CLEARWATER - Michael Schiavo has asked a court to waive the two-year statute of limitations on filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against one or more of his deceased wife's caregivers.
Terri Schiavo, 41, died March 31 after her feeding tube was removed after a seven-year court battle.

Schiavo's attorney in this case, Mark Perenich, said he was not able to discuss the proposed lawsuit behind Tuesday's request for an extension of the two-year statute of limitations.

By law, medical malpractice lawsuits must be filed within two years of the alleged misconduct unless an extension is granted.

In October 2003, Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed on court order. Doctors reinserted it on orders from Gov. Jeb Bush.

5. I think he might be trying to sue the "nurses"...

..who mis-represented Terri's condition to the conservative media.

7. Now, THAT would be appropriate!

Those asses need to be sued - they slandered him big time, and should not be able to get away with it.

[sui generis]

10. appropriate only with statute of limitations

he doesn't get any special bending of the rules.

[sui generis]

9. still, waiving SOL for civil cases not involving murder or

federal remuneration is really cuckoobananas - plus, it would mean that eventually you would never be able to claim a tax loss since you could potentially attempt to recover it forever.

He needs to move on - don't screw with SOL and precedent over the dead schiavo.

NO more Schivo ever. Just say no. For the love of God, just say NO!

6. I'm confused by this

He already won a medical malpractice suit. Who could he be going after now?

8. Maybe he's going to sue Bill Frist
