More from the Anna Pou, Lori Budo, and Cheri Landry situation:

Many of us were well aware that our homes and possessions had been swept away in the storm. And too many had the terrible burden of knowing their loved ones were missing, some presumed dead. As professionals, we had to put these thoughts aside and ignore great personal sorrow in order to work as a team to help others. We witnessed first hand Cheri and Lori’Â’s efforts to treat, comfort, and evacuate others. They were dedicated and courageous in the face of great adversity. In light of these great personal sacrifices, we are outraged and heartbroken over the media circus surrounding their recent arrest. Tragically, the rescue helicopters and boats that finally arrived were too few in number and far too late to save some of our patients -– and THAT is the crime that happened in our hospital.

Anna Pou’s case was discussed here, amidst controversial fanfare.
