From katallison.

'These people were going to die anyway'

The doctor said: "I didn't know if I was doing the right thing. But I did not have time. I had to make snap decisions, under the most appalling circumstances, and I did what I thought was right.

"I injected morphine into those patients who were dying and in agony. If the first dose was not enough, I gave a double dose. And at night I prayed to God to have mercy on my soul."

From The Daily Mail.

Dear God.

I don't see how they could've done anything else, given the circumstances, but I hope they don't end up paying for their decisions. I'm glad The Mail on Sunday is a UK paper. They've said they'll keep identities secret, and since they're abroad, they should be successful in doing so. I can't imagine they'll give two shits how much anyone in the US screeches on, they'll keep their sources safe.

But of course the biggest indictment these doctors and nurses will face will be from themselves.

May God have mercy on their souls indeed.
