This is info the mainstream media isn’t reporting: multiple nurses and others who cared for Terri Schiavo over the years contradict Michael Schaivo’s claims about his wife, and portray him as an abusive and cruel man who wanted her money. The following quotations are from affadavits on file at terrisfight.org. To access them, go to the site and click on “court documents” on the right navigation bar. These documents will then appear on the left, among many others.

From Attempted Murder

Michael Schiavo is lying about Terri’s desire to die

“He would confide all the time in me that he did not know…I swear to you he never knew what Terri wanted. He would confide in me all the time about how he did not know….I have tried to avoid reading and listening about any of the Terri Schiavo case, but I felt guilty because I did not want to get involved. I should have sooner, and my heart is sick for the rest of the Schindler family.” — Trudy Capone, nurse and former caregiver for Terri Schiavo

Michael Schiavo was cruel to Terri and wanted her to die

“Throughout my time at Palm Gardens, Michael Schiavo was focused on Terri’s death. Michael would say “When is she going to die?,” “Has she died yet?” and “When is that bitch gonna die?” These statements were common knowledge at Palm Gardens, as he would make them casually in passing, without regard even for who he was talking to, as long as it was a staff member. Other statements which I recall him making include “Can’t you do anything to accelerate her death – won’t she ever die?” When she wouldn’t die, Michael would be furious.” — Carla Sauer Iyer, Registered Nurse and former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

“On one occasion Michael Schiavo arrived with his girlfriend, and they entered Terri’s room together. I heard Michael tell his girlfriend that Terri was in a persistent vegetative state and was dying. After they left, Olga told me that Terri was extremely agitated and upset, and wouldn’t react to anyone. When she was upset, which was usually the case after Michael was there, she would withdraw for hours. We were convinced that he was abusing her, and probably saying cruel, terrible things to her because she would be so upset when he left.” — Heidi Law, former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

“Any time Terri would be sick, like with a UTI or fluid buildup in her lungs, colds, pneumonia, Michael would be visibly excited, thrilled even, hoping that she would die. He would call me, as I was the nurse supervisor on the floor, and ask for every little detail about her temperature, blood pressure, etc., and would call back frequently asking if she was dead yet. He would blurt out “I’m going to be rich!,” and would talk about all the things he would buy when Terri died, which included a new car, a new boat, and going to Europe, among other things.” — Carla Sauer Iyer, Registered Nurse and former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

“Several times when Michael visited Terri during my shift, he went into her room alone and closed the door. This worried me because I didn’t trust Michael. When he left, Terri was very agitated, was extremely tense with tightened fists and some times had a cold sweat. She was much less responsive than usual and would just stare out the window, her eyes kind of glassy. It would take much more time and effort than usual to work her hands open to clean her palms.” — Heidi Law, former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

Terri Schiavo is not in a “persistent vegetative state”, and is able to talk

“Terri’s medical condition was systematically distorted and misrepresented. When I worked with her, she was alert and oriented. Terri spoke on a regular basis while in my presence, saying such things as “mommy,” and “help me.” “Help me” was, in fact, one of her most frequent utterances. I heard her say it hundreds of times. Terri would try to say the word “pain” when she was in discomfort, but it came out more like “pay.” She didn’t say the “n” sound very well.” — Carla Sauer Iyer, Registered Nurse and former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

“The Palm Gardens staff, myself included, were just amazed that a “Do Not Resuscitate” order had been put on Terri’s chart, considering her age and her obvious cognitive awareness of her surroundings…During the time I cared for Terri, she formed words. I have heard her say “mommy” from time to time, and “momma,” and she also said “help me” a number of times. She would frequently make noises like she was trying to talk. Other staff members talked about her verbalizations.” — Heidi Law, former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

“Terri had very definite likes and dislikes. Olga and I used to call Terri “Fancy Pants,” because she was so particular about certain things. She just adored her baths, and was so happy afterward when she was all clean, smelling sweet from the lotion her mother provided, and wearing the soft nightgowns her mother laundered for her. Terri definitely did not like the taste of the teeth-cleaning swabs or the mouthwash we used. She liked to have her hair combed. She did not like being tucked in, and especially hated it if her legs were tightly tucked. You would always tell when Terri had a bowel movement, as she seem agitated and would sort of “scoot” to get away from it…In the past, I have taken care of comatose patients, including those in a persistent vegetative state. While it is true that those patients will flinch or make sounds occasionally, they don’t do it as a reaction to someone on a constant basis who is taking care of them, the way I saw Terri do…I witnessed a priest visiting Terri a couple of times. Terri would become quiet when he prayed with her. She couldn’t bow her head because of her stiff neck, but she would still try. During the prayer, she would keep her eyes closed, opening them afterward. She laughed at jokes he told her. I definitely know that Terri “is in there.”
” — Heidi Law, former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

Terri can eat without a feeding tube, and will do so if fed

“I personally saw her swallow the ice water and never saw her gag. Olga and I frequently put orange juice or apple juice in her washcloth to give her something nice to taste, which made her happy. On three or four occasions I personally fed Terri small mouthfuls of Jello, which she was able to swallow and enjoyed immensely. I did not do it more often only because I was so afraid of being caught by Michael.” — Heidi Law, former caregiver of Terri Schiavo

    The governement’s intervention into our personal lives and matters is upsetting and disturbing. Legislators grandstanding, taking steps to further determinate State’s rights is not the direction we should be endorsing or heading towards. The marriage contract, one so many are forcing down our throats as only allowed between a man & woman is being infringed upon. This is a personal matter, between a wife and a husband, not one that should be legislated over with faith and religious influence, or political panhandling. Once this country starts allowing faith-based legislative actions and starts passing legislation based on one faith, and its set of ideals, is the day we all start going to hell in a hand basket. The same extreme fundamentalism that many extol to be the source of the terrorists is exactly the same extreme influential fundamentalism we should fear within our own borders.

    And I’ll post a quote from an actual Republican conservative that says pretty much exactly what my thoughts are:

    “To simply say that the ‘culture of life,’ or whatever you call it means that we don’t have to pay attention to the principles of federalism or separation of powers is certainly not a conservative viewpoint…It contradicts a lot of what those behind it say they believe: the sanctity of the family, the sacred bond between husband and wife, the ability of all of us to make private decisions without the hand of government intervening, deference to states and localities as opposed to the centralized government,” said former Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga.

    Basically the amount of ***-kissing by those politicians in Congress to the religious right is amazing, all for votes and not for the best interest of this country…that is the saddest part of all.

    Unfortunately I feel that the religious right has become slightly unhinged over this matter. While villifying judge Greer probably makes you feel better, did you know that Greer is a devout christian and a republican. If allowed to rule from his heart, he would made a different judgement in this case. Instead, he chose to uphold the law and in return, he was kicked out of his church. Shame on that congrigation for expecting Greer to break the law, no matter how passionately they feel about this matter. The law is the law and personal feelings are personal feelings. The two must be separate and distinct.

    Standing up for what you know is right despite what any branch of the government says…is the duty of every Christian.

    “Standing up for what you know is right despite what any branch of the government says…is the duty of every Christian.”

    Now doesn’t this sound familiar? Anyone remember Waco, Ruby Ridge or abortion clinic bombers (course you probably think that is ok too) I believe another group of people (who know the ones we are at war with? Remember them?) are saying that exact same things.

    You people are no different.

    Fanatics who have hijacked Christianity and warped it into something it is not. It’s ok though, you will have your time standing before God.

    Sin away… It’s your afterlife.

    1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you wish to have no fear of the authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive its approval; 4 for it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for the authority F80 does not bear the sword in vain! It is the servant of God to execute wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience. 6 For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, busy with this very thing.
    Romans 13:1-6

    Thanks Cao. :razz:

  10. Boomslang

    That’s right….Cao is on the money. BibleGod IS the ultimate authority, and there is no authority except from BibleGod. The bill of rights? Huh!… Why don’t you go line your cat’s litter box with it!…The constitution of the United States of America?….Use it to prime your grill!!!! It’s junk….JUNK, I say!!!! Only BibleGod can make laws and then turn around and break them all as he sees fit, right Cao? And remember……. if it seems like we Christians have a monopoly on the Truth?…It’s because WE DO!!!! And never-you-mind if our religion has caused more atrocities against humanity than ANY other philosophy in history! It’s ALL about BibleGod and his CONDITIONAL love for you!

    Remember sheep, Love Jesus………or BURN!!!!!!!!!!:roll:

  11. TJ

    Boomslang – Wow, what a borderline incoherent rambling mess of an incorrect message!

    You are ignoring several basic facts:
    * The laws in the US are based on Judeo-Christian beliefs
    * God has never broken any (valid) law
    * While some atrocities have been committed by misguided men in the name of Christianity, the religion itself is not responsible – and in fact “this philosophy” strictly guides us away from such things.

    And, to put it bluntly, yes – believe in God or burn.

    So it all comes to this. In less than 24 hours Terri Schiavo will be dead or dying before Congress. Jeb Bush along with his DCF deputy’s refuse to face their new arch rival, Judge Greer (master of fear) who is running the show by flexing his black ro…

    BS (how fitting an abbreviation!) : “Well how ’bout if I promise you eternal life in a Kingdom of pure bliss” … you could make no such promise anymore than you could understand what ‘Eternal Life’ truly means. Thank you for playing, please drive through.

    Michael Schaivo should die the same way he is making his wife die.This man does not deserve to have the benefit of life,while committing this very public murder.The judge presiding over this case needs to be impeached & removed from office.He is just as guilty as Terri’s husband in murder:evil:.
    Although this would be a highly
    unlikely incident to happen but then God works in mysterious ways.That Terri would survive this ordeal & not die when they think she should die.Wouldn’t that blow Mr.Shaivo out of the water.All his plans to kill her gone & then he would have no choice but to give her back her nourishment.& his little judge friend on the way to impeachment.
    Hey it’s ludicrous & highly unlikely,but then so is what Terri’s husband is doing to her:twisted:
