I was in that New Orleans Medical Center during the flood as part of a Police force providing security to the medical center that owned it. I saw the bodies there and I wondered if they were killed by the staff. We collected all the pets that people had left inside the hospital, caged them, (it was used as a shelter and pets were left inside)and humped them all up to the roof were helicopters picked them up. In the heat of New Orleans in August, and no electricity, moving those cages up to the roof, then onto the elevated helicopter landing, it was exhausting work. Up there was all the wheel chairs and gurneys from patients. We wondered if the staff euthenized some patients rather than make to many of the hard trips up the stairs and onto the roof.
Another thing, not all the dead were in the beds, some were on the floor in halls, some in the Chapel.

Did any investigators ask you or others in your unit about what you might have seen or heard at that time?

If patients were given an overdose of drugs, presumably an autopsy and toxicological testing would clarify what was given to whom. And a sudden uptick in the number of deaths of the elderly from anything other than drowning should have somebody’s attention.
