People are going after the hospitals:
The deaths at Uptown’s Memorial Medical Center during the stifling, dark hours after Hurricane Katrina have spawned more than the highly publicized arrests of a doctor and two nurses on murder charges. A predictable thicket of civil lawsuits has also sprouted, records show.
Two suits filed at Orleans Parish Civil District Court concern the deaths of five patients at Memorial, some of them on the same acute care ward that is the focus of Attorney General Charles Foti’s probe.
