The Terri Schiavo Information page

Abstract Appeal ^ | February 25, 2005

[bjs1779]

Why don't they let Dr. Hammesfahr treat her? There has been tremendous advances in treating brain injuries since the time of her accident. He has a standing offer that he will treat her for free. How does that sound to you?

[KDD]

According to Assistant Professor of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine:

Conclusion The theoretical basis for Hammesfahr's vasodilation treatment for stroke clashes with current knowledge about stroke physiology. In fact, the prevailing current belief is that such treatments should worsen stroke outcome, not improve it. I believe that vasodilation treatment for stroke patients should be done only as part of an approved peer-reviewed protocol that includes informed consent about the treatment's experimental status and possible risks. Because of the potential risk, I doubt that an institutional review board would permit such a study unless animal studies can demonstrate that the treatment is safe and potentially useful.

Ultrasound Monitoring of Stroke Patients

[bjs1779]

The court said they were wrong. They tried to prove it and they lost in court. It is just that simple. I guess they can say anything they want and you can believe it if you choose. Bottom line is that Dr. Hammesfahr beat them with facts. His method is approved by Medicare - "Fully Approved".

Connect the Dots ... for Terri

• "When Bucky the Labrador collapsed, she[Terri] performed mouth-to-nose resuscitation on him. He died in her arms."
• She (Terri) once ran into the house crying because she had run over a rabbit. No one could console her. Her father went outside, came back, and said she was mistaken, there was no dead rabbit in the road. When she finally calmed down and left the room, her dad said, "Man, she nailed it."
• "She [Terri] went down my throat about this joke [about Karen Ann Quinlan], that it was inappropriate," [her best friend, Diane] Meyer said. She remembers Terri wondering [the summer before meeting Michael] how the doctors and lawyers possibly could know what Quinlan was feeling or what she would want. "Where there's life," Meyer recalls Schiavo saying, "there's hope."
• In an affidavit... [Michael's girlfriend for six months in 1992, Cyndi] Shook quoted Michael Schiavo as saying: "How the hell do I know what to do with her. We never talked about this when we were married. We were young and this was never talked about."
• In late 1992, a jury agrees that Terri should live about 41 additional years, and it awards Michael a Million dollar lawsuit for Terri's rehabilitation. He soon afterwards, stops all physical therapy and rehabilitation, and issues a do-not-resucitate order.
• In 1996, Michael asked Jodi Centonze to marry him and she said YES. Michael testified under oath that Jodi is his fiancee. They now have two children together. State law prohibits guardians for the disabled who have significant conflicts of interest.
• In 1998, Michael suddenly recalled that Terri 'wished to die' rather than live with an inconspicuous feeding tube under her clothing. Many disabled people live nearly normal lives with the same kind of feeding tube.
• In 1999, it became legal for the first time to kill Florida's disabled by removing their feeding tubes. Any 'verbal contract' Michael and Terri might have had before 1990 to kill each other this way, would have been murder at that time and thus illegal.
• In 2003, Michael and his lawyer nearly convinced the world that Terri is "PVS" - which by Florida's definition is:
  • The absence of voluntary action or cognitive behavior of any kind.
  • An inability to communicate or interact purposefully with the environment.
• In 2004, The Pope rules that the disabled MUST be fed, and life-sustaining feeding tubes are NOT medical 'treatment'. Terri, a devout Catholic who spent K-12 in Catholic Schools would CERTAINLY honor the Pope's ruling, and choose to live.
  
• Question: Do these 2002 pics look like a Permanent Vegetative State?

From "Terri Big Eyes" video available at www.terrisfight.org

Terri starts out apparently asleep. A doctor wakes her to start his tests.

Doctor: Terri. Open your eyes up...

Terri: (Startled at hearing her name. She starts moving her mouth and fluttering her eyes, like a person who is just waking up)

Doctor: Open your eyes, Terri open your eyes

Terri: (slowly at first, Terri struggles to open her eyes, then turns toward the doctor, and opens her eyes a normal amount)

Doctor: There you go, good.

Terri: (then, either to show off(?) or wanting to perform well, she leans further forward toward the doctor, looks straight at him and opens her eyes as WIDE AS SHE CAN. Note the WRINKLES ACROSS HER FOREHEAD caused by her also RAISING HER EYEBROWS as high as possible )

Doctor: [now obviously impressed] GOOD!! GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB YOUNG LADY! Good Job.

• Mar 29, 2004. Michael makes up a ruse to deny ANY Schindlers from visiting Terri, who has recently developed a bedsore, lost two teeth for unexplained reasons, had two life-threatening vomiting sessions, and only rarely gets bathed. Judge Greer that same week gave the Schindler's a Catch-22: Either PROVE Michael ordered the nursing home to NOT share Terri's medical information, or else no court action or investigation will occur. The nursing home then continues to blackout information to Terri's parents, while Michael forces them to stay physically off-site.

Nice pictures FL_engineer. Thanks. Looks like America to me!

[Future Useless Eater]

Great FREEP of Mikey's house! Thanks!

I especially liked the one of Mikey's MERCEDES the other day! I wish I could find it!

Mikey was nearly unemployable, and a SPONGE on Terri, living mostly off of her salary. Mikey was alledgedly fired from 6 jobs in two years; In one case after just two weeks.

But now, thanks to Terri's rehabilitation fund, he DRIVES a MERCEDES, lives in what looks like, from the air, a half-million dollar house, and it's complete with a large oval shaped pool!

The oval-shaped pool Terri's REHABILITATION money bought...	The oval-shaped pool Mikey deserves...

Excerpts from last weekend's "The World Over Live" - Interview with Bob Schindler...

Arroyo:    "Did you see black and blue marks on Terri? I've read that in several reports."
Schindler: "Yes, prior to her incident, yes."
.
.
.
Bob S:  "A radiologist says that she had broken bones throughout her body, 
        and he kind of pinpointed to that timeframe in which she had the incident, 
        and either she was beaten up badly, or hit by a truck. We saw her
        the night before she collapsed, and she was fine."
.
.
.
Arroyo: "Now once Terri was in this condition, there- I read elsewhere where he
        attacked- Michael may have attacked your daughter Suzanne. Is that correct?"
Bob S:  "He had a tendency to become very violent, yes, and he tried to attack 
        my daughter Suzanne. We had to really step in and protect her,  and she used
        to go to bed at night and lock her doors and keep a hammer under her bed. That
        she was that frightened."
.
.
.
.
Arroyo: Jackie from Washington, you're on The World Over Live, what's your question Jackie?

Jackie: I want to know if anybody has considered having a criminal investigation  
        of her husband. It seems to me that, if for no other reason, because she was
        bruised, and other things that happened? The current wife is in danger, if 
        this man is bent on this type of thing.

Arroyo: There is also a girlfriend who accused him of stalking in 2001, 
        correct? either David [Gibbs] or mister Schindler?

Bob.S:  Yea, I can answer that... He was...  Mr.Gibbs mentioned about this malpractice suit
        when Michael Schiavo was asking, actually for 20 million dollars, and recited
        his wedding vows to the malpractice jury, and at the same time, he was having
        an intimate affair with this girl, her name is Cindy, who surfaced later 
        and that said Michael Schiavo was stalking her, actually had run her off the 
        road with her car. And she was afraid to testify in the courts for fear that, 
        she had since been married, that he would kill her children, quote unquote.

We'll be at Michael's house tomorrow for a peaceful protest.

OBJECTIVE FACTS????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is Hildys little ploy for attention. She doesn't get enough. There are NO objective facts on Hildys thread. You people are sick.

[Future Useless Eater]

>>Starving someone to death is murder. Plain and simple. I'm with you! and MILLIONS of other Americans agree!

If Terri dies, an autopsy would clear up TONS of allegations of abuse (which could prove a physical attack led to her murder), BUT MS has a standing court order, I believe to allow him to IMMEDIATELY cremate her with no autopsy.

The neurologist said she has fluid pushing down on her brain, and a crushed disk in her neck. He's seen thousands of patients with these conditions singularly, but only in ONE case did a patient have BOTH conditions, and that was a strangulation case.

The same medical expert also said Terri most likely does not need the feeding tube.

The patient can clearly swallow, and is able to swallow approximately 2 liters of water per day (the daily amount of saliva generated). Water is one of the most difficult things for people to swallow. It is unlikely that she currently needs the feeding tube. She should be evaluated by an Ear Nose and Throat specialist, and have a new swallowing exam.

One C.n.a. even says she has fed Terri jello.

You people are sick.

Now how can we make friends like that? : )

[MarMema]

Thank you for your wonderful posts and especially for the signs. God Bless every one of you who has taken the time to there, on behalf of Terri and on behalf of all of us.

[bjs1779]

Thanks amdgmary. I like to see joy.

[MarMema]

And Judge Greer(R) just won reelection with nearly 70% of the vote.

And those who believed that America could be a free country and should stand up to England were a small minority among the colonists.

[bjs1779]

Strike the above, it was supposed to go to a different thread.

[amdgmary]

Suzanne looks joyful in the photo. She's a beautiful lady.
