Washington and Raiford were staying with Washington's sister in Baton Rouge. Raiford, who is diabetic, went to a Walgreens in search of insulin. "I left my insulin," she said. She didn't have the $30 to pay for it, though, so she left empty-handed. The pharmacist told her she needed a doctor in order to get it for free. A doctor's visit, she said, seemed as impossible as returning to New Orleans.

That's criminal. If she dies without insulin, I hope they put that pharmacist away for life. She has maybe 3-4 days to survive without it. And death from DKA ain't pretty or fun.

how do we know any of these stories are true? Journalists constantly invent man on the street stories to color their articles as needed.
