Woodside is for the dying. The limit of stay was 6 months. Terri's doctor never signed the admittance because she was healthy. Note this on the admittance form toward the bottom: Limited life expectancy of 6 months.

Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, the well-known forensic pathologist and coroner of Allegheny County, Pa., told listeners of a morning radio show that he was denied permission to observe Terri Schiavo's autopsy, despite the wishes of her parents.
A medical examiner in Pinellas County, Florida, is conducting an autopsy that could help determine what Schiavo's state of consciousness was and whether she was abused by her husband, as the Schindlers allege. Wecht, appearing on the syndicated America's Morning Show with Quinn and Rose, based in Pittsburgh, said that an investigator working for the Schindler's law firm had called him on Thursday to see whether he would be agreeable to observing the autopsy.
Dr. Wecht told Quinn and Rose he was certainly be agreeable to that, but that several hours later he received word that the medical examiner had declined to give him permission.
Dr. Wecht told the morning hosts that he considered this a mistake, according to Rose Somma Tennent. "He said that, if this were in [his] office, [he] would have said sure - not just because of professional courtesy, but because of the controversy sourrounding this case," Somma Tennet said.
Calls made during the show to the medical examiner's office were not returned.
The results from the autopsy are expected in a few weeks.
And I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who generally abhors lawsuits because they have become so abused. Lawsuits should be reserved IMO for cases involving clear neglect and where people are clearly damaged. What can be more damaging than not being allowed to feed your child while she is being starved to death. Its not about money bur accountability.
Okay, what I heard two years ago, was that Jodi's family owned the insurance company that paid the Schiavo claim. Then, that company went bankrupt.
You may be right...however, I think we may never know the whole story.
And I've also been told that it may be possible the autopsy will turn out to be inconclusive, in whole or in part. I would like to see the autopsy either prove or disprove at least some of the myriad of allegations that have been leveled by both sides. But the realistic side of me is preparing me for the possibility that we may still not know anything after it's over.
I am definitely not holding my breath on this one.

I agree. And Michael refused to let the parents know where their daughter is buried and refused their coroner. What's the harm of a second opinion unless one has something to hide?
Thanks...but where did this form come from?
:)
this is amazing! Terminal Diagnosis says Vegatative State. That is not terminal so how the AG's office in Florida is not looking into this frankly alludes me!
The malpractice award for Terri's future care was based upon a life expectancy of at least 40 years, yet her (unsigned) admission papers to the hospice showed a life expectancy of no more than six months (I quote from memory) thus IMO Felos and has cabal must not have allowed for the tremendous fight that Terri's parents would put up to save their daughter's life.
Greer, because there is after all, no such thing as the perfect crime, forgot one very important aspect of Florida law. The autopsy. He was able to get away with denying Terri the feeding tube and even food and water, but NOT an autopsy. Now, I guess 'they' have to fix that, too...
You asked "has anyone started to wonder just why a woman who was not terminal was in a hospice?"
May I answer that question with another question?
Could they have gotten away with killing her slowly by denying even basic medical care and therapy if Terri had been under the care of physicians in a hospital?
Remember, even anti-biotics were denied her for urinary-tract infections. Terri was not admitted to the hospice for medical treatment, she was admitted to the hospice so that her life could be ended.
It just took longer than they would have liked...IMHO.
you are SO right !!!!!If any damming information comes out of this to hurt Michael , it will be a miracle!!!!
The Empire Journal has copies of original documents. They are an investigative online paper.
It certainly speaks to them having an agenda.
DJ MacWOW, look at the "Terminal Diagnosis.
It was changed after the fact. It was written while the
rest was typed. I bet whiteout is underneath.
Yes it does. The Hospice, Felos, Schiavo all had plans that as soon as she entered that Hospice she wasn't going to be leaving there. Sure enough, they got what they wanted, but I don't understand how it is legal to label a PVS as terminal.
Thank you again. I feel a need to check out a lot of documents these days, especially since the CBS/President Bush forged documents mess.
Do you know what a compression fracture is?
well, isn't everyone involved in the hemlock society? seriously, everyone schiavo has up his sleeve...dr, lawyer, judge... is a member of the hemlock society. i would be surprised if the me is any different....
But the question is why? PVS isn't terminal. And she had no illnesses or diseases.
