Breaking News: Fired Nurse Claims Terri Feels Pain

http://www.cnsnews.com//ThisHour.asp#Breaking%20News:%20Fired%20Nurse%20Claims%20Terri%20Feels%20Pain

(CNSNews.com) - A nurse, who worked until Monday at the hospice where Terri Schiavo is dying of dehydration and starvation under court order, claims Terri feels pain and the nursing staff medicates her for that pain. Nora Wagner also claims she was fired Monday after expressing support for keeping Terri alive. Wagner has been a nurse for 30 years and spent the last two years as a contract employee of an agency that provides nurses to the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla., where Terri has been kept since April of 2000. She told a Florida television station that Terri's feeding tube should not have been removed. "She's not physically ill, other than being brain damaged," Wagner told WPTF reporter Sarina Fazan.

" ........ but Wagner described the circumstances under which Woodside Hospice personnel would give Terri pain medication."

"While that meant Wagner would not be working at Woodside Hospice, it didn't mean she was out of a job, at least not yet. Wagner claimed her agency supervisor then told her, "And, if you go to the media, you know, you're fired."

Wagner's response was, "Consider me fired."

This is silly.

Of course she feels pain.

The human autonomic reflex system is hard wired into the brain stem. The routing of the pain message then goes to --- non-existent parts of her brain.

But the trigger and the reflex is real. What part of being an animal do we need to review? Just because we "react" doesn't make us human. Being born of woman makes us human.
