In 2005, medical staff at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans were arrested on charges of second-degree murder for allegedly euthanizing patients with lethal doses of dr*gs following Hurricane Katrina.
Four critically ill patients, unable to be moved, were left stranded in the hospital as it faced evacuation and a complete loss of power.
Dr. Anna Pou defended her actions, stating that her intent was to provide comfort and alleviate the patients' suffering in what she described as an impossible and dire situation.
Eventually, the charges were expunged and the State of Louisiana paid Pou's legal fees.
