I saw an interview last night from the doctor who treated most of the patients at this nursing home. They had to weigh moving these people or keeping them there. Statistically, they loose 2-3 patients in each of these moves. I can only imaging how it would feel to know that a family member was removed and later died only to find out the storm missed them by miles. I'm not saying they made the right decision, but they did have to make a choice.
From all the news I have gathered, these are not the sort of people you would find in an abusive sort of situation. They might have had made a poor judgment call but I challenge you to put yourself in their shoes.
We know they had information on the storm. We know they had an opportunity to get out. We know that they were likely to loose a couple of folks in the transfer.
We know all of that but we don't know the past history of evacuation. We don't know how the building has weathered previous storms. We don't know a lot of the factors that they had to use to make that difficult decision.
Our attorney general is playing CYA. He is probably dirty just like the rest of the politicians here and wants to make sure there is no reason to hold him accountable for any wrong doing. Rushing to judgment is only going to make him look like a fool and waste the tax payers’ money. Welcome to Louisiana.
