I have been looking at the timeline of something else. The Deathist bunch like to cite the statement by GAL Richard Pearse that M. Schiavo gave Terri the best treatment available for four years. He did say that in his report. Does it ring true?
Terri collapsed in Feb. 25, '90. The award in the malpractice suit came in Feb. '93. Michael placed a DNR order on her chart and prohibited antibiotics for a UTI in June or July of '93 I believe. That is 3 1/2 years and I would call that the end of 'the best treatments available.' The 'falling out' between Michael and the Schindlers happened before the DNR and after the settlement so there was already a question about her treatment.
GAL Pearse recommended removing M. Schiavo as guardian for conflict of interest and he detailed a number of good reasons to. Yet even he has exaggerated the 'good' that Michael has done.
