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!
Considering that Mallard admitted today she was stoned while at most of her jobs, I'd like to know the answer to that as well.
