Follow the money
Terri received over $1M in a medical malpractice suit back in 1992, according to this story in WorldNetDaily. The money was supposed to be used for her long-term care and rehab.
Not a dime of it has been used for that purpose - and now, we learn the remaining balance of the judgement is in the neighborhood of around $50K.
Yeah. K.
"So where'd all this money go, Spats?", I hear you asking.
When a jury awarded Terri Schiavo more than $1 million in a medical malpractice suit against her two physicians in 1992, it did so believing the money would be used to pay for the brain-injured woman's long-term care and rehabilitation.But instead of the therapy he promised he'd provide for Terri, her estranged husband, Michael Schiavo, 41, who is also her legal guardian, used most of the money to pay attorneys to arrange his wife's death; and he did this with full court approval.
The money awarded Terri was placed in a trust fund, and a judge approved all expenditures from pedicures to attorney bills. The latter has skyrocketed over the years, as Terri's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, battled their son-in-law in the Florida courts over their daughter's right to live.
In April 1993, Terri's money was valued at $776,254. According to a financial planner, it's been estimated that if the principle had not been touched, the fund during the mid- to late 1990s would have grown and at the same time generated an annual income of at least $70,000. This easily would have paid for her care in the finest nursing home in Florida, including rehabilitation.
However, under Florida law, if Terri should die, Schiavo as spouse and guardian stood to inherit her entire trust fund.
No sooner was Terri's money in the bank than Michael Schiavo refused to begin the long-awaited rehabilitation program. He directed the nursing home where she lived not to give her antibiotics for various infections and had a "do not resuscitate" order attached to her chart. He later testified doctors had advised him that her condition was hopeless and if she became ill he should "let her die."
So, instead of spending all that money trying to assist Terri's recovery...Mikey Shitstain used it to kill her.
Oh, yeah. That's being a "doting husband", all right.
Fucking bastard...

Jackass. THERE WAS NO CHANCE AT RECOVERY.
Oh? And where's your medical degree, asshole?
(crickets chirping)
Yeah, I thought so...
Get it through your skull, moron.
Come say it to my face, pansy-ass. Whenever you're ready to get the shit knocked out of you, pussy.

No chance at recovery or not, there are to many oddities to just let that bastard kill her off on a one time comment.

Look meathead. Did I say she shouldn't die? Did I?
No. I simply stated that the situation in which this is being done is suspicious. Even if she does die, the situation surrounding Michael wants-to-be-Moore Shaivo's actions demand that her body not be cremated.
As for her personal desire to live or die, if she has one.. Her parens claim that she attempted to say "I want to live" just before the tube was pulled. Apparently she only got out something that could be translated as "I want". So, how do we know that she wasn't trying to say "I want to die".
We'll never know.
If you'll take your meds, calm down, and think, you'll find that there are a lot of people who think she should not die, specifically because of the situation surrounding her condition. NOT because they want to keep her pent up in some hospice for another 40 years.

Too bad we can't euthanasize the morally bankrupt amongst us...huh, "Biz"?
Might not get a peep out of me if a judge sentenced you to be starved to death. I can tell them you told us that you wouldn't want to live that way.
I mean, you wouldn't have a problem going out that way, would you?

Let her ascend to heaven already, fuckwads.
Real brave, calling us "fuckwads" while you're hiding behind mommy's skirt, chickenshit.
Whyn't you c'mon down and show us those pinhead-sized balls of yours, needle-dick?
Oh, and I still haven't seen your med degree, dumbass. (snicker)

Don't suppose you'd like to clarify that, would you, bucko? Do keep in mind that your access to two blogs is at stake here.

bwaaa hahahahaha ima retard.
[Get ready for another round, you cowardly fuck. Now that you've outed yourself (appropriate for a faggot like you), it's time for a little creative fun... -LSI]

Spats - that was me. I was referring to the obscene photo shit fer brains (biz) posted (that apparently has been deleted). I was trying to infer that the body part that belongs inserted in his 4th point of contact was his HEAD.
I don't visit and gratuitously insult the host. Moonbats and idiots I consider fair game.

Oh, okay, Wil - that's fine.
I kept reading it and reading it, and honestly couldn't figure out whom you were addressing.
And yeah, I deleted his shit. Once I figured out it was JBeez, I decided I didn't feel like going back and "creatively editing" his bullshit. Much easier to just delete it and once again show my superiority over the turd. :-)

Don't sweat the litle stuff.
Now, I gotta run to the church. God forgive us all.
