Attorney Pat Anderson: "Terri ahh, got her hair done that day, and
spent more money than he thought she should have... They had a GREAT
BIG fight before he went off to work. Ahh, she was so upset about
the fight, that she called her best friend from work, a girl that
she had discussed, perhaps both of them getting a divorce, and
taking an apartment together... She called this girl, Jackie Rhodes,
told her about the big fight... She was sufficiently upset that
Jackie Rhodes asked her: "Should I come over? Should I come over and
spend the night with you so you'll be safe?"

"And Terri said, "No, I'll either be asleep, or pretend to be asleep
when he gets home from work."... and the next thing Jackie heard,
was she was in the emergency room."

From FoxNews Channel - "On the Record with Greta" - Schiavo segment -
Monday, 27 oct 2003

Greta: The husband of a severely brain-damaged woman has until
Wednesday to challenge Florida Governor Jeb Bush's order to reinsert
his wife's feeding tube. Last Tuesday, Bush issued the order six
days after Michael Schiavo won court approval to disconnect his wife
Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.

Tonight, in an interview, Michael Schiavo said: "This is Terri's
wish and I'm going to follow that wish if its the last thing I can
do for her".

Joining us from Tampa is Pat Anderson, the attorney for the parents
of Terri Schiavo. Welcome Pat.

Pat Anderson: Good evening, You know, Michael Schiavo ALSO said,
NOBODY ever talks about death, and I think he's got it quite right.
He knows that these are not Terri's wishes. She was just 26 years
old!

Greta: Alright, well I want to talk a little bit about, her last day
before she ended up in the hospital, and the unfortunate things that
unfolded since then. But, umm, when was the FIRST time he ever said
that Terri would not want to be on life support?

Anderson: The first time that anybody in the family ever HEARD about
that was in January of 2000. He SPRUNG that on the family. And he
brought his brother, and one of his sisters-in-law down, to back him
up on that, but NOBODY had EVER heard that before! Certainly not...

Greta: Well let me tell you what I'm a little bit confused about...
I've got a deposition from two different occasions, maybe you can
explain it to me. The first one I will pull up, its from November
19, 1993, in which Michael said: "He was talking about removing the
feeding tube," meaning the doctor, "and I said I couldn't do that to
Terri." Now that means his intention was NOT to remove the... at
least in 1993.

Greta: That same day, in the same deposition, he said this: "I put
a - after speaking with my doctor, I gave an order not to treat a
bladder infection Terri had." The attorney then asked a
question, "So when you made that decision not to treat Terri's
bladder infection, you in effect, were making a decision to allow
her to pass on?" Michael Schiavo: "I was making a decision on what
Terri would want"

Greta: So in that same day, we have two conflicting things he was
saying in 1993. How do I know what to believe?

Anderson: Its HARD to know what to believe with him, because he says
what the occasion demands, or whats in his financial interest. He
told a medical malpractice jury just exactly one year before that
deposition fragment that you put up, that he would ALWAYS take care
of Terri, for the REST of his life. And yet there he was within a
matter of months, directing that antibiotics be withheld. Its HARD
to know.

Greta: Alright, lets go back... give me a quick rundown... the day
she ah, tell me what happened her last day before she ended up in
the hospital.

Anderson: Terri ahh, got her hair done that day, and spent more
money than he thought she should have... They had a GREAT BIG fight
before he went off to work. Ahh, she was so upset about the fight,
that she called her best friend from work, a girl that she had
discussed, perhaps both of them getting a divorce, and taking an
apartment together... She called this girl, Jackie Rhodes, told her
about the big fight... She was sufficiently upset that Jackie Rhodes
asked her: "Should I come over? Should I come over and spend the
night with you so you'll be safe?"

Anderson: And Terri said, "No, I'll either be asleep, or pretend to
be asleep when he gets home from work."... and the next thing Jackie
heard, was she was in the emergency room.

Greta: Alright, um, is there ANY indications she had ANY head
injuries from from any records there are... any physical injuries at
all?

Anderson: There is a NOTATION that her neck was "rigid",
and "stiff", and that her body was stiff, when she posit...
[interrupted]

Greta: What does that mean? in the 40 seconds we have left, I'm
sorry to do this time thing to you.

Anderson: Well, Dr. Hammesfahr, a neurologist who testified at a big
evidenciary hearing last year, said HE had only seen ONE other neck
THAT rigid, and that was in an attempted STRANGULATION victim.
There's LOTS of questions about this case. LOTS of unanswered
questions.

Greta: And, we're going to continue to follow this. I'm sorry to
give you so little time but these fires have consumed all of our
time tonight. Pat THANK YOU!
