Then you dispute Dr. Pou’s statements. She does not claim accident. She claims that it was justified because her subjective intent (she now claims) was to alleviate suffering. Of course, death would have that effect.

Nonsense. She was trying to treat patients under conditions of hysteria and panic--the patient's panic, the panic of the technical personnel suddenly deprived of their high-tech tools, and probably her own panic.

But I'm willing to say, upfront, that while I was watching the horrible events unfolding with the flood and mayhem in New Orleans, I am absolutely willing to give a doctor who stayed behind, did not abandon the patients, the benefit of a very large doubt!!

Someone with a bitter resentment of physicians, say, a malpractice lawyer...may have an innate unwillingness to profer such a benefit.
