(Article One Year Ago) - Schiavo's marks still a mystery

Looks like Felos is using an old Saul Alinsky tactic to accuse your enemy of what you yourself are doing.

[thoughtomator]

Looks like the insulin story is getting some legs.

[CyberAnt]

That's just what I was thinking. The nurses have been on TV saying Michael was giving her insulin - and when they recorded it in the computer, it was erased.

[jess35]

Uh yeah....but this implicates the parents, not her husband.

[Anti-Communist MOM]

I would tend to agree with you, but what if the parents did stick her but took blood instead to test and see if she was getting injections of some sort???

[linn37]

People on feeding tubes are often tested for glucose levels. Its not all that easy for someone to just walk in take a blood sample and have nobody notice that you are doing that,not to mention if you don't know what you are doing your not likely to get the blood period.

[thoughtomator]

No it doesn't. Felos pointed at the parents, but he's hardly credible. Unexplained puncture wounds back up existing allegations that Michael had repeatedly injected her with insulin in an attempt to trigger her death.

[Anti-Communist MOM]

That could be why there were more than one mark, I'm not saying the parents are to blame and I agree with them but i would want to know if someone was injecting her with insulin.I may even goto lengths to see for myself.

[linn37]

You would need an order to take the sample to a lab.

[Segovia]

Ah, but Michael is, after all, a nurse (thanks to Terri's rehab money giving him an education. As for the Sheriff's department's investigation; was Michael an employee of the Sheriff's Department when this happened. He is now, and has been for some time, personally picked and hired by Sheriff Rice; who somehow managed to screw up the whole investigation of what happened to Terri in the first place.
I agree with what that Canadian Editorial said; "Every rock that is turned over in this case has a new conflict of interest come slithering out from under it".

It was probably someone in the sheriff's dept who tipped off the hospice about Jeb's plan to send in the rescue squad.

I have a feeling that someone in that camp may be getting a bellyful of Herr Schiavo. There have been reports of police officers tearing up while on their post close to Terri's room.

...was Michael an employee of the Sheriff's Department when this happened. He is now, and has been for some time, personally picked and hired by Sheriff Rice;

Schiavo was hired in late 2004, according to this:

[tina07]

the more information I read, the more outrageous this gets....state and/or federal attorney general or SOMEBODY should DO SOMETHING about all this obvious criminal activity, collusion, and cover-up.

With any luck, one of those "disgruntled" officers might decide to come clean about what he knows, and blow the lid right off that Sheriff's department. We can hope ....

If anyone actually does have the gonads to come forward, I figure it wouldn't be long before s/he wound up dead under mysterious circumstances !!!

Insulin is given subcutaneously, our just under the skin ~~ a blood sample is taken from a vein. The puncture marks were on the skin, and not a vein, according to my understanding from the article.

[Daisy4]

Not if a glucometer is used.

[PistolPaknMama]

George Felos, an attorney for Schiavo's husband, Michael Schiavo, suggested in a news release that her parents might have stuck her repeatedly with a needle during a visit to her room earlier that day

I do that to my daughter all the time. Boy does she get hot with me. Especially when my lawyer yaps about it later. It's worth the fun though.

/major sarcasm these people are pigs barf

[praxi]

Thanks Slyfox.

There might be some reading this page who don't know Michael Schiavo's history of reported attempted insulin injection, as reported by I believe multiple nurses. Carla Sauer's sworn affadavit, if I remember, is the most telling. Kudos to Carla, who gives a clear, strong testimony. She found insulin in the garbage after a suspicious Michael visit where Terri had a big blood sugar change, and Carla helped her back to recovery. She did report it to the police that night. When she indicated she didn't actually see visually a Michael injection they Greered it. (ie. washed their hands.. out damn spot).

The nurse who spoke about possible insulin injections did so re incidents in a 1996 time frame.
