I understand that the Terri Schiavo-Schindler Foundation estimated that in early 2002 less than $300,000 remained in Terri's medical trust fund account. At that time there were $290,000 in outstanding bills. That was over a year and a half ago. That tells you that there was little left in the fund. In fact, its probably fully depleted.

Mr. Schiavo had originally asked for $20 million in malpractice damages. The jury awarded about 1.3 million. That was in 1992. After attorney's fees and outstanding medical bills, her trust fund account was left with around $800,000. The cost of hospice care averages about $200 per day and that doesn't include exceptional medical costs that might be required. That's about $730,000 for ten years. Its been twelve years. Do the math.
