I find this account hard to believe.

[brytlea]

Ditto.

me, too. Reads "bogus" on my antennae.

[kenth]

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

[EggsAckley]

Yes, I too find this hard to swallow. Sensationalism.

[pa mom]

My thoughts too. I hope we are right.

[Maigret]

The Daily Mail? That rag? I wouldn't believe anything they printed.

[don-o]

find this account hard to believe.

I find it very plausible. What do you think happened to patients who had to be moved? Or those who could not be moved with addicts attacking and looking for a fix?

What exactly, is hard to believe? Have you been paying attention?

particularly since they use a guy in Abita Springs as a source for what happened in New Orleans. I googled this guy...according to a BBC story I gooogled, he has a British wife. Presumably that's how he came to be quoted in a British tabloid. I surmise that they just called whoever they could get a phone # for, and he was one of them. According to the BBC story, he had been clearing downed trees in Abita Springs ever since the hurricane. Evidently that makes him an authority about emergency medical services in New Orleans.

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

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.

[Torie]

I don't. I would have done the same thing.

[TheGeezer]

Euthanasia is illegal in Louisiana, and The Mail on Sunday is protecting the identities of the medical staff concerned to prevent them being made scapegoats for the events of last week.

Uncorroborated Brit crap-scandal.

Their families believe their confessions are an indictment of the appalling failure of American authorities to help those in desperate need after Hurricane Katrina flooded the city, claiming thousands of lives and making 500,000 homeless.

Uncorroborated Brit anti-Bush crap scandal. You know also, of course, that prominent anti-American black activist Randall Robinson wrote that black people in NOLA were eating their own dead?

[Junior]

Why? Military doctors have been doing this kind of thing for the last couple of centuries.
