This was my only point in asking the questions to you, because it didn't seem like you understood this based on your first few posts. I'm glad you do, and definitely hope you never have to experience it again.

Were you there?

I don't live in NO and wasn't even aware of this story. I can't be the only one watching the show not aware of what happened.

Probably shouldn't expect to peruse a Louisiana based message board and not have a lot of people discussing it who are, either.

I'd assert there really shouldn't be any expectation of being insulated from "spoilers" on any sort of true life TV show/movie regardless.

I know the type of female surgeon you're talking about..

I've seen many. You just want to tell them to lighten up...

Na, not the overconfident god complex you typically expect. That's the frat boy with liquid courage style I usually laugh at.

This was ice queen. If she hadn't been 15 years older I'd have asked her to ruin my life for a few months.

She should be executed on live TV by firing squad as a message.

I'm all for executing people on live TV, but you have done considerably worse than she has.

Does that mean we start with you?

Or maybe you don't believe what you see on a Netflix special....

I worked with her some several years ago. Never asked her about Katrina related things. I figured she gets enough of that. But I never saw anything that gave me even the slightest inkling that she would treat anyone with anything other than the highest level of medical ethics.

What I can tell you is that yes- she has ice in her veins. I have no idea if that is her natural disposition or a result of the witch-hunt she had to endure. But despite that, she does actually care about her patients. And she is a great doctor. You would be in good hands with her.

This is one of the situations where I do believe the federal government should/could have stepped up much sooner.

I’m prolly gunna regret this, but I’ll go to bat for the Gov’t,,,,once,,,,in a case like this or any other natural disaster, your on your own for the first few days,,,,,now in this case, I don’t think anyone of us who could have been in charge would have said on Sunday nite before landfall, “Gimme 500 boats, 500 helos, and have them in NOLA Monday morning because we think the levees will break and flood the whole town, oh and do the same thing for Slidell, St Bernard, and the Mississippi Coast. I will give them this, Tuesday morning when I arrived by helo, the airspace was very sparsely populated,,,,,by Thursday, it was downright dangerous with all the helos,,,,,but even with all that, it was a “target rich environment” with really no central repository for good hard core intel on 1. Where to go 2. What to Bring, and most importantly 3. Where to take all these patients.

It wasn't the doctors fault the hospital administration didn't have a solid evacuation order in place.

which wouldn’t have been necessary if the levees would’ve held

Foti's decision to prosecute cost him the election. Doctors and health care folks across the state and nation began pilling the money on Buddy Caldwell. Buddy would have never stood a chance otherwise against Foti.

I have a friend who is a Dr. and was at Memorial for Katrina.. To this day she won't talk about it at all.. She is a really strong person and it shook her.. She was interviewed by the AG's office about Pou.
