Doctors Kill Patients in New Orleans

the Mail online | We had to kill our patients:

Doctors working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

With gangs of rapists and looters rampaging through wards in the flooded city, senior doctors took the harrowing decision to give massive overdoses of morphine to those they believed could not make it out alive.

Sad but aparently true. What will there be next? Will there be justice or will this be glossed over by the government?

Yet a recent study by the Urban Institute — not exactly the free market’s best friend — claimed that the Census Bureau number was overstated by 4 million. Another study by the Department of Health and Human Services found it was too high by 9 million.
