NEW ORLEANS (AP) - To Louisiana's attorney general, the doctor and two nurses arrested this past week are murderers. But many in the medical community are outraged at the arrests, saying the three caregivers are heroes who faced unimaginable horrors as Hurricane Katrina flooded the city and trapped them and their patients.

The charge carries a mandatory life sentence, though the state will turn the case over to the New Orleans prosecutor, who will decide whether to ask a grand jury to bring charges.

Recent criminal charges against nurses create worrisome implications for patient safety. Unintentional human errors occur in clinical practice and are inevitable. The vast majority of errors reflect system problems that need to be addressed. Harm to patients can only be reduced or avoided when modern safety theory is used to respond to adverse events. It is essential that errors be reported and analyzed. Punitive approaches deter error-reporting and endanger patients by allowing latent failures to continue. The fear of criminal charges undermines an organization's attempts to create a culture of safety and improve dangerous systems. Criminal prosecutions have a potentially chilling effect on error reporting and analysis and accelerate the shortage of health care providers. A review of s...

Attorney General Charles Foti Jr. announced today his Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which made three arrests Monday in the investigation surrounding patient deaths at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans, confirmed allegations doctors and nurses administered lethal doses of the drugs morphine and/or midazolam to several patients in the long-term care unit operated by Lifecare Hospitals on the seventh floor of Memorial Medical Center. I believe this case is a strong one and that these charges are based on sound legal and medical evidence, Foti said. I also believe that there may be more arrests and victims that cannot be mentioned at this time and that this case is not over yet.
