[StBernard] predicament

[Westley Annis]

Gaby,  I have never bashed anyone that worked in the nursing home industry
or in a hospital setting, or any other setting that stayed for Katrina, or
any other storm for that matter.  I do not blame the staff, doctors, nurses,
or anyone.  I think they are to be commended.  I am not cussing or fussing
at them.  I'm just saying some people always will, and you can't please
everyone.  My young neice was at Baptist during the storm, a nurse with the
premies and it was a miracle none died.  They needed to evacuate in
helicopters with the little ones.  No sleep for three days.  No power. No
showers. I realize the situation every caretaker was in. I do not think the
doctors committed murder and I don't think the owners of St. Rita's
committed murder.  I think they made a terrible mistake, but I do not think
they meant to kill their patients.  Hind sight is 20/20 and I just think it
would have been worth all the bad mouthing they would have recieved to keep
their patients alive.  It was a tragic decision.
