Felos filed papers asking the court to order all treatment for Terri stopped "other than comfort care" for her infection

Curious.

I didn't know that a "vegetable" could experience discomfort.

Methinks the ghoul has tripped himself in his own words. By acknowledging the need for "comfort care", he has acknowledged the fact that she is capable of suffering.

In other words, he has admitted that she is not in a "persistent vegetative" condition.

Read this about "Terminal Sedation" and see if it doesn't call to mind the events unfolding in Terri's case.

It gave me a terminal case of the creeps.

Good post, kimmie.

Re: That t.v. interview earlier this week (I partially taped) was Fox News' Cavuto, and the attorney he talked with was Felos. And Felos said, the money was "long since gone." Cavuto didn't question him further on the money angle - was any of the malpractice award used to pay Michael's legal bills, etc?

Now I'm reading that there is $350,000 left. Have also read that Michael's attorney was in charge, had control, of the money. Whatever, I'd like to see an audit.

I wonder how Michael came to hire Felos, did they know each other before? Is Felos the attorney who filed the malpractice suit?

Sure they can. Pain is the most primitive of emotions.

I have had both personal and professional experience with similar cases. There are many people living in Nursing Homes who are being kept alive despite the fact all meaningful life for them has long ended. This sounds like one of those cases.
