Dr Anna Pou - blessed are the merciful

From The Health Care Blog's New York Desk ... A defense fund has been set up to help cover legal expenses for Dr. Anna Pou and the two nurses charged with murder by Louisiana attorney general Charles Foti in the Memorial Medical Center case last week.

Insider concurs with Bitch PhD on this one.

Just imagine the conditions.

If it had been me, or my loved ones, then pass me the syringe..............

Except according to the affidavit she didn't give the patients the choice you imagine yourself having. One patient was conscious and alert (and apparently not terminal) and she neither gave him a choice nor told him the truth. She just said she was giving himself something for dizziness and killed him. That's not mercy, that's murder.

Why would someone in the medicaid fraud division of the AG's office be at the forefront of this recent media event? Why aren't all the doctors, nurses, aids, orderlies, and administrators that left the hospital not being charged with abandonment? Why didn't the people who believed that some impropriety was about to occur make a concerted effort to prevent that occurrence? And since they didn't try to prevent what they said they knew was going to occur, are they not also a principal party to a crime (if one occurred) as well? In fact, aren't they more guilty of a crime, because in their frame of mind they believed they knew what was right but failed to prevent the wrong from occurring? Surely, there were enough people on premise of the same mind set to have been able to physically restrain others. A physician's emergency committal can be issued against a physician and nurses. Why wasn't that done by the involved parties? Too many questions abound.
