  1. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    What the Schindlers may or may not be doing is not the point. And actually, I know quite a bit about this case. But then, neither is that the point. You have accused the parents of a dying woman of...

  2. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    But you said that this was "due to the schindlers." So what explicit evidence do you have that they did this, even indirectly? Jim Huffman,

    What explicit evidence do you have that Michael Schiavo's life was threatened "due to the schindlers"? Jim Huffman,

  4. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Mercy, you mis-read me! I thought it was a good article, and appreciate the perspective that -- as a person with disabilities -- had to offer to the debate. Thanks for posting it. Jim Huffman,

  5. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Your call, of course. But that wasn't her "rhetoric": it was the headline in The Harvard Crimson. The bigger question, perhaps, is whether we are gaining any ground in such a crucial debate by mincing...

  6. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    From FoxNews.com, on Thursday: "The state court request by Gov. Bush and the state's social services agency to take custody of Schiavo may have been the Schindlers' final option. The request cited new...

    James Huffman replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You have found out one of the best uses for your hard-working senators and members of congress. :chuckle I encourage people to give these people something to occupy their hours. When you have a...

  9. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Precisely. When families "come to terms with the situation," there's no need for outside (governmental, or otherwise) intervention. But when -- for whatever reason -- there's no coming to terms,...

  10. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    As I noted in my original post, family decisions are never just that. In our society, we have all kinds of limits on what families can do, and if the family goes beyond those limits, society -- in...

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    1. Your "obviously" is wrong. Since 1981, to be exact. Perhaps you will enlighten me as to what I am supposedly not understanding about the dehydration process. 2. Emotions are not what I'm...

  12. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    1. There is difference of opinion with those who have examined Ms. Schiavo as to whether she is in PVS. 2. Even given that, at our stage of knowledge, we simply don't know enough about the...

  13. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    The problem here is that we have defined this as being merely a family's personal decision. However, decisions involving life and death are NEVER simply family decisions. And in the absence of...

  14. Legality and Ethics of Terri's past nurses talking to the press

    James Huffman replied to ScarlettRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did the nurse say this, or are you making an assumption? Jim Huffman,

  15. Legality and Ethics of Terri's past nurses talking to the press

    James Huffman replied to ScarlettRN's topic in General Nursing

    Michael Schiavo will never sue anyone for slander. Such a suit would then open up his own life, behavior, and nasty mouth to legal scrutiny. When the Schindler family encouraged Michael Schiavo to...

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    1. ms. schiavo is alive. that much we know. michael schiavo has consistently blocked any ability to do a full, complete, and impartial evaluation of her rehabilitation potential. let me kindly...

  17. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    1. She is most definitely responsive; the videos indicate that. Saying otherwise is simply ignoring the evidence. 2. "We" are paying for a lot of stuff. I'm not exactly sure why the costs spent on...

  18. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    1. The only "Schiavo family" is that of Michael Schiavo and Terry Schiavo. The family I presume you're referring to is the Schindler family. 2. No, Ms. Schiavo is not "long since past." She is --...

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    She did. Carla Iyer, RN: "I ultimately called the police relative to this situation, and was terminated the next day." Then she provided an affidavit of what she had seen and heard. I am proud of...

  20. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    So, let me get this straight. You don't believe a nurse who has nothing to gain from this, and who has provided a notarized affidavit of her observations, but you believe Michael Schiavo's lawyer?...

  21. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh. Once again, the loving Michael Schiavo. Devoted, supportive and grieving husband. And the information from Carla Sauer Iyer, R.N., Ms. Schiavo's nurse: "It was clear to me at Palm Gardens...

  22. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    However, the only time Ms. Schiavo would have been "insurable" from an insurance standpoint would have been prior to the initial incident that disabled her -- in other words, 15 years ago, when she...

  23. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Important to remember: if he's listed as the "owner" of any life insurance policy, then he would keep the policy even in the event of a divorce. It's also possible (this is sheer speculation -- I...

  24. is it "an NP" or "a NP"

    James Huffman replied to rachkar's topic in General Nursing

    When speaking , it's "an NP." When writing a paper, it's "a nurse practitioner." : ) Jim Huffman,

  25. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    James Huffman replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    But how Ms. Schiavo got to the point has always been a question for the government, as it would be for anyone who has been abused. If she has been abused by Michael Schiavo, then he should stand...
