The scenes in the hospital during and following the hurricane were compelling - but the witch-hunt and blame shifting afterwards was frustrating.
I had NO sympathy for the investigators who were plainly directed by Louisiana authorities to try and shift blame somewhere. Anywhere.
The constantly "thanking God" by Dr Pou - despite god being equally responsible for the hurricane! The corruption and stupidity of a privatised health system which has profits as it's major motive.
But the question about the final acts of medical staff? Was it euthanasia or just "making them comfortable"?
Who cares?
They had a broader responsibility to stopping the suffering of patients who couldn't and WOULDN'T be evacuated in time. Dying alone from thirst, starvation, heat and lack of medical care.
A damning appraisal of a broken system with mind blowing failures of authorities.
