Comments on: Dr. Anna Pou Is Not a Murderer http://gruntdoc.com/2006/07/dr-anna-pou-is-not-a-murderer.html Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:40:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mace_B http://gruntdoc.com/2006/07/dr-anna-pou-is-not-a-murderer.html/comment-page-1#comment-4246 Mace_B Sun, 30 Jul 2006 20:45:58 +0000 http://gruntdoc.com/2006/07/dr-anna-pou-is-not-a-murderer.html#comment-4246 I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Pou as a medical student while she was at UTMB. She is a very compassionate physician and anyone who has worked with her will admit that she would be the last person to give up on a patient. In my experience, head and neck surgeons are typically the last person to give up on their patients, even when the patient’s prognosis is grim. Dr. Pou was this type of surgeon and these charges are impossible to believe. Thanks to television and movies, the public's perception is that medicine is foolproof, and that if something bad happens to a patient while in the hospital, then someone must have done something wrong. This misconception doesn't apply in any of today’s hospitals, and it certainly does not apply to any of the hospitals that were treating patients during the crisis situations after Katrina. I hope this attempt to vilify one of the hero's of Katrina ends soon. It is absurd and disrespectful to those that risked their lives to treat countless victims in what was probably the worst medical setting this country has seen. I wish someone could prosecute the attorney's for their actions in this matter. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Pou as a medical student while she was at UTMB.

I read it on his RSS feed, which isn't passworded, so I dodn't know about that. Basically he worked with her closely fora number of years and vouches for her. Yeah, that’s very weird.
