ST. PETERSBURG, FLA---Following reports that the drug Zolpidem can temporarily revive people in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) to the point where they are able to speak, The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation for Health Care Ethics is calling for a moratorium of all potential ordinary care removal for persons diagnosed in a PVS condition.
Zolpidem is usually used to treat insomnia. However, South African researchers, writing in the NeuroRehabilitation, looked at the effects on three patients of using the drug for up to six years.
They reported that "All patients were aroused transiently every morning after Zolpidem."

Terri on the road to recovery before the second stage began.
Not only did Michael Schiavo collect $10,000 from his wife's life insurance policy and stash the proceeds in a safe deposit box in First Union Bank, but from the time of her sudden collapse in 1990 until approximately the middle of 1992 when the payments stopped, he lived off her paycheck from Prudential Insurance Company, according to his own sworn testimony.
Now, in his book, "Terri: The Truth", he's claiming that from the time of his wife's collapse until he allegedly returned to work three or four months later, he had continued to receive his paychecks from Agostino's where he was employed.
