Louisiana's Investigation into Sick Patient "Euthanasia"

I really question stories about widespread euthanasia in hospitals during Hurricane Katrina. I've worked in hospitals for more than five years and any doctor's who's spending an emergency IN that hospital isn't doing anything but trying to keep people stable.

This investigation is going to open more pain, put more pressures on medical staffs and families already pushed beyond what most of us could withstand, and amount to money and effort better spent on the living. After all, Louisiana's last charity hospital just closed. LAST.
