Why aren't all the doctors, nurses, aids, orderlies, and administrators that left the hospital not being charged with abandonment? Why didn't the people who believed that some impropriety was about to occur make a concerted effort to prevent that occurrence? And since they didn't try to prevent what they said they knew was going to occur, are they not also a principal party to a crime (if one occurred) as well? In fact, aren't they more guilty of a crime, because in their frame of mind they believed they knew what was right but failed to prevent the wrong from occurring? Surely, there were enough people on premise of the same mind set to have been able to physically restrain others. A physician's emergency committal can be issued against a physician and nurses. Why wasn't that done by the involved parties? Too many questions abound. Why would someone in the medicaid fraud division of the AG’s office be at the forefront of this recent media event?

Please accept my apologies for my earlier outburst. If I happen to make any other brainless outbursts, please assume I think I’m being ironically witty, though chances are I don’t understand what irony is.

How exactly does TM, the affiant, "gain"? Once that person's name is revealed, they'll be despised by the medical community. Who are the people who likely have something to gain?

The man wasn't guilty; Eric Rudolph later confessed to the bombing. <br/><br/>We don't know the facts yet about what went on, if ANY euthanasia actually occurred or if so, who did it. We have people who likely have something to gain, making accusations. And that's all we have.

How about we all withhold judgment until ALL the facts have been heard? Allegations are not equivalent to the truth, anymore than being in healthcare give you a license to kill.

What a decision these people must have felt they had to make. Not being there, I certainly won't judge. That being said, if I were in bad condition anyway, and was starving and thirsty and in pain and suffering...I'm not sure I would not have asked someone to help me to not suffer any longer. Wow.

I think they should drop it. If she did euthanize those patients because they were suffering, then she did a good thing, and hanging a “murder” sign on the thing is ridiculous.”

These claims were made and you don’t even want it INVESTIGATED?
