State: Governor sides with nurse in trouble for Schiavo remarks
In her affidavit, Sauer-Iyer, who worked for Palm Garden of Largo as a licensed practical nurse while Schiavo was there, claimed Schiavo said “Mommy” and “Help me,” told nurses she was in pain and chuckled when Sauer-Iyer told her humorous stories.
Jeb! made a statement that clearly attempts to influence the outcome of an administrative hearing regarding the nurse’s public discussion of Schiavo’s medical condition. I find it interesting that he still finds it necessary to defend the woman. There’s no way Schiavo could have recovered, made purposeful sounds, laughed or expressed pain. The autopsy report is crystal clear, Terri wasn’t home anymore. This nurse should get a pass for breaking patient privacy rules because she was a well-intentioned zealot? I don’t think so.
