Some interesting talking points.
Very interesting, clarifies a number of things.
Evidence that she is being murdered under the false predicate of PVS. A good number of neurologists conclude she is not in PVS, but M. Shiavo death judge Greer won't allow any tests for the last 9 years.
It's murder.
Actually, this should be "Dr. William Hammesfahr, a world-reknowned quack and huckster".
In 1994 when he first asked the doctors to NOT treat her for a (possibly fatal) infection.
It all makes me wonder just when Michael Schiavo made his first effort to kill Terri? Was it before or after she ended up in the hospital with an unexplained problem that put her in a coma?
YOUR ARE MAKING ALLEGATIONS YOU CAN NOT BACK UP. THIS IS THE WORST KIND OF SLANDER.
IT IS LIKE ME SAYING THAT MY NEIGHBOR IS HAVING AN AFFAIR AND I HAVE NO EVIDENCE.
YOU PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO GET A LIVE.
REMINDS ME OF THE 2ND GRADE STORY I READ IN GRADE SCHOOL. IT WAS ABOUT AN OLD INDIAN SQUAW WHO WAS A BURDEN ON THE FAMILY UNIT. SHE KNEW THAT OTHER MEMBERS HAD TO TAKE CARE OF HER AND THIS WAS NOT RIGHT. DURING A SEVERE SNOW STORY THE OLD INDIAN SQUAW WALKING OUT INTO THE BLIZZARD NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. THE TEACHER ASK ME WHAT THAT MET? I HAD NO GOOD ANSWER AS YOUNG LIBERAL STUDENT. TODAY AS A OLDER MATURE CONSERVATIVE ADULT UNDERSTAND. WHEN WE ARE NO LONGER A BLESSING AND ADDING VALUE TO OUR SOCIETY IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF LIVING IN PEACE.
IF YOU WOULD GET OFF TERRI BACK SHE WOULD DIE IN PEACE WITH PEACE IN HER HEART. AS LONG AS YOU ARE SPENDING SOMEONE ELSE MONEY, AND BURDENING SOMEONE ELSE TO CARE FOR THIS WOMAN YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH.
GET A LIFE. SIX BILLION SOLES ON THIS EARTH, MILLIONS DIE EVERY YEAR FROM STARVATION, DISEASE, HIV, ETC.
THIS IS ALL I AM GOING TO SAY ABOUT THE MATTER SO FORGET SPAMMING ME.
Dr. Hammesfahr was nominated for the Nobel Prize for his work in Medicine and Physiology in 1999. The Nomination was for work started in 1994. In 2000, this work resulted in approval for the first patent in history granted for the treatment of neurological diseases including coma, stroke, brain injury, cerebral palsy, hypoxic injuries and other neurovascular disorders with medications that restore blood flow to the brain. It was extended to treat successfully disabilities including ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette's and Autism as well as behaviorally and emotionally disturbed children, seizures and severe migraines.
The article's author did not investigate enough prior to writing. Unfortunately she (purposely?) left out the basis for the malpractice suit (which must have been affirmed, since there was indeed a hefty award to MS).
The malpractice suit was based upon the *fact* that the doctors who had been treating Terri Schiavo had not appropriately treated her for her bulimia.
MS was not the only one who substantiated that claim, the Schindlers were complicit (i.e., supported him in this suit).
The doctors and their insurance company were found liable (and I don't necessarily agree with that, either, because that is ascribing to the doctors responsibility for Terri's personal bulimia, treatable or not), hence the award. The Schindlers were upset that MS didn't *share* the $$ with them.
That's when the real mess began.
Consider what portion of the $350,000 went to the attorneys for Schiavo and Schindler, as well as previous care for Terri Schiavo. Consider, too, that the care in a hospice can be as low as $30K a year, and up to nearly $100K A YEAR!
If you want to read another view point, don't just read writing by and for Terri Schiavo and her family. Read both sides, openly, and you may find differing information and opinions.
There are no words to describe the horror of what I am seeing on my tv. How is this being allowed to happen in my America?
MS attorney on tv just a little bit ago was one of the most sickest things I have ever witnessed. And the kicker was when he said that the politicians have backed off this because of the polls. The politician best ask themselves if those idiots taking that poll actually VOTE on election day. People will lose careers over this.
In other words, use any tactic available to achieve the result you want. Ignore principle. The ends justify the means.
Randall Terry is the "Michael Moore" of the Republican party. In other words -- a repellant demogogue.
Wasn't it 1993 when he posted the DNR order on her chart? As in, almost immediately after he got the checks from the malpractice suit in which he tearily promised to care for her for the rest of her life?
Hammersfahr was never nominated for the Nobel Prize by any means recognized by the Nobel committee. There was just a letter from his congressman. He has published no scholarly research and peer review of his methods is skeptical of his claims. He has faced discipline in Florida for making unfounded claims for his methods.
Please ping your lists.
If this sad case runs it's apparent course, Jeb Bush should convene a grand jury for the purpose of indicting the Judge and Michael Shiavo for murder.
Ping Pres Bush.
