PHOTO: "I WAS TUBE FED!"

[Bluebear]

Well, look at you!

And did you see a frigging BAGPIPER was parading around the hospice last night? Just what a dying patient needs to hear.

[BlueEyedSon]

1. These people have no common courtesy.

[TrustingDog]

5. they're nucking futs. this is beyond crazyInsaneLoonanity.

someone pinch me, hard.

[nini]

2. you also had some brain function..

well, I think you do. :evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

4. I dunno, that fetal position concerns me

Poor quality of life there. ;)

[Squatch]

3. Looks like she needs to try another way of getting nourishment

It seems as if tube feeding is leaving her weak and unable to assume any other position besides the fetal one.

7. too many tube steaks, maybe?

that's what a steady diet of fundy wieners will do to you.

[WindRavenX]

8. I'll say it again: THESE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING IDIOTS

Yo kid, is your cerebral cortex liquefied?
No? Then STFU. Being tube fed is NOT the same as Terri's condition you ignorant shit. :grr:

[deadparrot]

9. Could those kids be any more apathetic? nt

[gollygee]

10. It isn't the feeding tube - it's her CONDITION!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHH!!

:banghead:

[Walt Starr]

11. I was bottle fed myself

but back in those days, a lot of women bottle fed the babies so I can't blame my mom.

[mondo joe]

12. My friend who is in surgery RIGHT NOW has been tube fed

for the last few weeks. And she reiterated her position before surgery that if she is in PVS, pull the tube.

So there, you snide little fuck.

[lastliberalintexas]

13. Yeah

I guess these idiots will never admit that this has absolutely nothing to do with Terri Schiavo's physical condition- it has to do with her legal right to make a decision concerning her medical care. Tube fed or not.

Good luck to your friend.

[mondo joe]

17. Thanks. It fucking pisses me off that my friend has spent 5 weeks of

the last 4 months in the hospital, has had one surgery, has been on a feeding tube for several weeks, is in surgery even as I type, her 5 year old daughter is with me so her husband can be at the hospital, and this stupid shit thinks being tube fed makes her a fucking authority.

[Bluebear]

19. Mj all the best to you and your friend

One thing that ticks me off about the whole affair is people are suffering every day and these protesting smug asses don't give a rat's behind about them. I hope everything improves for you and yours, friend.

[mondo joe]

21. Thanks. Her odds are good, but it's major surgery that will change

her life, and there's always a risk. :-(

[Connie_Corleone]

14. Does she still have cerebral cortex??

Why do these people keep forgetting about the liquefied cerebral cortex??

They probably don't even know about it.

[ima_sinnic]

22. that's what I keep thinking! how could they MISS that?

can they explain why she can't just reach over and reconnect her feeding tube?

[tnlefty]

15. Well, la ti frickin' da! Obviously with a chance to get better!

Hey, so was my first child 'cause he was pre-term and hadn't developed the reflex to suck and swallow yet. But he has a functioning brain, and he improved and is now a bright teenager!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. Oh my god! They killed Kenny!

[name not needed]

20. You bastards!

[HEyHEY]

18. I hate it when parents use their kids like this

[TrustingDog]

23. I was once sympathic to all families and friends involved in this...

but now I'm leaning way toward Mr. and Mrs. Schlinder being lower than pond scum. Especially the Mister.

[LittleClarkie]

24. No consideration of the other patients

It sure does look like a circus over there. Tents and everything.

[Bluebear]

25. And bagpipes, don't forget the bagpipes!

Of course I can't stand them and I am well but that's personal taste. They do evoke funerals to me, though...I can only imagine what the 70 other hospice patients think as they listen to Amazing Grace being wailed on that thing.

[Bunny]

26. I can't believe that they aren't violating some noise ordinance or

something. Can't those asshats be arrested for disturbing the peace? If my loved one was in that hospice, it would take everything I have to not go medieval on those ignorant fucks!

[WilliamPitt]

27. Just like Sun Hudson

Be thankful you weren't born in Texas, kid...and that you're white.
