From what I've heard locally, I think this is more possible than you want to believe.
What is MOST interesting is a conversation that a witness overheard on the ramp of the hospital. The gist of it was that the company managing the floor where these patients were supposedly told the doctors that patients in certain condition were not to be rescued. The doctor was overheard saying this was what was told her on a cellphone- and that she would 'take care of it'.
IF that is the case, those patients were intentionally euthanized.
And if the verdict is guilty, I would administer the same treatment to the doctor and two nurses.
This is VERY emotional for me. I lost my father due to Katrina. I KNOW the conditions( and the attitudes toward the elderly) in the hospitals here before and after the storm.
Yes, I believe those DNR patients were considered 'disposable.' DNR means 'do not resucitate', not 'help die.'

I can't imagine how tough this past year has been for you. Condolences to you and yours.

Gee, it's a shame you weren't available. when all these awful needs arose, without electricity to run the morphine titers, without help, without sanitation,without hope. I marvel that these medical personnel didn't cut and run...like the families of the patients cut and run.
