abnormal, why wasn't the EMT service also sued?

How much life insurance was carried on her prior to her collapse?

What had she been doing the night prior to her collapse? Was she consuming alcohol? Was she with friends? Did they comment upon her general health that night? Was Michael with her? Did anyone comment on the state of their marriage at the time?

[MHT]

Also, Michael Schiavo was a restaurant manager. Most training classes in restaurant management include a section on choking, CPR, etc. But HE didn't try CPR on HER. This would have been something that a 911 dispatcher could have walked him through. Curious......

Hey Smithee. The Terri Schindler Schiavo case is very important and will be remembered. It will come up again when the same problems present themselves in new case. I'm not a religious nut by a long shot. What I see is case built on the lies and fraud of Michael Schiavo and George Felos. And an evil judge who happily accepted these lies because he is also pro-euthanasia for people on feeding tubes. This case is dripping with evil and scheming.

Just wait until the numbers come in for Mikey for selling book and movie rights. Death lawyer Felos might also write a book and profit fromthis case.

[L.N. Smithee]

I agree. And I know that some TV producer out there is already writing a screenplay for a lame TV movie telling the story from Starve-ao's perspective, portraying the Schindlers as money-grubbing scumbags and pretending George Felos is Clarence Darrow.

No, I have not heard it from anyone that such a thing is in the works, but it wouldn't make sense if someone wasn't capitalizing on things that way.

[blueriver]

"I am fortunate to have 2 woman that I love" - what a pig - proud of the fact that he is a bigamist. I just don't get how anyone can stand behind this beast.
