Michael Schiavo wasn't "claiming" she did, hon. There was *no need* for him to.
A few people in the media, ignorant of terminology, used the term Heart Attack, and her parents' Dr hammesfahr and other of their spokesmen jumped on it - used it as a straw man - "oooh... we discovered she didn't have a Heart Attack, like we were told, now we don't know why she collapsed".
Hammesfahr and her siblings were saying that, even in March. It was so dishonest, it was the first hint to me that these people had no integrity, regardless of what we think of MS.
Cardiac arrest is written on her chart for any fool to see who cares about the facts as much as do the conspiracies.
Off to the movies.
OK, so maybe even MS recognized Terri had no HA.
Frankly, I don't care. I don't have any evidence that MS was so bad, but there was scant evidence Terri wanted to die & so on, either, which is the bottom line. Judge should have used *judgement* and erred on the caution and let the parents care for her.
You badmouth them all you want, but clearly Terri's parents and real family wanted to take care of her. And there's nothing wrong w/that.
