INTRODUCTION |
|
In July 2006, Dr. Anna Marie Pou (Dr. Pou), a surgeon with an excellent reputation for patient care, and two nurses Cheri Landry and Lori Budo, who worked through the chaos that followed Hurricane Katrina (Katrina), were accused of giving four patients stranded at their hospital, Memorial Medical Center (Memorial), New Orleans, US, lethal doses of morphine and a sedative. They were charged with second-degree murder in connection with patient deaths. Earlier, on September 11, 2005, 13 days after the hurricane hit New Orleans, mortuary workers had recovered 45 decomposing bodies from Memorial. This led to an extensive investigation by the Louisiana attorney general, Charles Foti Jr. (Foti), into the hospital and nursing-home deaths during Hurricane Katrina. . |
