New Orleans Memorial to be rebuilt, questions linger

Tenet Healthcare said it is considering building a new hospital on the site of heavily-damaged Memorial Hospital in New Orleans. The company has hired an architect and is developing a proposal for a 200-bed facility. The plans were announced at a closed-door meeting attended by about 90 doctors. Memorial remains the focus of an investigation by the Louisiana attorney general's office into reports of possible mercy killings during the week following Hurricane Katrina. The Dallas-based provider continues to deny the charges.
