He would say something like, -5- "Hallelujah! You've made my day!" He would call me, as I was the nurse supervisor on the floor, and ask for every little detail about her temperature, blood pressure, etc., and would call back frequently asking if she was dead yet. He would blurt out "I'm going to be rich!" and would talk about all the things he would buy when Terri died, which included a new car, a new boat, and going to Europe, among other things.

I see two possibilities here: this guy is a complete and utter idiot, or, this woman is lying...

My reading is that Schiavo is hot-tempered, vindictive and not very bright. (I don't think he had the guile or smarts to dream up this legalized murder scheme.) Felos is intelligent, cunning, focused on his "right-to-die" crusade, and mad as a hatter.

I hadn't heard of this nurse or read this affadavit before, but she's plainly a careful, trained observer and her words have the ring of truth.

or, this woman is lying...

But to be caught lying in a sworn testimony? What could be a motive for her to do that? I can see suspecting that someone is lying --- but you'd still have to look for their motive to lie. I can't see one.

Maybe you haven't had the pleasure of dealing with such idiots. Good for you. They do exist.

And she did swaer an oath. He could sue for DEFAMATION!
