No water. No food. Poeple dying.

[soup]

19. the doctor -

nothing has prepared me for this - about 200 patients an hour.
folks lined up wall to wall
how long you been waiting here? '3 days'
'I've been on a roof since about 4 days.'
man badly infected hand (yuk) from punching out window as water rose.
just trying to save the lives they could
putting people in morgue just so they can pass away in peace.
50-60 a day they can't save. alot of john and jane does.
'changes my view of life.'
airport last stop in NO
stacked floor to ceiling in planes.

[Liberty Belle]

22. putting LIVE people in a morgue to pass away in peace?

What sort of heartless ghouls are running this place?

kick!

[supernova]

23. It's Triage

Save those you can and let the rest go. It's what happens in a war zone.

[Tatiana]

26. Sad but true.

At least in a war zone, the medics have some morphine. The suffering those poor people have had to endure....

UGH! I am so bitter and angry. This didn't have to happen.

[hwmnbn]

36. They have no choice. No relief supplies available....

medical equipment, personnel, facilities. They are overwhelmed. Slowly getting better but deaths are occurring. They are in an impossible situation.

I'm beside myself. tears on my keyboard.

[qanda]

21. This is possibly the most disturbing thing I have ever seen

They were taking people to the morgue to die. I wouldn't treat my dogs like that. What have we become?

[Wind Dancer]

24. This will haunt me forever!

There are no words!

:cry:

[RSchewe]

25. Whoever ends up being ultimately responsible for this mass death is....

going to rot in hell.

[OneGrassRoot]

34. the key word is "ultimately".... and we know who that is...... n/t

[hwmnbn]

27. wait till you see the segment about the man and his dog...

24 yr. old man on the side of the highway. He was told they would not take his dog for evacuation. He had this dog since he was 10. He would not leave his dog. Nate the designer guy found a private home willing to take care of the dog. The man hugged nate and broke down and cried with relief. I'm tearing up as I type this.

[cynatnite]

30. Watched and cried

So beautiful they were reunited.

[Lex]

31. Oh--I just saw it.

Crying now.

Heart-wrenching.

[soup]

28. lisa ling - Nate someone

metarie
desolate walking down interstate
triage on highway how odd
people been here for Days

It's hell.

Nate reminded of tsunami.

Nate - I have a solution - we are going to take the dog rodrikee? - send him to baton rouge where we are staying.

[Tatiana]

[soup]

37. Thought I was cried out. Thought there could be no more tears.

[Jeanette in FL]

41. I thought the same thing

I will be crying for hours after watching Oprah. Oh my God.

[soup]

:cry:

[flyarm]

29. there was a post earlier today they locked but there was someone on it who

lied..he said the dr said they put those dying " near the morgue "..

the person who started the post said the dying people were put "in the morgue"..well i just saw this dr on oprah,.and he confirmed what the origianl poster said,,that they put the dying "in the morgue"

"in the morgue to die in peace"..."in the morgue " not near the morgue..so it seems there was a freeper trying to lie about the real story...

the freepers are in full force trying to cover the lying son of a bitch who they call president...

this dr said they were dying alone and with no family or anyone with them!

dying "in " the morgue...alone..with no family....

god help us..what have we become as a nation...i am crying almost too hard to type..god who are we now??? what are we now???

and these fuckers still make excuses for that bastard *...those fuckers better stay far far away from me...

omg...what have we become .....

get that fucker out of our white house...how many dead until we are so outraged we take our government back????????????

ohhh god...

i am sorry to all the poor souls...i am sooo sorry we did that to you...

i am sooo sorry what our country has become..under these fucking monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fly

[dogday]

38. If they had of come sooner a lot of people

would not of been put in the morgue to die while still alive. They would of been able to get some help... Those bastards, every hour they delayed, people were losing their lives...

[RSchewe]

33. This is rough to watch... God help these bastards for abandoning...

these people.

[soup]

39. Doctor

outside convention center
desparate here, people not eating drinking
stench place foul

someone shot last night.
'god rest him'
in middle of the street.
putting chairs around the body so nobody will run over it.

holding child
baby heartrate almost 200.
feeding bottle of water
have to get baby out for medical care.

never think this is possible.

too many bodies to take care of
using refrigerated trucks
as makeshift morgue
too sick have to be put to side
'god bless you' to dying man

99% in NO had incredible grace under pressure
1% didn't-
I'll never understand
giving bottle of water to one baby made a difference.
