Let's see. Raped little girls, bodies in excrement, cannibalism. Now this.
It MUST be true, I read about it in the media! /sarcasm
To: Kord
If this was true the media would have jumped all over it by now Welcome to FR. Lurk a while to get a take on the real world. Or, do we need to get into ZOT standby mode, here?

I find it hard to believe also. Sounds to me like more things to blame Bush for.

Do tell me Don if you think for a nanosecond that a healthcare professional would even tell this story. I know I would not. I saw what kind of conditions they were working under. This is done every single day in our hospitals for patients that are terminal but it is not something that would be discussed with a tabloid paper.

Watch it folks! This is the Daily Mail. They never look for proof of anything. They just print rumor, slander, innuendo.Right. The Daily Mail is only a little more reliable than our own National Inquirer. In fact I wouldn't even give it that much credibility, this article may well be nothing more than pure fiction.
Or if not and there is some truth to the story, you can be sure that whatever vestige of fact it may contain has been generously sensationalized to make the rag more salable.

I used to think that we should rebuild the SuperDome. After reading this story, I don't think that building should be left standing.
Aside from the poster's added words, what does this article have to do with the Superdome? These events took place in NO's hospitals, the article indicates.
And that noise you just heard? That was American's malpractice lawyers intake of greed as they just realized how many wrongful death lawsuits they're going to be filing.

What was a Utility manager from the town of Abita Springs, LA which is on the north side of Lake Ponchartrain doing in NO at a hospital during the Hurricane?... Why wasn't he taking care of his town and their inhabitants and the utility system he was in charge of?...
It's for damn sure he didn't get into NO via the I-10 section that crosses Lake Pontchartrain... It no longer exist in some sections.

Even if there is no source, can you doubt that it happened; and it now get sensationalized, for no reason, except to sell papers.
Simply another example of the low level of discourse that "informs".

"A double shot of morphine is not unheard of, even outside of disasters, Usually, it is not considered newsworthy. But, it happens to ease suffering."
Is that all it takes to kill? A double dose or more?
I CAN believe this happened - THOUGH I hope it didn't, but I can believe it IF it did.
This IS how they DO IT in hospices I think, morphine overdose is how they do it all the time at these mercy death units, to speed the "process", just not talked about a lot so the relatives don't get freaked out (rightfully so!)
When someone's terminal they usually are aware that the more they take the quicker they'll go and they have self-administering pumps, they can put as much of the stuff inside them as they want -- I think - to speed the process? Just not talked about much because still "taboo" and stigmatized?
All said, I'm VERY ANTI - EUTHANSIA.

First, I doubt the verasity of this article. Secondly, any medical personal that "put down patients" should be charged with murder.

It is conjecture and it is salacious on the mails behalf.

You edited the title to include Superdome?.....
WHY?...... there is no mention and no indication that the Superdome was involved in this story?...

I find this account hard to believe. I, too, find it hard to believe. I can't imagine it's true for most of the doctors. I hope it's not true. If it is true, I hope it is just the desperate actions, not of a 'savior' doctor, but of a euthanasia wannabe, a Dr. Kevorkian type exposing himself and looking for public affirmation. Either way, I hope some effort is made to get to the bottom of the story, true or false.
I kind of want to call shens on this story.
I read, on another forum, that the UK press was also running a story of accusations made by British by-standers who are swearing that there were rescue authorities who demanded that women lifted their shirts to expose their breasts or they would be left behind.
I give this story as much credence as I gave that one.
total shens.
To: kenth
This doesn't quite pass the smell test. What corroboration is there?
