29. I'd approach that rumor with caution...
The claim that doctors deliberately killed their patients has not been substantiated. The story that ran in the British tabloid the Daily Mail offers only one named source. This source turned out to be a man who was on the crew tasked with cleaning up downed trees in the St. Tammany Parish town of Abita Springs.

Is it impossible that doctors started killing their patients in New Orleans? Strictly speaking, no, it's not impossible in the sense that it would be impossible for me to eat the sun. The point is that the tabloid article offers no good reason to believe the allegations of euthanasia.
