Congratulations on raising a wonderful daughter, she's an asset to our society, most likely thanks to her parents.

This reminds me also of when my son hit a dog. He was about 20 yrs old. He stopped and put the dog in his truck,(it bled all over)and drove it and the owners to the vet. The dog died, and later the owners sent him a card telling him thank you for making a horrible situation more bearable.

He called me and was very upset that he hit the dog.

And this woman left a man in her windshield.

It's almost unbelieveable, isn't it. I stopped to help a lady one time who had struck and killed a Beagle that was running loose on Highway 41 in Atlanta. She had pulled over and flagged me down - she was completely hysterical. About five minutes after I stopped, here came the owner of the dog who had been out looking for him. She was hysterical too. We all had a good cry, then I helped them wrap the dog up in a blanket and put him in the owner's trunk (there was no question of a vet) and followed her home to make sure she was o.k.

There we were all doing everything we could to help the poor lady whose dog was already dead - - and here this evil woman drives home with a human being, still alive, actually stuck in her windshield.

It seems to me that she either lacks a heart and a soul, or lost them somewhere along the way.

God bless all the selfless:

A friend of mine was driving across the US to join his fiance for their wedding. Halfway along his trip, he noticed a bad accident and exited his car to help.

Unfortunately, in the dark and rain, he was struck and killed by a truck trying to reach an accident victim.

Incidentally, this same guy still ocassionally suffered the effects of the torture he experienced in an Iranian prison more than 20 years prior. His imprisonment was due to his religious beliefs.

What an angel!

I know how he felt. Years ago, while driving in heavy fog in Golden Gate Park, a pack of raccoons showed up in my headlights, slowly walking across the road from right to left. I swerved to the left to avoid them, and darn the luck, they all darted in the same direction, putting them right in the path of my front bumper.

The thud was surprisingly loud from the largest of the raccoons, and knowing that I couldn't do anything like give it CPR, I kept on driving. Through no fault of my own, I had taken a life. Not a human life, but the life of an innocent creature that wasn't being a pest or endangering me. My heart started beating double-time, and I just started crying. It was an awful feeling.

Since that night, I vowed to be a safer driver. I didn't want to have to live with killing a human being with my car on my conscience, ever.

That's what drives me nuts about this case: hitting someone is bad enough, but Mallard -- putting the BEST face on this case -- was ready to live her life with letting Biggs die a slow, agonizing death as if he never existed.

Even worse is this: SHE WAS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD! HOW COULD SOMEONE WHO HAS SUCH DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE BE IN CHARGE OF PEOPLE'S HEALTH?!!

Virginia Kelley may have been an incompetent anesthesiologist, but at least she didn't let patients die ON PURPOSE!
