I flat do not believe this. Name of Doctor, nurses, and hospital please. There would have been no reason to make a "triage" decision when these patients had already been "saved". At that point the only way they could have done so was to just stop treatment and why would they do so when they were waiting on and believed help was on its way. This is typical tabloid reporting by the mail.

Fine. But wrap your brain arond the fact that there were a given number of terminal patients all along the Gulf Coast before the storm hit, Their time to die would have been, inevitably, as the the storm peaked and the dikes broke.

Doctors who were there did what they needed to do. 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.
