I've also read that the bone ossification was due to Terri Schiavo's OWN bulimic actions.
The bone fractures may also be a direct result of the ossifications and the purported x-rays which show fractures, etc., may reflect damage sustained during treatments to a paralyzed body AFTER her initial heart stoppage which was determined to be due to a potassium imbalance (again due to her bulimia).
...due to her bulimia
The courts have ruled---we starve "bulimics" in America.
Some people find your "ossification" position "untenable"
From What does Terri's bone scan mean
Certainly IN A CHILD (which Schiavo, obviously was not), the combination of posterior rib fractures, vertebral compression fractures, and distal femoral periosteal elevation is **ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY DIAGNOSTIC for child abuse** and any radiologist who missed this diagnosis would be subject to disciplinary action from his peers and state licensing board. SEE: http://radiographics.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/full/23/4/811** syriacus's emphasisIt is my opinion that the most likely reason for these bone scan findings in March of 1991 is that someone either was physically abusing Terri or they dropped/mishandled her severely.
The x-rays might make all of this clearer if we can obtain them.
n.b.
Teri's fractures could be of the "insufficiency" type (caused by prolonged immobilization/dietary irregularities) and some might posit this explanation; however, in a nonambulatory bedridden patient under careful supervision, **I find this untenable, especially given their distribution which are so typical for ABUSE.**

Pat Anderson, who represented the Schindlers for several years, was on Hannity's radio show a couple days ago and the bulimia claim was discussed.
She said that bulimia was never proven, it was simply proposed as a possible reason for the collapse, mainly for the malpractice trial. Michael himself stated under oath on two separate occasions that he had no evidence to prove bulimia. The treating doctors said that they had no definitive answer for what caused her collapse. Her parents and friends have denied it all along.
When it comes right down to it, Michael himself is the only one who really claims bulimia was the cause.
Not medically accurate.
Tell you what. If you want to kill something by starvation, buy a sick horse. Only don't do it in Texas, because you'll be arrested for mistreatment and neglect of the horse.
Think, Man. Review your history. "J'Accuse!" was a popular movie utilized in Germany to jump-start the acceptance of euthanasia in that country. The story line was about a man who killed his wife out of "mercy." Within years, the categories of those who could legally be killed had grown. In the Netherlands, doctors began quietly killing terminal patients to empty beds earlier and save healthcare funds. They lobbied for the right to do so legally and won. They continue to kill even more people, illegally. The next law allowed killing of children, and now the "doctors" of the Netherlands recently announced that they had been killing sick newborns, lobbied and won the right to do so legally. Belgium has followed.
When there is discrimination between which humans are human enough for protection from killing and which ones may be killed - or even ordered killed while their mothers and fathers are forbidden to offer a spoonful of water to their daughter - the categories of those who are killed increase, the treatment of the borderline cases becomes less careful, until finally the horror becomes so great that the very name of the facility or political group becomes synonymous with evil. Phnom Penn, Auschwitz, Dachau, Andersonville.
