>> No, it did not. The examiner could make no definative conclusion.

Dr. Thogmartin was at pains to refute bulimia as a cause. In essence, he made fun of the whole idea, albeit in polite medical language. "Bulimia" wasn't even a medical opinion, but one made up by a trial lawyer named Gary Fox for purposes of a lawsuit.

Suffice to say, that "explanation" is at odds with medical facts and hopeless. Do you have any other guesses?

" Dr. Thogmartin was at pains to refute bulimia as a cause. In essence, he made fun of the whole idea, albeit in polite medical language."

Wrong. As I said, he could make no conclusions one way, or the other-that's INCONCLUSIVE. If you want to claim otherwise, post the relevant proof.

No, it is not. The trial contained testimony regarding her behavior and the emergency room electrolyte results. The ER also failed to note any traumatic cause as the reason for her being there.

As usual, none of the Starvation Nation cadre present on this thread care to note the truly critical test of the supposed Schiavo "influence" on the 2006 election cycle.

To quote Michael Schiavo on Larry King Live: "[TerriPAC] is a PAC that I founded, it's going to be holding some of these people accountable for what they did."

But in Michael's first electoral 'assault' in 2006, Schiavo's PAC took a royal asskicking in his first attempt to seek revenge against those who sought to prevent Terri's starvation.

In an election year where Democrat gained 31 seats, Schiavo's support proved to be the kiss of death to many other Democrat candidates that might have otherwise rode the historically inevitable mid-2nd-term opposition party wave.

In Florida, Schiavo's PAC:

LOST ! Jim Davis for Governor - after $3,500 [in blood money], and a joint fundraiser with honorary co-chair Rep. Barney Frank.

LOST ! (FL-9) Phyllis Busansky

LOST ! (FL-10) Samm Simpson

LOST ! (FL-21) Frank Gonzalez

LOST ! (FL-25) Michael Calderin

Outside of Florida:

LOST ! Ned Lamont for Senate - Michael campaigned for him in person in Connecticut.

LOST ! (CO-4) Angie Paccione - Schiavo stormed Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave's Loveland office in July, then held a joint press brag outside with Paccione.

LOST ! (MA-9) Jack Robinson

LOST ! (NJ-7) Linda Stender

LOST ! (NY-29) Eric Massa

LOST ! (OH-1) John Cranley
