Reply #19: I hope that nurse [View All]

can find some peace. She did nothing wrong. She tried to help per patients, it sounds like to me. As I have said before, for the patients, and the medical professionals to be placed in this situation, for the ones who try so hard to save lives, and to ease pain and suffering, for them to now be facing possible charges based on the choices they were faced with, is intolerable.

The government COULD have evacuated the hospitals, if they had wanted to. Bush was so determined to have his umpteenth vacation, he couldn't be bothered with the suffering of mere peasants. The rest of his administration, especially "heck of a fine job, Brownie", were nothing more than political hacks, put in positions of responsibility as favors.

One other point I'd like to make is this:coping with the aftermath of the hurricane was hard on everybody, but can you imagine coping with your own physical discomfort, the heat, the lack of sanitation, of food, of water, in ADDITION to caring for many other people, some very fragile, must have been hell for the doctors and nurses. Now, some are going to want to judge them for possibly bringing death sooner, if that was the only way they could ease their patient's suffering. Dying in agony is not something anybody wants to do. The medical professionals did a heroic job, and should not be punished for the government's failures.
