Our Fight4Terri

Finally, a single sourcebook of the evidence that seeks to refute the travesty of justice and lies that kept Terri hostage all these years. See the documents that allowed Felos, Bushnell, and Schiavo to march their charade of hearsay and falsities through Greer's court and the 2nd DCA with impunity. The response to the information in this book must be heard by those in power with the ability to stop the judicial madness hell-bent on legalizing euthanasia, at least long enough to investigate the underlying motivations of the powers driving this case to the inevitable death of Terri. Read the actual documents and decide for yourself!

Our Fight4Terri has revealed new interpretations of all the events surrounding Terri's "collapse". This book has introduced the truth behind her injuries, the most likely cause of such massive acute trauma, and the failure of our society to protect Terri and to treat her injuries. This book also sheds new light on the character of Michael Schiavo and the relationship he shared with Terri...a relationship that, in the opinion of the authors and that of many experts, teetered on the brink of divoce and domestic violence. This relationship has been attested to by numerous eye witnesses and documented testimony.

This book exposes what the authors feel to be the lack of character and professional integrity that would lead Felos and Bushnell to lower themselves to the "FABAL" incident and the appearance of the Bar Association's "complicity by design" in its efforts to protect its members from the consequences of misconduct. Our Fight4Terri reveals a tremendous amount of evidence that proves, once and for all, that Terri was not in a PVS or any other bogus and antiquaited "condition" invented solely for the purpose of measuring an appropriate timing for euthanasia. Read about numerous new advances in medicine and research that patients like Terri are benefiting from. See how the "powers that be" respond to exposure of the state's laws and regulations. Read exposed examples of the very Medicare fraud and violations that were specifically cited in the Medicare Bulletin issued by their Office of the Inspector General. At almost exactly the same time Terri was illegally admitted to the hospice unit, a Medicare Fraud Bulletin was issued to invetigators to look out for patients being prematurely admitted to hospice facilities in order to access those benefits. They also cited a large increase in fraudulent certifications of patients as terminally ill who were not, and therefore did not qualify for hospice care. Read the revelation of what is, at best, a miserable failure in the operations of AHCA, the Agency for Health Care Administration, a state agency under direct oversight of Jeb Bush. And finally, but certainly not at its end, read about the consequences and danger to millions of disabled and elderly Americans in the wake of Terri's death.

Cheryl Ford, RN, CEO, is a licensed Registered Nurse in the state of Washington. She is the founder and CEO of her own company which assists in financial, social and clinical assessment and placement of patients requiring a wide range of skilled medical treatment to over 450 licensed Adult Family Homes. The licensed Adult Family Homes are owned and operated by doctors and nurses. Cheryl was recipient of a Golden Acorn Award in 1990 for voluntarily taking leave of her several careers to singlehandedly nurse a neighbor's six year old daughter through the last five months of her terminal cancer. This act of selflessness enabled this child to spend those months at home with her family rather than in a hospital. While also maintaining another residence and an additional business in the state of Florida, her involvement as an activist in the Terri Shiavo case has arisen as a concerned citizen, as well as from the knowledge and experience gained from over 25 years as a Clinical Case Manager, licensed Registered Nurse, and former firefighter/paramedic.
