"Was the purpose of the therapy to make her look better? I don't understand."
No not at all, but that follows that a person would look better. I simply meant that if one does not get therapy or attention at all, muscles atrophy rapidly. She didn't have a fair chance. Once MS had the settlement check, he put her into a nursing home to die. He refused her any type of therapy, even ordered the curtains closed. No stimulation, no swallow tests. Early on she had some but that was stopped. Even stroke victims have to relearn what the damaged part of the brain no longer performs. It takes years many times. She wasn't given a fair chance.Not by MS, not by Greer, IMO. They pushed for death. There was no reason for that sweet lady to die like that.

"He refused her any type of therapy"

What type of therapy should he have continued and why?

She failed swallow tests in 1991, 1992, and 1993.
