Fun stuff from Michael Schiavo's 1993 testimony: he had Terri's cats put to sleep, then didn't want the doctors to treat her urinary infection.

Q What did you do with your wife's jewelry?
12 A My wife's jewelry?
13 Q Yeah.
14 A Um, I think I took her engagement ring and her --
15 what do they call it -- diamond wedding band and made a
16 ring for myself.
17 Q Okay. Anything else? Did you make any other
18 jewelry for yourself?
19 A No, just that.
20 Q What did you do with her cats?
21 A Her cats were put to sleep on the advice of my
22 mother-in-law.
1 A I put a -- after speaking with my doctor, I gave
2 an order not to treat a bladder infection Terry had.
3 Q Who was the doctor you spoke with?
4 A Mulroy.
5 Q And Mulroy is your doctor or Terry's doctor?
6 A Terry's doctor.
7 Q Tell me about the conversation you had with
8 Mulroy.
9 A I talked to him about what he felt Terry's future
10 was. And he told me that Terry is basically going to be
11 like this for the rest of her life and I was trying to
12 make decisions on what Terry would want.
13 Q What was her bladder condition?
14 A She had UTI.
15 Q Excuse me?
16 A She had a UTI.
17 Q What is that?
18 A Urinary tract infection.
19 Q What -- did the doctor tell you what the
20 treatment for that would be?
21 A Antibiotic usually.
22 Q And did he tell you what would occur if you
23 failed to treat that infection.
24 A Yes.
25 Q What did he tell you?
___
15
1 A That sometimes urinary tract infections will turn
2 to sepsis.
3 Q And sepsis is what?
4 A And infection throughout the body.
5 Q And what would the result of untreated sepsis be
6 to the patient?
7 A The patient would pass on.
8 Q So when you made the decision not to treat
9 Terry's bladder infection you, in effect, were taking a
10 decision to allow her to pass on?
