SCHINDLER: My sister Terri Schiavo was alive like Jahi McMath
Ethics of brain death declaration
By Bobby Schindler — Thursday, January 16, 2014
Much has been written about Jahi McMath in recent days. The 13-year-old Oakland, Calif., girl underwent surgery Dec. 9 to remove her tonsils. She was declared “brain-dead” after going into cardiac arrest.
Since that time, experts have opined on the ethics of the brain-death declaration, the family’s decision to transfer her to another facility, and the involvement of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network in helping the family.
First, let me make it clear that our organization does not initiate contact with victims and their families or with the media. We did not contact the McMaths. We did not contact any media outlet.
We were contacted, and we responded. We respond because that is our mission — to provide aid, comfort and support for vulnerable persons, and to speak truth to power. No one faces more risk in today’s health care system than our medically vulnerable.

Linda Kincaid Reports: Aging Family Services threatens daughter for exposing elder abuse of war hero
by Linda Kincaid — January 14, 2014
The National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse posted a memorial for war hero, Hugh Johnson. NASGA honored Johnson’s service in World War II and recounted the horrors of being a German prisoner of war. The memorial also recounted the greater horrors of Johnson’s last months in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Horrors of war and POW camps did not prepare Hugh for the horrors of guardianship in Wake County, North Carolina. A healthy active man who still enjoyed golf at 95, Hugh deteriorated rapidly under Guardian Cheryl Theriault of Raleigh based Aging Family Services.
Aging Family Services’ cautions “the last thing you want is for them to end up in a nursing home.” Family never imagined the nightmare Theriault’s guardianship would bring.
Theriault immediately removed Hugh from his upscale home, isolated him from family, and chemically restrained him with the anti-psychotic drug Seroquel. Five months after being taken from home, Hugh was frail, bedridden, and incontinent. His legs and feet were covered with sores that would not heal.
Denied the personal care of a loving daughter, Hugh languished at The Covington. The facility advertises “truly affordable assisted living.” Our Parents website gives The Covington 2 out of 5 stars. Daughter Ginny Johnson called it, “NASTY. NASTY.”
Comparing The Covington to his time as a POW, Hugh said, “My German captors kept me better.” Meals were missed. Rooms were filthy. Hugh suffered 28 falls, a broken rib, and his partial plate was lost.
Theriault responded by moving Hugh to Blue Ridge Nursing Home. That facility lost its eligibility for federal funding and was assessed a $4,550-a-day civil penalty for 6-weeks in spring 2012.
Geriatric Care Manager Heather Joyner of Aging Family Services so neglected Hugh that she was removed from his case. Geriatric Adult Guardianship Social Worker Karen Johnson replaced Joyner. Ginny described both Joyner and Johnson as “so, so, so HATEFUL.”
Ginny complained to Theriault over and over. She emphasized that Seroquel is not approved for use in elderly patients, and Hugh was having severe adverse reactions. Theriault ignored Ginny’s complaints, just as she ignored Hugh’s welfare and his wishes.
On January 9, 2014, attorney A. Justin Eldreth sent Ginny Johnson a cease and desist letter. The letter threatens that Cheryl Theriault and Aging Family Services will sue Ginny for defamation if Hugh Johnson’s memorial is not removed from the NASGA website.
Accordingly, we demand that you (a) immediately cease and desist your unlawful defamation of Cheryl Theriault and Aging Family Services, Inc., by writing to the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse to request that they remove any mention of either Cheryl Theriault or Aging Family Services, Inc. from their website, specifically, the information located at http://stopguardianabuse.org/hugh_johnson.htm; (b) provide this office with a copy of your written request; and (c) provide this office with prompt written assurance that you will cease and desist from further defamation of the character and reputation of Cheryl Theriault and Aging Family Services, Inc. All this must be done within ten (10) days from the date of this letter.
If you do not comply with the cease and desist demand within this time period, Cheryl Theriault and Aging Family Services, Inc. is entitled to seek monetary damages and equitable relief for your defamation. In the event that you fail to meet this demand, please be informed that Cheryl Theriault and Aging Family Services. Inc. has asked us to communicate to you that she will pursue all available remedies, including seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, and an order that you pay court costs and attorney’s fees. Your liability and exposure under such legal action could be considerable.
Ginny did not compose the memorial on the NASGA website. Ginny has no control over the NASGA website. Ginny has no ability to delete content from NASGA’s website.
Readers may express their concerns to Cheryl Theriault at Aging Family Services.

Chicago Wants to Include E-Cigs in Smoking Ban?
The truth is out, isn’t it? The smoking ban isn’t strictly about health issues. We now have proof that it is about “control” and personal preferences of the elite and very little else. Of course, that should have been obvious when smoking bans included outdoor space where second hand smoke couldn’t possibly affect an innocent bystander, who wasn’t intentionally walking into the line of smoke, but oh well… Regardless of our failure to see what was right in front of our faces, we have proof of it now. Yes, now we have proof of the truth as those who think we are stupid, want to include e-Cigs in the smoking ban.
People don’t like smoking and E-Cigs imitate that? So what? Why can’t a person have a little break room or go into a toilet stall and enjoy their pretend cigarette? How does that harm anyone else? It doesn’t. So what is the argument?
Let’s hear it.
This ought to be good.
I can’t wait to be told how I need to be protected from harmful whatever. Of course, if I find it upsetting to see a mother (whom I don’t know) nurse her baby (without being covered up) while I’m trying to eat — that’s too bad? It has been decreed we have no right to expect common courtesy in that area of co-existence, because someone thinks it is cool for mom’s to nurse and us to be forced to watch, while nasty for people to smoke where we can simply “see” them doing so. Yeah, seeing that smoke through a window gives us lots of health issues to be concerned about.
There are smoking bans to save the world, even from fake cigarettes. What a joke. Save the world? How about control the world? That’s more like it. And here is Chicago right up in the front of the line.
Nanny this and Nanny that! It’s a situation that will eventually come home to visit us all in ways that some might not suppose as being a possibility. Time to wake up. Time to regain our common sense. Chicago is a good start.

Faceless Hospital Board Relents: Jahi McMath Can Continue Her Fight for Life
Ominous case is only the latest example of government and hospital boards taking private medical decisions away from families
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6, 2014 / – The parents of Jahi McMath won a key victory in the right to care for their daughter, Jahi McMath. Jahi entered Children’s Hospital in Oakland in early December to have her tonsils removed, and after complications from that surgery, was quickly declared “brain dead” by the hospital only a short time later, despite what her family was reporting as signs of responsiveness. Since that time, Jahi’s parents have waged a protracted legal fight with the hospital to force them to provide even the most basic care for their daughter.
Over the weekend, the hospital finally released Jahi to her parents, who have transferred her to a facility while they wait and watch for signs of improvement in her condition.
“This is a temporary victory in the ongoing fight to protect the right of parents and families to make private medical decisions for their loved ones,” said Bobby Schindler, Executive Director of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, and brother of the late Terri Schiavo.
“Sadly, these cases are becoming more common in our current medical environment, where government bureaucrats and faceless hospital boards, in the form of ethics committees, strip away the rights of parents and families to make their own decisions regarding medical treatment.”
Once Jahi arrives safely at her new destination, her condition will be assessed in greater detail, and medical specialists will begin taking steps to hopefully improve her condition.
“Jahi’s fight has only just begun,” said Schindler. “And there are many other families across the country who face similar battles. That’s why it’s so important that people fight back when an ethics committee tries to take away their medical rights. Given our current medical environment, with more and more emphasis on government, we all have reason to worry.”
The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit group dedicated to helping the medically vulnerable who are facing life-threatening situations. For more information, visit: lifeandhope.com

Remembering the Kids on the First Day of 2014
It’s a New Year! A new beginning! It’s also a time to reflect on the kids that need us to remember their plight and to fight in their behalf when the system forgets the human components called faith, hope and a sprinkle or two of compassion!
On a bright and positive note…
Connecticut Children’s Medical Center encourages it’s kids to be fighters! It encourages them not to give up in spite of the odds. Look at the spirit of these special children…
Then we have the opposite situation in California.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The family of a 13-year-old California girl declared brain dead after tonsil surgery is encountering difficulty in obtaining two surgeries that she needs to undergo before she can be safely transferred to a long-term care facility.
So why are they unwilling? Why do they care? Is there some reason they are afraid to let someone prepare Jahi to be moved?
Connecticut Children’s Medical Center or Children’s Hospital Oakland? — Which hospital staff would you want caring for your child?
Jahi McMath Supporters Pressing for Release from Children’s Hospital Oakland
Supporters of Jahi McMath continue to work for her transfer out of Children’s Hospital Oakland. The 13-year old patient who suffered massive complications after a surgery that led to a “brain death diagnosis” continues to show signs of life.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., December 31, 2013 / — Under the direction of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, numerous organizations and individuals have been working on behalf of Jahi McMath and her family in relative silence for the sake of the sensitivity of her case.
At this point, Terri’s Network, Life Legal Defense, Angela Clemente & Associates, The Wrongful Death & Injury Institute, New Beginnings and others defending Jahi’s life, see that it is now appropriate to step forth publicly and represent the many supporters who have been working tirelessly to obtain Jahi’s release from Children’s Hospital Oakland and transfer her to a safe place.
Jahi McMath has been labeled a “deceased” person. Yet she retains all the functional attributes of a living person, despite her brain injury. This includes a beating heart, circulation and respiration, the ability to metabolize nutrition and more. Jahi is a living human being.
Together with our team of experts, Terri’s Network believes Jahi’s case is representative of a very deep problem within the US healthcare system – particularly those issues surrounding the deaths of patients within the confines of hospital corporations, which have a vested financial interest in discontinuing life.
“Families and individuals must make themselves aware of what so-called ‘brain death’ is and what it is not,” said Bobby Schindler, executive director with Terri’s Network. “Additionally, families and individuals must educate themselves regarding their rights as patients, the advance documentation that must be completed prior to any medical procedure as well as how to ensure best any patient’s rights.
“Every person needs to understand that medical accidents happen every day. Families and individuals must be more aware of the issue of accountability and patient rights.”
We continue to work toward Jahi’s transfer.

BREAKING NEWS!!!! RE: JAHI MCMATH
Judge extends life support for Jahi McMath until Jan. 7
The family of the 13-year-old Oakland, Calif. girl who was declared brain-dead after a tonsillectomy was desperately trying to move her to a New York facility until a judge extended her life support at the Children’s Hospital in Oakland Monday.
A judge reportedly extended life support for a brain-dead 13-year-old girl in Oakland who is battling for her life until 5 p.m. on Jan. 7.
The family of Jahi McMath was frantically trying to work with a New York hospital to transfer the girl — who underwent a routine tonsillectomy at the Children’s Hospital of Oakland on Dec. 9 to treat sleep apnea — who suffered complications from the surgery, which caused her to bleed heavily and go into cardiac arrest.
The family’s attorney Chris Dolan said he is waiting to hear from the facility, which he did not identify because he did not want media attention to influence its decision.

The Right Thing to Do!… The Right Thing to Do!… The Right Thing to Do!
I am so sick of hearing, “It’s the right thing to do!”… that I could spit nails and talk to the wall! The only problem is I’d have to wait in line, because the wall’s pretty packed right now with wall-talkers.
Where do these people get the idea that all their ideas are so ideal and you are just a bad person for not going along? You would if you were a good person, you know, because it’s the right thing to do. Nooooo! No, it’s not always the right thing to do. Sometimes it would be the biggest and dumbest thing in the world to do. Sometimes it is simply dumb, but that’s good enough for not wanting to do it.
Women need YOU to pay for their birth control pills because that is the right thing to do. How’s that? Women can get birth control for little or nothing at Planned Parenthood, so somebody else is already paying for them. It’s probably YOU, but at least you don’t know it or remember that tax dollar going into PP’s greedy little pockets. But if a woman can’t get some free pills, she can’t wait for sex, until she does?
Sex. Sex. Sex.
Sex on television. Sex in commercials. Sex down the street and up the street and even in the park. And we aren’t even in Pleasureville where their hair is all blown back to announce to the world what they have been up to. Geez has any of the desperate for sex crowd ever heard about reading a book every now and then?
Don’t get me wrong…
Sex can be a good thing. It brings new life. You know, those adorable little bundles with the tiny little features and those little cries that wake us throughout the night… and the day… and whenever we just get to sleep. But for sex to be the center of the universe and attached to all things at all times… well… that’s a little… a little… shall we say — sick?
Sex isn’t everything. It’s simply a small part of the big picture. It isn’t meant to be people’s purpose in life, though I’ve met a few people who would differ with me on that thought. Nevertheless, if someone is going into actual withdrawals, because he or she has to wait a few days to get a refill on the birth control pills because YOU didn’t pay for them to be had from somewhere other than the free or low cost place — that someone ought to be asking self what’s up with that. How do they figure you are responsible for making their sex possible? Oh, I know… ’cause… It’s the right thing to do.”
The right thing to do is to get back to thinking normal. Normal meaning realization that there is a world out there that doesn’t center around each of us, immediate gratification is not an entitlement, nor are we entitled to avoid the consequences for our actions and lying is not supposed to be in a politician’s job description.
Me… me… me… is way out of style, but some elites seem to be clinging to the old attitude and trying to groom the younger generations to support and be apart of their whiny little, “You must do what I want because… It’s the right thing to do.”
I want. I want. I want.
Me. Me. Me.
Give me. Give me. Give me.
Tantrum. Tantrum. Tantrum.
Stomp a foot. Stomp a foot. Stomp another foot.
Lie. Lie. Lie.
I get. I get. I get.
You pay. You pay. You pay.
Know why?… this person might ask? “Because it’s the right thing to do.” And this person will probably be thinking on in that crazy little way of thinking, “… and I want my way at all costs because what I want is all that matters. And because it is all that matters — It’s the right thing to do!”
Oh, I hate that saying. Is there a space for me at the wall yet?

The Dictators of Non-Compassion: Gary Harvey Case and the Unexpected Twist
Sara & Gary Harvey
How long has it been since Gary Harvey fell down those basement stairs? Some days it seems as though it was only yesterday, but it wasn’t. It was January 21, 2006. It has been nearly seven years and little has changed, since the county took over and began their reign of merciless dictatorship.
Oh, Gary & Sara Harvey have gotten seven years older and he is no longer in the nursing home, but a ward connected to St. Joseph Hospital. Only his location has changed, as the desperate and uncalled for battle goes on with the power hungry feeding upon, demeaning, and controlling this husband and wife.
On December 10, 2010, I wrote:
Amazing! I can actually recycle my article as if it was current and remaining accurate. How often does that happen?
Here it is the holiday season of 2010 and Sara Harvey gets a letter from Bryan Maggs, Chemung County Attorney, stating that her visitations with Gary are suspended immediately. Isn’t that the same gift they offered last year? I’m so impressed with the repeat gift and the timing – NOT! ( Wife’s Visitation in Jeopardy: The Recycling of Gary Harvey’s Holiday Restrictions)
Would anyone be surprised to learn that Sara didn’t get to visit Gary on Christmas Day 2012?
It isn’t often that one can continue to recycle articles and pretty much be assured that there is going to be some excuse… some mistake… some problem raising it’s ugly little head and taking away anything that could be considered special for Gary and Sara, especially during this special holiday season. It isn’t often, unless the articles happen to involve Gary and Sara Harvey, Chemung County and St. Joseph Hospital.
Anyone see a pattern?

Wife’s Visitation in Jeopardy: The Recycling of Gary Harvey’s Holiday Restrictions
By Carrie K. Hutchens on December 10th, 2010
Last year, I wrote the following article.
Sara & Gary Harvey
By Carrie K. Hutchens on November 7th, 2009
Gary Harvey is the brain injured man from New York, who seems to have his own private “death panel” determined to kill him off and to make his and his wife’s life as miserable as possible, until the sentence is carried out. One might think it could get no worse than it has been. One should never think such thoughts, lest one (or more) be shown that — for however bad — things can actually get worse!
Though it wasn’t Sara sitting on the so-called ethics committee that determined Gary should be starved and dehydrated to death — the Guardian and County (who actually were involved in the attempted death of an innocent person) — have suggested she is a danger to her husband.
Huh? Did I miss something there?
Hasn’t a DNR been placed on Gary? If something does go wrong — that’s it, isn’t it? Those in charge have made it clear they have no intention of lifting a finger to save his life, but yet, it is Gary’s wife, Sara, that is considered the danger to him?
The Twilight Zone has competition!
Let’s see…
It is the Guardian, County, and So-Called Ethics Committee that decided Gary should die, but Sara needs to be supervised when visiting him? So, what do they think she is going to do to Gary that they need to protect him from?
Certainly can’t be death!
Certainly can’t be torturing him to death by starvation and dehydration!
So just what are the supervised visits suppose to be accomplishing? What protection are they allegedly providing? What are they supposedly preventing?
I’m with you — I don’t know either!
I did get word though, that the bills for these questionable supervised visits are being charged to Gary and he is either out of money or running out of money to pay for them. What does this mean? No more visits with his wife? And this is in Gary’s best interest how?
I don’t know who these people are that think they are looking out for Gary Harvey’s best interests, but I certainly wouldn’t want them in charge of looking out for my best interests under any circumstances.
Isolation is a form of torture. It causes failure to thrive. So now, when those in control of Gary didn’t get him starved and dehydrated to death, and have not been able to implement the DNR — they are going to deny him his wife’s visits? Who are they trying to punish? Gary for being disabled or Sara for fighting to bring her husband home?
One can only wonder!
Amazing! I can actually recycle my article as if it was current and remaining accurate. How often does that happen?
Here it is the holiday season of 2010 and Sara Harvey gets a letter from Bryan Maggs, Chemung County Attorney, stating that her visitations with Gary are suspended immediately. Isn’t that the same gift they offered last year? I’m so impressed with the repeat gift and the timing — NOT!
Shame on these people!
If there was a problem, beyond Sara filing various motions with the court, where are the records of the official meetings where the hospital, county, guardian and all the heavy-weight personnel discussed any issues that might bring her to no visitation at Christmas time once again?
The court system is a strategy thing. Attorneys do this and attorneys do that… and it is all a major game. But Sara is not allowed to play back, even when the county and guardian and hospital feel free to do whatever and force her into a courtroom to challenge their inappropriate behavior?
If Gary were at home, and someone reported that his care was inappropriate, Sara would have to answer this challenge. Why would the county, guardian and hospital think they should be beyond the same challenge? It is, after all, allegedly their actual job to be an “expert provider” and to provide excellent care in all ways.
If Gary were at home and Sara was starving & dehydrating him to death, the authorities would pull him from the home, put him in “protective custody” and most likely charge her with all kinds of things, including attempted murder. Why haven’t the county and guardian and hospital been likewise challenged and charged? Why hasn’t the court pulled them back in to answer why they tried to kill off someone not terminally ill?
If Gary was home with Sara, she could be challenged for this and for that and for anything someone wished to challenge her with, but she wouldn’t be able to simply write a letter and terminate visitation by all these people that thought she was not providing well. Why then, can all these people so simply terminate her visits with Gary when they have been challenged?
It’s wrong!
It would be wrong no matter what, but it is really wrong that these people decide to terminate visitation during the holiday season. It says a great deal about them. It proves, by their actions, that compassion is not something in their list of priorities, yet they claim to have Gary’s best interest in mind?
How often can one recycle an article?
How often can one recycle an article where all one has to do is change the date?
It should make it quite apparent that something is totally wrong in the Harvey case, for one, and the system needs to get things right, rather than allow all this craziness and bullying to wrong the victim and the family that strives to fight to get it all back right.
It should.
Will It?
I don’t know, but is the holiday season a time to take away the moments a wife and husband have together, especially when holidays together are possibly limited by health issues?
I don’t know, but what can Sara Harvey possibly do to Gary Harvey that warrants supervised visits – that outweighs the county’s attempt to kill him off?
Nevertheless, here it is the holidays again… and Sara’s visits with Gary have been terminated once again!
Merry Christmas!
This article was originally published at Dakota Voice. It can once again be recycled — holiday visits are off! This year the doctor said either Sara goes or he goes! Supposedly the guardians and attorneys can’t find a new doctor to replace him, so they booted Sara from visiting her own husband! Welcome to the New World of cruelty & the power of government!

A Reason for the Season
by Ron Panzer
December 20, 2013
You may have had a father
whose message was,
“You’re worthless! You’re a mistake!”
You may have had a mother
who left without even saying goodbye.
You may have brothers and sisters
who don’t even know you,
Or friends who are gone overnight.
You may have enemies
who attack with a virulence that is shocking,
simply because you speak the truth —
simply because you are.
You may feel that life has broken you,
that you are all alone.
Others may not know your sufferings and ailments,
while making sure you know about theirs.
You may wonder how it is possible that the sacred
is turned into a crass pitch for something to be sold.
This is the culture of death that mocks all that is good,
and tells you, “Create your own reality!”
while it pushes you onto a foundation that falls away on the very first step.
They’re ready to cheer you one moment,
and then spit on you the next.
It can be no other way, friend,
for those who He chooses cannot have any other path,
This is His path, His Way.
He was born, but more than being born, He lives still!
and asks to live within our hearts today.
He asks us to forgive and live our lives,
in His wondrous sacrificial love.
This is the reason for the season,
not some catchy tune urging us to buy, buy, buy
while they sell, sell, sell.
He is with us always. He is with you!
… ready to comfort, because He truly understands.
He cares and calls to you.
He names you priceless, not a mistake.
This is the reason we celebrate Christmas Day —
the birth of the Saviour, the birth of a Way that leads to Life.
He will never leave you or forsake you.
He is worthy and faithful.
His love is unchangeable!
Come, let us serve Him,
in those He chooses to send.
Come, let us praise and adore Him,
today, and ever more.

A Chance for Jahi McMath
Family wants to keep life support for girl brain dead after tonsil surgery
CNN Video
Carrie’s Take is:
Do we really know this young girl is brain dead?
Who says so?
The ones that were caring for her when the medical crisis occurred?
Doesn’t one report say there is swelling of the brain?
Why not wait and see what happens after the swelling goes down?
What’s the rush?
This is a child.. a beautiful child… after all!!!
If there is an error to be made…
Error on the side of life!
Give this child & her family a chance to be right!
After all…
What if they are?
Voiding the Land of the Void
Once upon a time, in the Land of Void, there were men and women, who wished to serve their country with honor and integrity. These few, among so many others, had this vision of a life with liberty and freedom and a true chance at the American Dream as once had been before PC became the rule of the land and tolerance a requirement, rather than something freely given. It was, oh such a glorious vision to behold.
Sadly, these men and women found a reaction opposite of what should be. They often found their opponents to be vicious and cruel. Truth was treated as the evil. Facts were merely something to toy with and twist into whatever message fit the moment and the audience at hand. Money flowed freely to those reverbers of deceit and used to drown out any message that revealed the dishonesty of their words and plot to take over and control all not considered of the self-appointed elite.
It was a time of fear and distrust. A time of proclaimed victimhood and loss of self and reason. A time when dividing was the intent, though the words were said oh so differently in charade. A time when slavery was considered the reward, by those who did not grasp that is what they were walking into under the guise of a gift… a gift of “alleged free” government support with all the free that really isn’t free.
Oh yes… it was a time in the Land of Void, where principles were considered vices and disagreement claimed to be intolerance. A time where liberty was shoved away as a skeleton in our closet. It was a time called now. It is a time that many thought would never be. Yet, here stand our men and women of integrity being treated as the evil and the evil as the good.
How long shall we stand in the void of deceit and sink into its vile embrace? How long before we see and hear and return to the land of liberty and a hope of tomorrow? How long before we free ourselves from the suffocating grasp of a deceit well-planned? How long before the Land of Void is voided and we return to all that we were meant to be — a land of the free and the brave — a land of true hope & dreams of a better tomorrow! A land called the United States of America!
