I flat do not believe this

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.

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.

"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.
