Doctor and Nurses Killed Elderly People After Hurricane Katrina.

These people did not ask to be killed and were not even aware they were being killed by the doctor and nurses that were supposed to be caring for them in the mist of a disaster. So these killing doctors are even worse than the psychotic killer named Dr. Jack Kevorkian!

Doctor, Nurses Accused of Giving Patients Deadly Injections After Hurricane Katrina

NEW ORLEANS ? High on the seventh floor of Memorial Medical Center, some of the city’s sickest patients lay in wet, sweaty sheets, drifting in and out of consciousness.

In the hours before the last of the hospital’s patients were evacuated, one of Hurricane Katrina’s most uncomfortable decisions had to be made: What would happen to those too sick to be moved?

According to a monthslong investigation by the state’s attorney general, a doctor and two nurses “pretended that maybe they were God” and put to death four patients using a lethal injection of drugs, after determining that the four were either too ill or too incapacitated to be transported.

The deceased, who ranged in age from 61 to 90 years old, would have survived Katrina had they not been administered the lethal doses, Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti said.

On Tuesday, a doctor and two nurses were booked with being “a principal to second-degree murder” ? a charge that carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Dr. Anna Pou, and nurses Cheri Landry and Lori Budo were charged in part of an ongoing investigation.


Foti, who late last year subpoenaed more than 70 employees of the hospital, warned that there will likely be more arrests and more victims identified.

“This case is not over yet,” he said. “This is not euthanasia. This is homicide.”

The victims did not know they were being killed and experienced pain.


Foti said the combination of the two drugs “guarantees they are going to die,” but he added that authorities could not determine which of the defendants actually administered the fatal drugs in each case.

According to an affidavit filed by an investigator for the state, some of the patients experienced pain. A hospital director witnessed one of the nurses injecting a 90-year-old patient. As she did, the patient said: “That burns.”

In another instance, Pou told a hospital administrator that she was “under the impression that the patients were not aware of what was happening.” That staffer corrected her, pointing out that one patient ? a 61-year-old man weighing 380 pounds and paralyzed ? appeared “conscious, awake and alert.” So, according to the affidavit, she asked for the man to be sedated.

They didn’t even bother to talk with the victims about the situation.

And have a look at this:


Angela McManus was forced to leave her 70-year-old mother on the acute-care floor of Memorial Hospital Sept. 1 when police demanded relatives evacuate. McManus’ mother was not among the four the doctor and nurses are accused of killing. But she said her mother, who was recovering from a blood infection, was fine when she left her ? then mysteriously died the same day.

“I need some answers just to be able to function,” said McManus.

Angela McManus summed things up well by saying (emphasis added):

“Euthanasia is something you do to a horse, or to an animal. When you do it to people, it’s called murder.”

Just sick that people in the medical profession would betray the trust of patients and families that way. To me it looks like it is possible that Angela McManus’ mother was also murdered and she is being lied to about what happened.

As the saying goes “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. I see plenty of “good intentioned” Liberals on that road. If you have not picked up a copy of Ann Coulter’s book Godless, I highly recommend it. After reading it you’ll understand why the Liberal media is avoiding actually talking about the substance of the book. They fear continual open debate about their wrong headed ideas. And Ann’s book has detailed facts they’d rather not touch.

Pray for the “good intentioned” Liberals. And their victims!
