PATIENTS KILLED IN NEW ORLEANS
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Rather than allow critically ill patients suffer during the Katrina threat, doctors actually killed them, according to The Mail and reported on Religious News Online.
While some were raping others in New Orleans midst high winds and rising waters, still others were looting stores, hauling away as much merchandise as they could drag through drenching downpours.
In the meantime, “senior doctors took the harrowing decision to give massive overdoses of morphine to those they believed could not make it out alive.”
The Mail Sunday reported that a doctor actually revealed that she asked the Lord God to “’have mercy on my soul’” because she put to the side the medical ethic, doing away with certain patients under her care whom she deemed could not be salvaged.
This is not widely reported by the media. Nevertheless, in the midst of compassion flowing like rivers from hearts touched by those agonizing through this national disaster, patients were put to death, innocent citizens were sexually molested and stores were stripped of their produce.
As to the hospital killings, orderlies and government authorities confirmed the data. William McQueen stated that “’those who had no chance of making it were given a lot of morphine and lain down in a dark place to die.’”
There are times when stress overcomes every other option but the most dire choices, it was reported. This seems to be the case with the medical professionals overseeing extremely ill human beings, hence the actual killings taking place inside a American city’s hospital facility.
Interestingly enough, euthanasia cannot be practiced in the state of Louisiana. That makes the situation all the more bizarre. Because of that, The Mail is not revealing the personal data regarding medical personnel related to the killings. The media does not want their lives to be endangered by such information being made public.
One physician explained his anguish: "’I didn't know if I was doing the right thing. But I did not have time. I had to make snap decisions, under the most appalling circumstances, and I did what I thought was right. I injected morphine into those patients who were dying and in agony. If the first dose was not enough, I gave a double dose. And at night I prayed to God to have mercy on my soul.’"
Eventually even that female doctor left the city in haste, not wanting to be killed by armed looters. In other words, the whole scene in downtown New Orleans under floodwaters was beyond reason and at times beyond civility. Some persons took the law into their own hands, breaking the basic legal fabric of a society.
In defense of her actions in killing patients, the doctor refused to use the term “killing.” Instead, she said: “’This was not murder, this was compassion. They would have been dead within hours, if not days. We did not ‘put people down.’ What we did was give comfort to the end. I had cancer patients who were in agony. In some cases the drugs may have speeded up the death process.
The Mail reports that “Mr. McQueen, a utility manager for the town of Abita Springs, half an hour north of New Orleans, told relatives that patients had been 'put down', saying: ‘They injected them, but nurses stayed with them until they died.’"
“Mr. McQueen has been working closely with emergency teams and added: ‘They had to make unbearable decisions.’"
