Hubris of the Death-Gods

George Felos' ex-wife has involved herself in the Schiavo-Schindler situation, offering to review and analyze findings from the autopsy report.

What are her qualifications for doing such a thing, you might ask?

Well, she's a lawyer (pronounced lie-uhr, in Tennessee), and a licensed massage therapist.

Dunedin, Fla., attorney Constance d'Angelis was married to Felos, who represented Terri's husband Michael Schiavo.

When Terri Schiavo's condition was argued in court, d'Angelis presented a CT Scan and other medical records to assert Terri was in a "persistent vegetative state."

Now, d'Angelis claims she will be available to interpret the anticipated medical examiner's report.

According to a statement, "Upon the release of the autopsy report, [d'Angelis] can analyze the results and weigh in on the important matters of how -- by reason, not emotion -- the 'persistent vegetative state' diagnosis of Terri Schiavo was arrived at, and why."

Can you believe her audacity? That kind of gall would embitter a bottle of vinegar. Highly trained medical doctors--including neurologists--varied widely on Ms. Schiavo's condition; but we're supposed to lend credence to the views of a lawyer?

If you take this idjit seriously, you just might be in a persistent vegetative state.
