Terri also had a broken femur on the night of her admission to the hospital and bone scans were done in the early days of Terri’s therapy, according to Schindler.

Twenty-five years ago my father fell off a ladder at work and broke his femur. He spent 6 weeks in the hospital in traction and numerous weeks after that in a full leg cast. The doctor at the time told us that the femur, the thigh bone, is the toughest bone in the human body and is the hardest one to break.

Makes you wonder what MS did to Terri to break hers.

Not at all. That frequently happens when a cardiac arrest occurs in conjunction with a potassium imbalance. Didn't you know that? < /sarcasm >

Seriously, though, I would like to see Michael and Georgie boy try to answer that question. I guess they were counting on it never getting asked. Sounds like pure negligence on the part of the ER staff from the outset, and since they did supposedly call cops at the time, then I would have to say that law enforcement was also complicit in dropping the ball on Terri. If this case and the records get broke wide open in the courts, there are gonna be lots of heads rolling before it's done.

Very interesting point, about the femur being the toughest bone in the body to break. It is also the longest and thickest bone. I think Dr. Baden was right on when he said Terri sustained injuries from foul play, consistent with TRAUMA or a CAR ACCIDENT, and not a potassium imbalance.
