They do not want to open a pandora's box wherein many heads would roll.
Keep in mind that Florida's House & Senate is overwhelmingly GOP, even more than before the Nov. 2nd election. The members from this area overwhelmingly supported Terri or helped draft Terri's Law. They just didn't go far enough - they should have DONE OVER the exit protocols and remove the law that says that nutrition and dehydration is MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ARTIFICIAL. That was JABA THE HUT, JIM KING'S LEGACY and he's no longer the President of the Fla Senate. Tom Lee, who was for Terri's Law, is now the President.
Jim King is still around but term limits forced him out of the presidency. He's in the Hospice Hall of Fame and that doesn't surprise me at all that he's in it and that they would EVEN HAVE A HALL OF FAME for advocates of killing the disabled or the elderly or anyone who cannot use the English language to communicate.
There was one case where the docs thought this woman was speaking gibberish and so they were going to euthanize her. An attendant or nurse happened by and recognized that the lady was speaking Polish, not gibberish. That chance meeting saved the woman's life.
There are many other ways to communicate besides language. Look at Stephen Hawking who has one of those computer generated voices w/a keyboard. There are also cards the size of placemats where the person lacking speech can point to the picture or to the yes or no to respond. Terri it has been said did use eye blinks for yes or no. It's no wonder she's confined in one room. Can't let anyone see that she's not as she's been portrayed by husband's side.
Terri's always trying to talk and her dad and the Monsignor make her laugh. She's tender with her mom, sis and niece. Terri's a sweet person who needs proper care that Hospice isn't licensed to provide. They are not licensed for rehabilitation. Keep Terri at Hospice and she is not rehabbed at all. She is in limbo until she is in a rehab facility.
I'm posting to the thread, not directing any of this specifically your way but people lurking here need to know these things which the LOCAL media does not report.
"people lurking here need to know these things which the LOCAL media does not report."
No doubt. Even if the truth about Terri and relevant issues were accurately reported, a certain amount of recitation is necessary.
"They do not want to open a pandora's box wherein many heads would roll."
Governmental elitists are always concerned and watchful to foil citizen attempts that will hold their feet to the fire vis à vis their own adherence to laws. But carefully composed, well-structured and legally sufficient complaints can defeat such efforts, despite extreme resistance.
As for the political views of the current roster of Florida legislators, thanks for letting me know. Sounds like there's more sympathy there for Terri than I could know about over here on the West Coast.
