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."

I learned how unfunny and personally destructive scientology was 30 years ago, from friends who got sucked in.
That's why it worries me to see virgin Katie get preggers. I had cherished some hope that Scientologists were sterile; but darned if they aren't able to reproduce! Perhaps we could control them by introducing swarms of sterile males into their breeding population. It works pretty well for controlling Mediterranean fruit flies.
I know people like him. In fact a few of you know who I'm talking about. They get away with something early on, and the more rules and laws they break, the more brazen they become. It's almost like they're pushing it because they, in some internal way, want to be caught.
Of course there is the narcissist/psychopath diagnosis. They are special, and god help you if you get in their way.
I don't think the popular MRS wants to be "caught." I think that he wants to push the envelope as far as possible and stuff it in the face of conservatives. Has he married "Ms. Centonze" yet, or have you heard? Remember, he is a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN but apparently has a "soft spot" for liberal Democrats.
Imagine if a conservative got out of the starting gate these days. There is hope, and there is Free Republic, among other websites. If we can get together and form a cohesive group of people, we could maybe get something done.
My lung function prohibits me from holding my breath...
I agree, it CAN be done now, a few years back no. I have that lung problem, also. ;)
Bump to #1133. Judge Greer needs to be impeached.
Look at this pack o'lies from the gainesville paper. Gainesville is the home of Shands Teaching Hospital. Many teaching hospitals are pushing euthanasia and living wills in addition to medical treatment. The slant of this paper is self evident.

Damn. At least some of my friends just got addicted to drugs. What's to say that Katie isn't still a virgin? Do you lose your virginity if you undergo invitro fertilization?
I like your plan about introducing sterile scientoloflies into the colonies, but maybe they aren't allowed to breed without permission, in the first place???
FV Says: So they are all jack*****. LOL LOL LOL
Hmmm, I say that "republicans" like Greer, Schiavo, McInsane, etc, are waiting to be used by a smart, legitimate conservative party. Hillary must be stopped at all costs, but if conservatives could manage to get some momentum going with a viable candidate...who knows?
Because somewhere in the back of their minds, in their souls, they also know that she was murdered. They can't let go of this. Once a liar, always a liar. I don't think they feel guilty but they do know that Terri was murdered in cold blood.
Further, SOS Condi Rice and USAG Alberto Gonzalez can get on my tv any time and say that the United States "does not torture" and they too, are LYING.
Finally, Terri is not alone. Look at the indifference after Katrina, it was sheer arrogance that people died of dehydration or euthanasia because nobody went in. The Coast Guard did fine work but indifference killed a lot of folks who initially survived Katrina and the break in the levee.
When you take one this way and so publicly, it opens the door to take more lives.
The St. Pete times also planted any story that Greer wanted them to to smear JAN GOVAN.
If GOVAN had won, Terri would be alive today. Greer would be picking his big toe in his condo.

Hahahaa, boy talk about hubris and chutzpah! That's okay George, we all answer to a higher authority, and that includes YOU and your ilk.
What nerve. Where are the mimes with cream pies, when we need them????

He didn't mean to say "honor." He meant to say "condemn." It does indeed damn them to have the likes of George Greer stinking up the profession.
A minor earthquake occurred at 00:52:20 (UTC) on Tuesday, December 20, 2005. The magnitude 3.0 event has been located in LOUISIANA. (This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.)
He's got a terrible record on appeal for reversals except when they were all trying to murder Terri for HINO.
