Subject: Nurse Carla Iyer now being targeted by Florida Dept of Health to take
away her nursing license for speaking the truth about Michael Schiavo's attempts
to kill Terri!

It is clear, and has been clear, that all along, the bureaucracy in
Florida is decidedly ANTI-life, anti-patient rights and stands with
those who wish to euthanize patients who are cognitively impaired or
disabled, such as Terri Schindler Schiavo. In case after case, instance
after instance, the Florida courts, government departments have ruled
unfairly and acted improperly to ignore all the evidence of criminal
activity which occurred, violating numerous laws in the Schiavo case.
Now, a brave nurse who spoke out to reveal the truth about how Terri was
targeted for years, is also being attacked by those who should be
praising her for standing up for the original nursing standards of care:
working to protect the lives of patients and for the original adherence
to a sanctity of life ethic within health care.

This is truly a horribly unfair abuse of power, power used in its worst
way to victimize those who truly serve the patients' interests!

EXCLUSIVE - Schiavo Nurse's License in Jeopardy For Giving Interview
http://www.northcountrygazette.org/articles/062506SchiavoNurse.html
By June Maxam North Country Gazette


When a nurse employed at Palm Garden of Largo Convalescent Center in
Largo, gave an interview last March to CNN about the conduct of Michael
Schiavo towards his ward and wife, she didn't expect that her nursing
license would be placed in jeopardy or that her First Amendment rights
would be violated.

When legal counsel for Gov. Jeb Bush asked Carla Iyer to give an
affidavit to aid in the Governor's defense of Schiavo's lawsuit against
him challenging the constitutionality of Terri's Law, she didn't expect
retaliation by a state agency against her that would result in the
revocation of her nursing license and single her out for speaking out
against Michael Schiavo.

Although the Florida Department of Health has claimed that there is no
probable cause to discipline Michael Schiavo for submitting a fraudulent
application for guardianship and falsifying his academic credentials,
according to an administrative complaint and proposed settlement
agreement served upon Carla Sauer Iyer, a former caregiver of Terri
Schiavo, DOH is seeking to permanently revoke Iyer's nursing license and
impose administrative costs not to exceed $1,683.49.

[go online for excellent article detailing this horrific and
discriminatory retaliation against a nurse who has stood firm FOR the
nursing standards of care and for life and who is being targeted by
those who care nothing about protecting the lives of patients. - R.P.]
