SPOTLIGHT: Supporters defend Katrina doc

Last week Dr. Anna Pou and two nurses were arrested in connection with the deaths of patients at Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina. Since then the arrests have drawn a public outcry from many in the medical community who feel the three health workers are victims of a witch hunt that seeks to blame them for other's mistakes. Pou's supporters argue that, despite terrible conditions in the hospital, the doctor stayed behind to help patients in long after everyone else in the city evacuated. Many of her colleagues consider her to be a hero. Report
