re: 5 days at Memorial

Easy for you to say from the comfort of your home.

You have no idea what those people went through and the decisions that had to be made under unimaginable stress, horrific conditions, no access to outside information, and little to no sleep.

The corporation they worked for literally left them there to die. The government failed them at every level.

5 days later they are ordered to evacuate at gunpoint. I don’t know what really happened, but would it have been better to leave those patients to die alone, slowly?

I understand the grief of the families. It’s a tragedy any way you look at it.

But to prosecute local healthcare workers who voluntarily stayed until the bitter end to care for patients vs. the corporations that were ultimately responsible for those patients, yet failed to plan and left them there to die? Or the elected officials that failed at every step of the way? That doesn’t make sense to me either.

Why are you making this some sort of us versus them thing? Are some sort of communist or something?

Because it’s a clear political/elitist escape. They even admitted that it was because of an outcry why the ADA that was selected was selected and why they chose not to indict. That usually only happens for political and or social gain

1) Did you notice that the two main “eye witnesses” that spoke to the investigators weren’t even at the hospital on the third day?

2) Do you think this woman thought to herself “You know what? I’m going to volunteer to stay behind during this storm even though I’m not required to because maybe shite will get so bad that I can get away with murdering some poor sick people”

Grow up dude

No, but she decided that those people didn’t need to live anymore & that was not her choice to make.

Just because AppleTV says so doesn’t make it true brother. It was biased “docudrama” at best.

And not charging her was the right call even if she mercy killed them. How many “elites” and “upper class” doctors are going to stick around during the next storm if they know they could be charged with murder on some trumped up political charges? Then you’d be whining about how these uppity elites abandoned their patients in the time of their most dire need.

Let’s say Pou did inject those patients full of morphine with the intention of killing them. What do you think her reasoning was?

Of course Coast Guard rescue helicopters are capable of flying at night.

The female head and neck surgeon, Dr Pou,showed her ignorance of USCG flight capabilities with that statement. She also was probably parroting someone else who didn't know what the frick they were talking about. But I don't think Dr Pou started killing patients because of her mistaken belief that helicopters can't fly at night.

But are they able to find an unlit, out of service (7 or 8 years not used) helistop in the middle of a blacked out city? Can Memorial staff safely transport patients up stairs to the helistop in the dark? Are there railings/guardrails around the helistop area to prevent people from falling 8 stories to the street in the the dark?

Someone at Memorial made the decision to stop air evacuations after dark. Whether the reward of a quicker patient evacuation or the risk of staff safety was greater we'll never know.

IDK what your deal is...but you seem like a big bitch

We need you to go watch Disney’s Pocahontas and get back to us on the details of what happened. We are dying to know these historical events.

I wasn't familiar with the Ana Pou story until I read the book.

Even though the book was not-so-subtly biased against Pou, as I reader I still sympathized with Pou's predicament. In no way, shape, or form did I come away from that book with the notion that Pou was some sort of slimy villain who got away with mass murder.

I haven't seen any of the series, but from the sound of it, the producers clearly decided they needed a more villainous villain to make it more compelling.
