I'm almost glad you can't see that video, Marta, because I know it would upset you more, as it did me. I agree with Laura, there is no way you'll convince me that Terri was pvs.
Dunno if you saw the following article. You might want to take a look, but be aware it will take strength to read it to the end. I couldn't stop the tears after getting part way thru and had to come back to it later.

You are right, Marta, that what happened in this case was very wrong and it's obvious that the media has again kept the real story from us. BTW, rumor has it that Felos is on the board of directors of that hospice...
I hope it hits the fan over this one.
