Open Letter to Michael Schiavo-Frank Pavone

[k]

Is the kitchen getting too hot for you?

What does kitchen or heat have to do with watching something being purposefully spun out of recognition?

Besides, I'm usually the one bringing the heat!

LOL. So true. Hence, your name.

Aren't those horns on your CF character....or just ears?

Well I guess that would depend on who you ask

Lets see....
I used to practice astral projection, (so that's a horn for me)
I had the plug pulled on my mother (nother horn)
No life support supplied for my dad (and yet another horn)
I've been excomunicated (still yet another horn)
My fruit tree is not overbearing with fruit, so still more horns.

Guess I've got a place reserved for me also

That's five horns, right? Here you go...

Wow, I leave for class and come home and we're now debating the state of Michael Schaivo's soul?

As far as I'm concerned the moral of the story is- get a living will. Make your wishes known. Make it official. Get a lawyer to draw it up.
That's all I have to say about this now.

I wonder when the French think of devil horns do they refer to these?

Oh come on...Michael adamantly refused to have Terri feed any other way except through a feeding tube. I would love to have seen what Terri could without the feeding tube. One of the nurse fed Terri through the mouth just fine. And then Michael walked in and saw that, he got really upset and wanted Terri to be put back on the feeding tube. Please don't defend Michael. His actions are too suspicious. If his story didn't have holes, I wouldn't be this involved. But that is not the case. He personifies evil.

I don't believe I defended anyone I simply explained the FACTS of life support and what a feeding is.

Now as to whether his actions are suspicious or not, I really don't know. I wasn't there and neither I suspect were you. You and 99.9% of the rest of the world are simply making a judgment based on what you have read the media.

As for a nurse feeding Terri, yes you can conceivable feed someone who needs a feeding tube, but you run the very real possibility of asphyxiation or chemical pneumonia. At any rate a feeding tube is put in at the recommendation of a speech therapist and a neurologist who do swallowing study to determine if the patient can safely swallow on their own. If there is any chance they can't a tube is ordered. Michael could no more order a feeding than you or I unless you are a doctor and even they rely on specialists.

lol...yeah...that's why they gave me the name.

What was Michael afraid of if Terri was being fed by mouth? That she would choke and die? . He is evil reincarnate. No, what Michael was afraid of is that if Terri can chew and swallow, that means she was conscious that everyone can witness. Then, he would lose all his credibility and case. I was not there, but I don't need to. Just like I wasn't present at the time when Jesus talked to his apostles, but I know He exists.

Anyhow, Michael's big shadow was cast over the nurse big time. And Michael DID order Terri be fed through the tube. That's not even debatable. It's a fact.

And to add:

People still think the parents are the bad guys in this. But it's Michael who's making the money off Terri with his new book, the Dateline interview, etc. Her parents seemed to have dropped from the radar.

And you still blame the parents for trying to "selfishly make her suffer"? Hello?!? Mikey's exploiting the poor dead woman! How much sicker can ya get?

just so you know Terri's parents book comes out tomorrow. So if we want to talk about who is out to make money both party's will fair well off this tragedy. If nothing else comes out of this you know you need a living will as was stated in here some where.

 

[Ginny]

i won't buy either book. what more is there to want to know? we already know the ending. we also knew the between.

Don't forget the behind the scenes.

 

[Quantos]

Ahh but what about the story behind the story of the story about the story of the person writing the story ?

 

[k]

I'm going to write a book about people who talk about issues and others who experienced those issues writing books to not make money, but just "share" their story while the e-interlocutors continue searching cyberspace for their own comfy star-spangled couch!

 

[Rochir]

We're still all here?

Yep they're all money hungry - yeah, even the parents.

If nothing else comes out of this you know you need a living will as was stated in here some where.

I agree 100%.

 

[SummerMadness]

I never understood this obsession with a brain dead woman who really was nothing more than a shell with a liquified brain. The autopsy even showed this, the autopsy showed here condition was even worse than people thought to believe. How can one see people when one is blind?

 

[Ginny]

Summer,

I think the point that Michael was "shady" in the first place had something to do with people's reactions. Also, b/c he was playing house with another woman while still legally married.

Facts are facts, though. You are right.

Based on what I've read.. proceeds from the Schindler book will go to charity. I read it a few months ago, when talk of the book was first published. But here is a recent link mentioning it too.
