[Preachin']

Don't get your hopes up.

It'll be just one doctor covering for another.

Nothing more... nothing less.

[floriduh voter]

Ping to Autopsy Press Conference. Jon Thogmartin, Pinellas Co. Medical Examiner. Link is above.

meekie, please ping your Fla list. Thanks, FV

[cyncooper]

It sounds like a VERY thorough examination has been conducted.

I don't think freepers can continue to dismiss the M.E. as having white washed anything.

[cyn]

thanks.

now

[floriduh voter]

He's going the potassium route. When will he address the broken back, legs, etc. I'll post the bone scan here later that was taken in 1993.

[spectre]

Correct.

[tutstar]

No one ever saw Mrs. Schiavo consume laxatives, purge, etc.

The first blood draw showed a low potassium level...several other blood components showed normal.

Witnesses at malpractice trial offered no evidence of purging.

[floriduh voter]

Everyone's here.

[Samwise]

The post should say AM then.

[tutstar]

He says the diagnosis of bulemia is suspect.

[yellowdoghunter]

We won't get a minutes peace......try to ignore them.

[neutrality]

No evidence indicates she used/was given drugs

[floriduh voter]

oops. 11:00 EASTERN PM.

[beyond the sea]

It'll be just one doctor covering for another. Nothing more... nothing less.

Not just doctors covering for each other...... this whole Floriduh crowd is ENTIRELY crooked. A big money maker for the crooks.

[lysie]

He says the diagnosis of bulemia is suspect.

OMG!!

[cyn]

addressing factitious lowering of blood K ... after Vfib and fluid administration.

and questionable dx of bulimia and collapse due to that.

not to be considered a comprehensive screen, but no evidence of diet drugs

large intake of tea -- may also have played a role -- caffeine has somewhat been implicated ... but considering (other factors) ca toxicity is not likely.

did she have a 'heart attack' / MI? ...

[areafiftyone]

He says the diagnosis of bulemia is suspect.

WOW!!

[kstewskis]

I'm getting goose bumps...the truth will set you free...

[chgomac]

caffiene poisoning???? she drank a lot of tea????

[tutstar]

ping

[GRRRRR]

NO evidence of Miocardial Infarction (MI)...

Was she strangled? No evidence of trauma, dr's DID think about neck trauma...

[cyn]

heart is anatomically normal

no evidence of long qt syndrome (as shown via genetic testing)

[mnehring]

No evidence of trauma..

[beyond the sea]

It sounds like a VERY thorough examination has been conducted.

Please...... save it.

Go start up that hideaway thread again.

[tutstar]

I'm in big trouble if that's the case.

[areafiftyone]

I can't watch TV I'm at work but this is making me nervous!

[tiredoflaundry]

You & me both!

[Constitution Day]

BTTT

[cyncooper]

No indication she was strangled.

Radiograph taken at the time indicates no trauma. No evidence at all she was strangled.

Bone scan results that supposedly indicate trauma were taken over one year after her collapse. Physical therapy seems to be the cause.

[beyond the sea]

Witnesses at malpractice trial offered no evidence of purging.

I'll barf (purge) if this charade is anything NEAR honest.

[floriduh voter]

No trauma was noted on the day of, day after her initial collapse. radiograph was negative. ruled out. neck structures 15 years - no remote trauma but with such a delay, the same was unlikely to show any residual. "no evidence of strangulation was found. No evidence of trauma was found by the physicians.

March 5, 1991 bone scan in Manatee Cty - bone scans recvd much attention - remember OVER ONE YEAR after her collapse. What did results indicate? Schiavo had trouble with her right knee. Trouble with both knees in 1991. Physical therapy periods. Knees showed no trauma, no fractures. 1991 x-ray degenerative changes.

WHAT ABOUT HER BROKEN BACK, YOU WHITEWASHER THOGMARTIN?

FV SAYS: Remember that Michael Schiavo stopped rehabilitation and therapy in 1993. STOPPED IT. Her rehab monies went to the death lawyers.

[amdgmary]

It's a whitewash. The M.E. is part of the Pinellas County "good ol' boy" club.

[Salvation]

Catholic Discussion Ping!

Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Catholic Discussion Ping List.

[cyn]

radiograph on admission to er within an hour showed no ev of trauma, no ev. of strangulation noted on ad to er.

manatee bone scan results ... have received much attention ... performed 1 yr after initial collapse.

mrs. schiavo had trouble w/knee, then both knees in '91, thus knees were xrayed...

scan supports heterotrophic ossification ... and osteoporosis.

[XR7]

[floriduh voter]

Terri drank tea, shame on her! Blame the victim.

[beyond the sea]

No evidence of trauma.. ---

****

Trauma to what?

(barf alert)

[chgomac]

ah, here it comes. A healthy young woman suffered those broken bones a year after her attack because of "osteosporosis"

gads...that and the tea. NOT!

[kstewskis]

WHAT ABOUT HER BROKEN BACK, YOU WHITEWASHER THOGMARTIN?

Severe osteoporosis. Very common with vertebrae fractures, especially for someone in her condition for that long.

[cyn]

these findings are typical of pts w/longterm paralysis.

in summ, any fxs concurrent w/her initial collapse should have shown up (in the med docs the me ofc reviewed in course of this death investigation).
