(PRWEB) December 25, 2006 -- How can we resolve family matters without dragging everyone through painful court battles? How can we change the rules to avoid family feuds faced in the Terri Schiavo Case for 15 years? Let Constance d’Angelis, former attorney for Michael Schiavo, share her first-hand insights and alternative solutions to families keep the peace.
After the first removal of the gastric tube Constance said; “The Schiavo case does not belong in an adversarial, combative and war-like forum. These people are the core of our fabric as a society. They are a family. What have we done?”

A Ravenna company is announcing a new invention and service that will provide essential medical and legal information to medical providers at the touch of a button.
My Life Plan Inc. has invented a new way to initiate advanced directives such as living wills, power of attorney, organ donations, medical history and other information.
Ruth Skocic of Garrettsville, one of the company's owners, said she used to be a social service coordinator at a nursing facility. Skocic said she became concerned how patients without guardians or advance directives can have problems with emergency medical intervention.
"I just saw the need. It was very hard for me to watch people suffer unnecessarily, and know that there had to be a better way." Skocic said.
Then came the Terri Schiavo case, in which the husband and parents of a comatose patient ended up in a bitter legal battle over what the patient wanted in the way of extreme medical intervention.
Skocic said the situation pushed her to come up with a better solution.

That's the question we have been asking, Constance. You were on the team that looked at Terri's CTs and decided what CANNOT EVER be determined from CTs, namely, that Terri was in a PVS. You should have divined some coffee grounds and a steaming plate of chicken entrails, to make sure you had a solid lawyerly basis to kill Terri.
