I think the grand jury decided correctly.

The stuff I saw on TV was enough for me to be grateful I was not there to deal with any of it.

To be in the position the medical staff had to face... the system failed them.

In any catastrophic situation there comes a point where civilized people are forced to make unthinkable decisions.

There is no ‘system’ to put in place in a situation like NOLA in Katrina. There is no amount of planning that can be applied to all areas apt to be hit. We don’t have the resources to enact such a ‘system’ which can combat the infinity of possible situations.

I agree, to prosecute a doctor for bad outcomes in extreme situations is moronic. Whatever DA did this should be dismissed as soon as possible.
