Finally some good advice.
They have to. It's either B.S. or Deejay was being hydrated (and nourished) intraveinously.

Sorry, jacki... I meant Liam, not you.... My mistake.
Actually, jackibutterfly was responding to the poster who made the comment in #7, not saying herself that Terri is a vegetable.
Oops, saw you corrected yourself. Sorry :)
How many days did you go without any fluids either by mouth or by IV?

You should call the Guiness Book of World Records, if you can document this.
You should also write a book on how you did it.
Do I sound skeptical? What do you think?
Or perhaps I was the only stupid one.
We stand against the barbarism of starvation of the innocent.
If you want the woman dead so badly, why don't you demand she be given a lethal injection? That's the treatment due an animal near death. Is Terri Schiavo less than an animal?
In fact, why not do it yourself, you merchant of death? What, no guts? Would you rather hide behind a sick judge and let him do your dirty work for you?
In fact, if someone walked into her room and put a bullet in her head, wouldn't that be more humane than starving her slowly?
One of these days we are going to be on opposite sides at the final battle. Boy, is it going to be a pleasure to see people like you go down.
LOL, it's nice to see a post from you, always a voice of reason.
It is my understanding that Terri was awarded a large sum of money in her malpractice suit specifically to pay for that level of care for a period of about forty years. At that time (when seeking the award), her husband was adamant about her life expectancy and the need to care for her. Where did those funds go? I've read that they went into trust for her, but that her husband received authorization from Judge Greer to apply them to the legal bills incurred in his quest to starve her.
"I went 8 weeks (twice in one year) without food or water."
Liar.
It seems to me that Deejay's story, if true, certainly substantiates the claim that doctors don't know everything. If, in fact, Deejay was able to pull off what would appear to be a medical miracle, one would think she (I believe it's she) would be more hesitant to label Terri beyond hope. After all, Deejay would seem to be living proof that miracles can happen, especially when she mentions how she cured herself after extensive medical care failed.
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was doped up & didn't realize she was getting nourishment. Of course, so much for her credibility.
Not so fast, please. I'm trying to get clarification.
the Deejay reminds of the guy in college on my dorm floor who told us he once did a shot of tequila every minute for an hour. He also told us he helped write Boyz II Men's album with them, and that he was on the US ping-pong team but quit to come to school. i.e. he was a liar.
