“Oh, come on now. I have repeatedly said that the 8 mg dose was not the one in question.”

FRiend, mostly what you said every time I mentioned the 8mg dose was that Pou murdered those people. You do not answer questions, you simply plug away at your points. I’ve asked you direct questions like “what link are you using to get to the information you’re basing your statements on” and you are not answering at all. Just more of the same. I am asking you, one last time, to cite your sources. You don’t want to do that, fine. Put me on ignore from now on. Unless you do post those links, that is exactly what I’m going to be doing for you.

I'm not ignoring you. I do not know how to do links. I know, that's hard to believe in this day and age, but it's a fact. I can tell you where I found stuff and I can cut and paste (if the document allows that, the experts reports & other docs posted on CNN's website can't be copied).

To do my Monk impersonation: Here's the thing.

One of the patients in question had (at least) 2 adult children: 1)a son who is a lawyer, and 2) a daughter who is a nurse and stayed with her mother until she was required to leave. The son got his mother's medical chart and saw that she had been given a dose of morphine for 8 mg that was in excess of what she had been receiving. He says that he thinks that this caused her death.

Maybe yes, maybe no. BUT that dose is most definitely not what this case is about. All of the doses in question never appear in ANY of these patients' medical charts -- not as a physician's order, not in the nurses notes, and not in the MAR (probably the most sacrosanct portion of a medical record).

You really need to read the executive summary from the Atty. Gen. found on the CNN website. It tells about Dr. Pou signing 3 prescriptions for morphine for 3 patients who on autopsy had no or minimal amounts of morphine in them. My take is that they were all dead when Dr. Pou wrote the prescriptions in their names.

Each prescription was for 9 vials of morphine each, for a total of 27 vials. I don't know how much morphine is in a vial, but I suspect that it is a lot.

None of this information is in any medical chart, but come from the permanent pharmacy records. Why the pharmacist dispensed the narcotics, I'll never know.

This is consistent with multiple witness statements about Dr. Pou going from room to room with multiple vials in her hand and her statements to many persons that the decision had been made to give these patients lethal injections.
