wonder how much of this is true.

None of it, I think. Or you would have seen it spread all over the cable news. Remember, the side trying to "save" her is well organized, funded, and willing to do almost anything to win.

Remember, this has been litigated for years. The State Pols did everything they could to stop the plug being pulled. If there was any truth to this, they would have succeeded.

Micheal, I read you comments.

Judge George Greer, who has consistently ruled against Terri Schiavo's right to life,

I see Judge George Greer who has consistently upheld Micheal Schvios as the husband is the legal guardian and his belief's do express the wishes of Terri Schivo.

As to friends in the clinic. The longer Terri lives, the longer they have a paying patient. The conflict of interes is????

And as to believing any posting of factual interpretations of what others did, when and why, I am extremely skeptical.
The wording used in that link shows rhetoric+++

On the money, thing, Michael Schiavo was offered a million recently to walk away. After a decade of medical and legal costs, how much of 1.2 million do you suspect would be left.

If Micheal Schiavo walks away, he gets a million and Terri Schivo's body is kept breathing and she is a paying patient somewhere, Micheal Schiavo would no longer have to pay. But
Judge George Greer's friends may have a competitive hospice that will have a paying patient.

Now I will add this just current newsmax story.
Nurse: Terri Can Eat Normally

A certified nursing assistant who cared for Terri Schiavo in 1997 filed a sworn affidavit in the case stating that she was able to feed Schiavo normally on multiple occasions - but that husband Michael Schiavo would allow only a feeding tube.

This article paints Michael Schivo as satanic evil. I believe it's the main purpose of the article.

But what is the physical reality?

President Bush changed his schedule to be in Washinton to sign a bill that would allow placing something like this.

back into Ms Schivo. Something the may not be needed according to the learned nurse.

I thought originally this device was in the throat. But as I thought about it that made no sense. But with the right google filter...... has pics and good explanation... pediatric.um-surgery.org

What is a gastrostomy feeding tube?

A gastrostomy feeding tube is either a tube or a button (skin level device) that is surgically placed into the stomach through the abdominal wall. There are a wide variety of tubes and skin level devices available. Your surgeon will choose the device which best meets you and your child?s needs with the least invasive technique.
