A doctor DID certify that Terri had six months to live even though it was a on a fraudulent medical record that I once held in my hand. Hospice admitted Terri based upon a fraudulent medical record and never pursued unadmitting her. Instead, it became a matter of medicaid fraud that Fla AG Charlie Crist NEVER investigated. He'd rather lower people's phone bills than investigate REALLY, BIG, BAD MEDICAID FRAUD and by a so-called non-profit.

It's those shadow corporations that pocket the extra dough.

"A doctor DID certify that Terri had six months to live..."

SO MUCH information has reached as to the illegalities permitted in the decisions made for Terri. I didn't recall a doctor's false statement giving her six months. I do know that Michael Schiavo, with his ghoul atty. Felos (at the time chairman of the Woodside Hospice) deposited Terri there, without her family's knowledge.

Wasn't that hospice cited for medicaid fraud? I guess that's what you referred to.

I will check it out. I'm curious.

I believe that hospices AND nursing homes may be in the position to get away with cheating the Medicare/Medicaid systems AND also their patients. I do NOT accuse all of being dishonest.

I can cite a personal experience. My mother was in a nursing home for two years. She was sent there for rehab following a broken hip. The nursing home used their own pharmacy to provide meds to all their patients.

I questioned the med costs and compared them with what my local, chain pharmacy charged. Mom was paying quite a bit more. She also had a drug plan which she always used (courtesy of the large corporation where my deceased father worked and which he paid into.)

You can believe that her drug plan cost her a LOT less than what she was paying to the nursing home pharmacy.

I met with the home's head nurse to discuss it and request that I could order all my mother's meds and make sure they were always available to her.

I had to sign some agreement...no problem. I saved my mother an unnecessary expense. According to the staff, no one else did this.

I had to wonder how many other patients could have been spared the high cost of the nursing home's private pharmacy. That's one of the things that goes on.

On the other side, some nursing home patients put their assets in their childrens' name, for instance, and the government, you and I, pay for their care.

Dishonesty is rampant; Woodside Hospice may be just one of the culprits. The main point is that Natalee did not belong there and we all know why the adulterous "husband" put her there. By the way, have he and Jodie Centonze married yet? I haven't heard and you don't need to respond to that. LOL
