Have our courts catered to a monster?
10. Any time Terri would be sick, like with a UTI or fluid buildup in her
lungs, colds, or pneumonia, Michael would be visibly excited, thrilled
even, hoping that she would die. He would say something like,
"Hallelujah! You've made my day!" 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.
Note that this is a sworn affadavit, and being a licensed nurse, Ms. Ayer has everything to lose and nothing to gain by perjuring herself. The rest of the document makes for interesting, albeit disturbing reading, alleging everything from denial of the most basic therapy, to removal of all procedural records and positive nursing notes. Sworn testimony is also present in this affadavit suggesting that Terri was quite aware of her environment.
Mind you, this was taken in 2003, a year and a half before this issue has come to a head. Why was it ignored? If the content of this affadavit is false, why haven't prosecutorial procedures against Ms. Ayer been initiated? Why did Mr. Schaivo deny even the most basic therapy, including range of motion?
Why is it that the ghouls who buy in to the culture of death cast Mr. Schiavo as a hero who only wants to alleviate his wife's suffering? Judging by this sworn testimony, at best, this looks like a case of Munchausen by Proxy; at worst, this is a case of a greedy slimeball who is looking for an early demise for his estranged wife, so as to be able to collect what remains of a sizeable legal settlement.
