Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.
Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.
"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."
The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."
"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."
Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.
"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

The Fla Elections Commission and the Judicial Qualifications Commission are as illegitimate as Michael Schiavo's children.
FV, that judge has broken so many rules and laws, do you really think this will make a difference? He wasn't even qualified to run for office, yet did and won. What do we hear? *crickets*
The more I read, and personally see, the more contempt I have for our judical system. Everything I was taught about our system of law and order is bullshit, and I'm guilty of propagating the lie to my children.
Having said that, anyone in Florida should persue the matter, if only to feel that you've done your best to address malfeasance on Greer's part.

Judge Greer, others honored for professional commitment
A number of Florida Bar members were recognized at The Florida Bar’s recent Annual Meeting in Orlando. Among the awards presented were:
President’s Award of Merit Presented to Judge George Greer So that he could receive the award in front of his peers, the Judicial Luncheon was the setting for Sixth Circuit Judge George Greer, the trial judge in the Terri Schiavo case, to receive the President’s Award of Merit.
“Those who know Judge Greer and practice in front of him believe he is the ideal jurist,” said President Kelly Overstreet Johnson. “He is fair, he is impartial, and his rulings are based on law, not emotions and not politics.
“Despite a stellar career, Judge Greer’s knowledge and integrity were monitored and commented upon by the world at large, as he weighed the facts of an extremely difficult case, and applied the law as he saw it. Yet Judge Greer, a hardworking judge committed to the rule of law, to the independence of the judiciary, and to the fundamentals of American democracy, received as a result of his efforts hate mail and death threats resulting in 24-hour security, had to move out of his home, and was asked to leave his church, all in the course of doing his job.
“For his longstanding dedication to our system of justice, for his work in the Terri Schiavo case, and for the personal hardships he has suffered as a result, it is my great honor to present Judge George Greer with the President’s Award of Merit.”
Participants at the Judicial Luncheon responded with a rousing standing ovation.
In accepting the award, Judge Greer said: “When you honor me today, you really honor the entire judiciary.”
FV SAYS: It's really takes MERIT to kill an innocent woman and he got a standing O. Florida is the Starvation State.
There are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents. It is not the child's fault for the circumstances surrounding his/her birth. Most of the time it's the usual deal, however I'm sure some idiot will mention the circumstances regarding THEIR birth. they need prayers.
Well no kidding about how women conceive children. I'd like to know her dating habits before she met the tomcat. Let's just say that it is a time honored way to keep a woman from leaving. Couple that with what ever transpired during those lost 6 weeks, and there would be a big problem if she was my kid.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36, KJV
Stupid George.
2006 is an election year. Republicans are restless. They know who voted against Terri's life and they also know that Greer's a Republican. I'm glad there's a new impeachment drive and it's not coming from me. If they're okay w/Greer destroying the GOP, good for them.
If they're okay w/Greer destroying the GOP, good for them.
I'm so far out of the popular culture, I heard nothing of this and had I heard, would have cared nothing anyway. But a day or two ago, I did see some "Free Katie" and "Save Katie" hits on most-popular-search lists, and wondered what on earth that was about. I'm getting a picture here :-)
Of course not.
Keep in mind that Mother Nature is a bit quirky. The first pregnancy can take any length of time up to nine months. There have been very nervous cases where childbirth follows legitimacy by minutes.
Up to a point, yes, you are right. But if, as in the wild, we are a sure goner - being eaten by a tiger, say, our bodily processes suppress the fight, anesthetize our senses, and relax us into oblivion.

The RNC is eating itself alive. This is why people are looking towards a legitimate third party that represents their views. Greer, Mc Cain, et al, do not represent my views, nor do they constistute my idea of conservative Republicans.
Lol! No seriously, remember when having a child out of wedlock was something to be ashamed of? People would hide the pregnancy, even post date the birth to hide the fact.
I'm more concerned with the controlling nature of this relationship, and the timing of this pregnancy. We should maybe say prayers for Katie.

It is frequently said that truth is stranger than fiction. In the case of Michael Schiavo, husband of the now deceased Terri Schiavo, this is precisely correct.
You may recall that during the years that Terri Schiavo suffered from a debilitating condition, Michael worked very hard to acquire legal permission to kill his wife by denying her the basic human right of receiving food and water. He argued that she would not want to be fed through a tube. His view was that she actually died 12 years earlier, and that the person in the hospital bed was not truly alive. Once he succeeded in achieving his goal, and his wife died, it became clear that Schiavo had designs on attaining as much public support and sympathy as possible. In fact, one might say that in the wake of Terri’s death, Michael Schiavo was starving -- for attention.

a legitimate third party
Right on, TSO.
It should be conservative. The rats, the repubs and the conservatives. We know that most repubs are NOT conservative and, therein, lies the problem. Imagine, a conservative debating McCain? The (C) would make the (R) look like a (D).
Another great article from No. Country Gazette!
Stark contrast indeed between Judge Beauchesne and Judge Greer. Anyone give Judge Beauchesne an award? Or are awards given out in Florida only?
