Did not. If you will repost, I would appreciate it. Walter seems unable to articulate specifics.
No problem :-)
http://majikthise.typepad.com/majikthise_/200... Lies Terri Schiavo's parents told me
1. Terri is conscious ... Court-appointed, government-appointed, and private physicians have confirmed that Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). Schiavo suffered massive brain damage 15 years ago and ongoing neurological degeneration.
2. There are new treatments that might help Terri ... Despite what Terri's parents say, there are no new treatments that could help their daughter. Anyone who claims that he can improve Terri's level of consciousness is a quack. You can't treat a brain that isn't there.
3. Terri's collapse is unexplained and/or suspicious ... In an attempt to discredit Michael Schiavo, Terri's parents and their supporters are circulating unsubstantiated rumors of abuse and even accusations of attempted murder.
4. Michael Schiavo abused Terri ... There is no evidence that anyone abused Terri. A judge ruled the abuse allegation irrelevant years ago, but Terri's "supporters" are determined to keep meme alive just to destroy Michael Schiavo's reputation.
5. Terri's brain damage was caused by a closed head injury
6. Michael Schiavo just wants to inherit Terri's fortune ... What fortune? Even the pro-tube Terri Schiavo Foundation reports that of the nearly one million dollar malpractice settlement earmarked for Terri's future medical care, less than $50,000 is left.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0603/2... 7. BOBBY SCHINDLER, TERRI SCHIAVO`S BROTHER: There`s a reason Michael and his attorney are doing everything they can to keep Terri hidden from the public. Terri could be sitting here right now. She could be on the House floor during this debate.
8. ROBERT SCHIAVO: ROBERT SCHIAVO: Well, it was tragic, is that -- right next to Terri`s bed, there was a vase with water. And we had -- they had a SWAT team member in the room at all times, so we couldn`t go near Terri, for fear that we would be, you know, giving her water. So she was closely guarded. They had police outside of her door. And...
GRACE: So you couldn`t give her water.
ROBERT SCHIAVO: So we couldn`t get near her.
9. MARY SCHIAVO: She was very active during those two weeks until the -- you know,(INAUDIBLE) she got closer, but the first week, she tried so hard to talk and to communicate, just like she used to.... of interest as Mary was not there the last week of Terri's life.
10. BOBBY SCHINDLER: The money came in, and it all stopped. In 1991, it is medically documented that that was the last time Terri had any rehabilitation or therapy.
11. GRACE: You know, that`s very interesting. Isn`t it true, Mary, that there was a 1991 bone scan that showed injury to one of her bones?
MARY SCHINDLER: Yes, she had a broken femur.
GRACE:... and then, by the time the autopsy was done, just last year, it was there -- It was not there.
GUPTA: And I don`t want -- the family obviously knows better than I, but I`m just going on what I have here, Nancy. The bone scan showed that she had some areas of what`s called hyper-ostosis (ph), which is basically just overgrowth of bone in certain areas of her body. Now, that could be in respond to a fracture. Some people get that as a consequence of immobility, as well. So someone who`s immobilized for a long time may start to develop a lot of bone in that area...
And my favorite
12. MARY SCHINDLER: Well, she told me that, you know, that they weren`t intimate probably...
GRACE: They weren`t having sex?
MARY SCHINDLER: Right, the last year.
GRACE: For a year?
MARY SCHINDLER: No, no, no, no, the year before, I mean, in that year before she collapsed...
Interesting in a woman trying to get pregnant. No sex?????
