In 1990, Terri Schiavo collapsed when a potassium imbalance caused her heart to stop beating. The lack of oxygen led to severe brain damage. George Felos, the attorney for Michael Schiavo said initially, the Schindlers and Schiavo agreed on her care and both hoped she could be rehabilitated. In 1993, the Schiavos were awarded more than $1 million in medical malpractice claims against the doctors who failed to diagnose her chemical imbalance. Michael Schiavo told a jury he intended to take care of his wife for the rest of her life.
