1. When compared to other hospitals and nursing homes affected by Katrina, the memorial hospital’s final patient death toll was revealed to be the highest. It “was like a picture of hell.”

2. The Tenet attorney makes no improper gestures when he or she responds defensively to the phone-in query by requesting it in writing. He sent a press release blaming outside forces for the tragedy, a corporate description of the incident, and copies of newspaper clippings praising the heroics of the memorial’s staff.

3. Numerous anxious families’ messages were recorded by Tenet telephone operators, who then entered them into a database. The relatives of the deceased were informed of their deaths by the medical officer if a patient related to them managed to get in touch with him personally.
The buses that Tenet leased weren’t too bad; they travelled to Dallas, where the organization had booked and paid for rooms at the upscale Anatole Hotel, complete with toiletry amenity packs, free food vouchers, and assistance reuniting with loved ones. Patients who were fortunate enough to be evacuated via Tenet-hired helicopters were taken to the nearby Tenet hospital, where they were also provided with meals and showers and could benefit from the arrangement.

4. After a challenging search, the investigators learned from the families of the deceased that the patients’ deaths had surprised them because they had been extremely resilient and pain- or anxiety-free, and they also learned that a volunteer coroner from Wisconsin had informed Nelson that an autopsy had been performed on her mother because euthanasia was suspected. They understood that proving a crime requires more than just eyewitness accounts and empty morphine vials.
The autopsy revealed that the Wisconsin coroner Nelson had been right about the autopsy, that euthanasia was suspected, and that the patients had died with traces of morphine and other sedative medicines in their systems. These findings led the investigators to the conclusion that euthanasia had likely occurred.
Because it was not a substance that individuals are typically prescribed, midazolam was significant to the case because it was found in their bodies together with other sedative medicines. It’s not a drug that one can receive a prescription for at home; rather, it’s a substance that is typically used in operating rooms or when someone is about to be intubated. It shouldn’t be administered repeatedly because there would be no justification for someone to build up midazolam in their bodies over time and have it discovered.
Nine people tested positive for morphine, and some of the concentrations of morphine that were discovered are pretty damn high, so morphine was crucial to the case.

5. Andre Schafer As encouraging as it was to gather the information required to pursue justice, much remained in front of them, and he cautioned Virginia Rider, “Don’t get emotionally involved,” since he knew from experience that even the most promising new case typically doesn’t turn out the way you think it may.
