Dr. Anna Pou

Friday, June 29th 2007

Away from New Orleans the memory of Katrina seems like it is already starting to fade. So you’re excused if you don’t remember the story of Dr. Anna Pou and co. who were accused of killing patients at Memorial in N.O. in order that they could you know…get out themself.

Despite the Coroner’s findings it is just short of a year since Dr. Pou was arrested and charged. Now it looks like the D.A. down there is really looking to string the Otolaryngologist up. There is immunity for nurses originally charged with Dr. Pou,

Two nurses accused in the post-Katrina deaths of four patients at New Orleans’ Memorial Medical Center have been offered immunity to testify before a special grand jury, sources close to the investigation tell CNN.

Sources close to the investigation told CNN the two nurses are expected to testify before the grand jury in the next two weeks, which could signal a possible wrapping up of the case. It could also signal the main target of the investigation is Pou, a physician who was under contract with Memorial Medical Center when Katrina struck.

I’ve been away from the blogosphere for a while, and I’m sure there’s been so chatter about this Grand Jury movement. Certainly Dr. Pou’s efforts have a strong internet presence. You can visit her defense fund page here.

Ah, is “medskool” written by another illiterate doctor? Maybe Miz Poe simply could not read: kill…heal…I dont’ know! The label says something but oh, my, I can’t read!! Of course, no reader can tell if you approve letting Missy off the hook, which it seems you do, but then, doctors aren’t supposed to make value judgements. Now, are they? Gosh, that might stink of ethics—and well, you’ve got big bills to pay! If you’re really in medskool, I do feel sorry for you. All that debt, and subhuman ideological indoctrination so that you, too, may kill people, but (maybe even actually believe) you’re “healing” them. And you will never know that, for us, talking to you in your office is exactly like being in the room with Adolph Eichmann, or any doctor in Robert Jay Lifton’s Nazi Doctors (the book American patients use while trying to grapple with the ignorant, subhuman-ness of pseudo-healer managed care robot heads…while watching their moms and kids die and die and die! “Need a good doctor” says one of your silly little articles. It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. If you had any idea what better educated, richer Americans think of garbage like you. The average citizen (who spent just as long in college learning how to be as human as you are subhuman) sees sites like yours and shudders. It’s why my kids are not allowed to play with health care workers. In fact, health care worker’s children are not allowed in our home—but doc daddies never even know they are excluded, or why. Killing, perhaps, helps you elevate yourself above being a pseudo-educated bedpan slinger. Wow, some idiot went into major debt (I dont’ carry any, myself), just for that? And maybe he gets a weinee porche, too! And secretly, deep down, like Ms. Poe (Poo, Pou, whatever), you sorta realized everybody thinks you’re garbage, and you sort of see what you were stupid enough to buy into, but hey, mommy thought doctoring was a great job, blah, blah. And you get a whiff of what the world thinks of you, and then when you get a chance, you kill, kill, kill—because really that’s just what you truly want to do. Otherwise, you’d never work in and thereby support a murder-system, getting all indoctrinated into a level of total untruth, just so you can kill! Whenever you examine patients, never forget they know what you really are deep down, advocate of Miz Poo, just so that you can sort of justify how badly you secretly want to kill when you get out of school (something you may never understand about yourself—although I hope you do). Forget Miz Poo-poo killer….go read Linda Penno’s statement to congress, or something worthwhile…but now. Ethics aren’t this poster’s focus. Ah…killer!

About The Blog


Medicine, healthcare policy, and random commentary from a medical student still on the naive side of the fence.
I'm a fourth year medical student in Texas.

I did my undergrad work in USC's School of Cinematic Arts. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Writing for Screen & Television. I loved it, but a future of waiting tables and taking meetings with B-List producers was not for me.

This blog is ostensibly to discuss healthcare policy and maybe educate a few of my fellow medical students. But it will stray into current events, politics, and other science topics when they draw my interest



Other odd notes about me:
