Terminal patients euthanized in New Orleans?

Something about this story just reads like a tabloid.

With gangs of rapists and looters rampaging through wards in the flooded city, senior doctors took the harrowing decision to give massive overdoses of morphine to those they believed could not make it out alive.

One emergency official, William 'Forest' McQueen, said: "Those who had no chance of making it were given a lot of morphine and lain down in a dark place to die."

So when the pharmacy was under lockdown, the morphine was reserved mainly for lethal doses? When the whole hospital was becoming submerged, the terminal patients were moved to "a dark place" to die? When a patently outrageous story has been out 2 days and no MSM is covering it (not even FOXnews!) it pretty much screams hoax.
