I am certain that under deplorable conditions the doctors did everything they could to save as many lives as possible and to ameliorate suffering. I’d not judge them until I walked in their shoes, and I expect the prosecution and gj thought so, too.

I’ve never been in the position of a guard at Auschwich but that doesn't lead me to excuse their behavior. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

The medical center had opportunities AND OFFERS to evacuate their patients to safe havens before the hurricane hit. If the patients had been evacuated and the hurricane had not hit, it would have cut into their profits. This is the same reason Nagin waited so long to give the order to evacuate.

The medical center (owned by Tenet) could have evacuated all of their patients AFTER the storm hit, but instead chose to rely of “free” help from the government. HCA (NOT my favorite hospital) made their own arrangements, and with no reported problems.

You’re right. I think they should have let the patients drown.
