shit! Are the Doctors and Nurses at Charity going to Die too?

[leftchick]

The patients are dying on the roof waiting for flights that are not coming. The staff is in a hoffic state. Exhasted and hungry with no sleep. Gupta reporting from there for CNN.

1. Gupta should be PRACTICING, not reporting.

Get your fucking hands dirty you goddamn scumbag!

[leftchick]

3. that is what I thought

:(

[htuttle]

5. I wouldn't be surprised if he is practicing

When he went to a forward medical base during the invasion of Iraq, they were also overwhelmed, and he ended up doing surgery between his CNN reports.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Gupta was doing that this time, too.

[eShirl]

7. HOW DO YOU KNOW HE IS NOT?

?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. If he's spending his time compiling reports and being on camera

That's most definitely not time that he is spending treating patients. Simple fucking logic tells me he is not.

[OhioChick]

10. Don't be surprised if he is helping

He's been known to perform surgeries in the past during devastating times.

2. They wont let the white doctors and nurses die.

I apppreciate their work and dedication, don't get me wrong. I'm always impressed by the medical profession's resposnse to emergency situations. But OUR "government" will not let those white professionals die.

8. Don't count on that.

After all these are people stupid enough to work in a CHARITY hospital, not some toney cosmetic clinic, trying to save lives and health of people who don't have money. They deserve to die along with the scum they treat.:sarcasm:

Something is definitely wrong with the fact that there are people on the roof waiting for rescue but the helicopter pilots say they are being shot at so they can't take the chance. I'd think at least one of those people waiting would be able to say that they couldn't understand why someone would shoot at rescuers.

Well, maybe the people up on that roof are deaf. :sarcasm:

4. The Doctors thought the patients would be airlifted throught the night

they never came back after yesterday afternoon. They are still using manual ventilator bags on these people. Several patients have died on the parking deck. I am in tears

:cry:

6. They've known about these problems since

fucking Tuesday morning. Someone from the Tulane hospital was on the phone with FEMA about problems at Tulane and Charity, trying to get patients and staff evacuated.

AND IT'S NOW FUCKING FRIDAY, and nothing has been done?

I am so beyond angry it's ridiculous.
