My God what a mess.
I used to think that we should rebuild the SuperDome. After reading this story, I don't think that building should be left standing.

They had a plan, and executed the plan effectively, unlike the mayor of NOLA and gov of LA.

Weeeeeeeeeeeelll! Somebody is about to catch hell from "the face of the Katrina survivors," Kenye West. I'll bet these doctors were white Republicans working under orders from President Bush.

I think too many things went on there for it to be considered a place of revelry or happiness ever again.

Careful, let's see if its true first. Something about this just doesn't ring true. I'd like to see it verified elsewhere before I buy it.

I guess you could call it triage if you wanted to forgive them. However, it is against the law. Hopefully those doctors will face a jury.

If the docs had nothing else, how did they have morphine? It may not be true. Hopefully not.

Let's have the name of the doctor and the hospital. I want to send my mom there for sure.

Watch it folks! This is the Daily Mail. They never look for proof of anything. They just print rumor, slander, innuendo.
Personally I think this story is the figment of some coward's imagination that works at the Daily Snail.
To: kenth
This is no different from triage that has gone on on ballefields for years.

Not an outrage. It's called Triage, and it's an accepted form of medical practice in disasters and warfare. When medical capabilities are limited, you restrict access to it to the patients most likely to benefit from it. You don't waste medical resources on patients who are going to die anyway.
When triage deems a patient incapable of survival, the doctors only duty is to ensure that the patients death is as painless as possible. That's exactly what the doctors in this story did, and it's nothing that they should be chided for.
