The Schindlers certainly appeared not to have disputed the bulimia claim when it meant possible money for them.

Why would the malpractice doctors (and their insurance companies) not have fought the bulimia claim if it meant their case would be thrown out?

The whole reason Terri Schiavo collapsed was because of a potassium imbalance, which stopped her heart from functioning.

The Schindler "side" is full of propaganda, matters which muddy the water, and perception that is clouded by factors which are not pertinent to the issues at hand.

Maybe they thought they could trust people who said she was bulimic, even though they weren't sure she was.

Bulimia thrives in secrecy. Like abuse does.

Maybe they did. I haven't read the trial transcripts, have you?

And the Schiavo side is pure as the driven snow?

Or for their daughter's care.

The Schindlers had a big lapse in moral judgement when they decided to avoid investigating the basis for the "malpractice" suit, for fear that such investigation might jeopardize their daugher's ability to receive treatment. Given that the Schindlers had spent huge amouts of money on their daughter's care, I do not begrudge them a desire to (1) get at least some repayment, and (2) win some more money for their daughter's care. Nonetheless, their failure to confirm that everything was on the up-and-up proved fatal.

Of course, you know, with absolute moral certainty, exactly what caused the potassium imbalance, eh?

Because, if you are not 100% morally certain, then you really shouldn't be discussing it as though it were a settled fact.

Whether or not the Schindlers chose to argue about the alleged bulimia (perhaps they choose their battles, or were unaware of the allegation) is irrelevant.
