NEVER FORGET

Reprinted from NewsMax.com Tuesday, March 22, 2005 9 a.m. EST

Terri's Former Nurse Accuses Michael Schiavo From April 1995 to August 1996, Carla Sauer Iyer was one of Terri Schiavo's caretakers at Palm Garden in Largo, Fla.

This morning on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" program, she gave a frightening account of Michael Schiavo's actions and words, and also a hopeful description of Terri Schiavo's condition at that time. Ms. Iyer said that Terri could: Interact with staff. Laugh. Talk - saying words like "mommy," "help me" and "hi." Let you know if she was in pain. React reflexively on command. Interviewer Steve Doocey asked Carla why, in her opinion, Michael Schiavo was not telling people this. She answered that she believes "he wants her to die." Doocey then revealed that Carla was fired from the care facility because of a disagreement with Michael Schiavo in an incident where she claims he injected Terri with insulin. Ms. Iyer said that after Michael visited Terri one day for about 20 minutes, with the door shut, she went in after he left and saw Terri sweating, lethargic and "crying hysterically." Carla checked Terri's blood sugar, and it was barely reading on the glucometer. She also saw a vial of "insulin concealed in the trash bin." According to Carla, there were needle marks underneath Terri's breast, under her arms and near her groin. Carla talked to the police and then went to the director of nursing, who was very upset that Carla had gone to the police. She doesn't think Michael Schiavo was a caring husband and claimed to Fox News that he refused to send Terri to rehabilitation of any kind. Doocey then said that he had heard a story from another nurse who tried to feed Terri, and when Michael Schiavo found out about it, in Doocey's words, "it all hit the fan." Carla concurred, saying that Terri could be fed by mouth - jello and pudding, etc. - without aspirating, but that when Michael found out Terri was being fed by mouth, he told the nurses he was going to get them fired. Doocey then asked Carla why she was coming forward now. She answered that she wanted "to let the truth be known. I was one of the very few people who was able to see Terri. She would interact with all the visitors. ... I want everyone to see Terri."

There is still some left, but not as much as there was in the beginning. Much of it has gone to lawyer fees.

It was never millions. It was under 2 million like 1.6 per reports I read and that was like a decade ago. The rumors spread that he wants to kill her to keep the money is slander/libel that is being thrown out to demonize the husband. I also like the story spread by this same crowd that her husband choked her near to death which got her in this condition.

Carla was just on CNN. I learned a few things new to me. She said that they were told they had to do things Michael S. way in regards to Terri because he had a lawsuit against the last place he had placed Terri.

She also said that Terri's chart said she was brain damaged, not PVS.

Dr. Cranford was also interviewed on CNN. He actually said Terri's EEG was flat. This even surprised the doctor on CNN. He said that a flat EEG is how you determined if someone was dead for organ donation and anyone could see se wasn't brain damaged.

You're missing the point. When the same sound is used to convey a meaning multiple times, that "sound" is a word. Words themselves are merely the arrangement of sounds.

Consider your screen name "Destro". Any GI Joe fan knows how to pronounce it - short E and long O. But if I consistently procounce it with a long E, I have not renamed you - I have merely altered the way I say your name. If I am only capable of saying "Detra" to represent your name, I may be mispronouncing it, but it is still your name. Given a few repetitions of this cycle, you may even come to recognize that this is my best effort at properly pronouncing your screen name.

Terri is not currently capable of properly pronouncing the English words she is alleged to be able to speak. But her consistent application of the same sounds in response to appropriate stimuli (i.e.: "mmmmaaaoooo" when her Mother comes into the room) gives those truncated or mishapen enunciations the quality of communicative speech, as long as the recipient can recognize them.

Yeah, that pesky right to life can be so annoying. We should all just jump on the band wagon, and cheer for her murder. Once that's taken care of, we can move on to important matters, like sports heroes on strike. /sarcasm

Actually she did starve herself to death - she was a bulimic ...

I am making a rational call/decision. She is costing everyone money, unfortunately.

I'd love to see her recover! But, face reality, she won't.

Note: In January of 1993, a jury awarded Michael $350,000 for loss of consortium, and $750,000 went into a medical trust for all of Terri's future rehabilitative care, which was based on the testimony of Michael stating that he wanted to care for Terri for the rest of his life. If Terri should die, Michael would inherit the balance of the trust fund. Not only did Mr. Schiavo not provide Terri with rehabilitation, he has denied his wife any and all therapy, against Doctors' recommendations, since the 1993 malpractice award.)

There is an additional award and I am trying to find it.



The xray report was highly suspicious of choking due to marks around her neck. She also had broken ribs when she arrived at the ER, according to xray reports.

I would love to see her recover too, but so much time has passed and she has been badly neglected medically, but with physical therapy and occupational therapy, I have witnessed miracles. Many reputable doctors say she can be rehabilitad, and I don't doubt that.

A) 750K from 1993 till today leaves ZERO. You think anything is left from that based on health care costs for someone in that condition?

B) Thanks for sticking up to the he tried to kill her theory - fall down hard from a heart attack can not account for any of that - no way. Her husband must be a Free Mason to be able to get all the police and courts to keep ruling his way.

Three of Terri's old friends were on Greta's show last night and the two women said that Terri had been abused by Michael - and that Terri had talked about getting a divorce - just before the "accident". You should have been Greta's face. She seemed surprised and somewhat shocked.

Too bad all this stuff is coming out NOW. Hopefully it's not too late. At least the HINO is being exposed.

Larry King sure gave the HINO and his LINO a smoothe ride on his show last night. Couldn't stand it.

All her husband needs is pro death judges and pro death lawyers, that he has got. He also has the ACLU support.

There is more money, because I just read it today, and I am still looking for it.

Her cerbral cortex has shriveld/been absored by the body and has been replaced by spinal fluid. The funny thing is in Texas under a law passed by George Bush - the hospital can pull the plug on hopeless cases like this if the patient has no money. What a snow job.
