116. Nadine, no offense to you but sending doctors away is a crime in my book
They are "in loco parentis" in a position of responsibility for those patients EVEN OUT IN THE BUSH IN DARFUR.

Medecins Sans Frontieres would never do such a thing.

Evacuate the whole hospital if you must, or evacuate patients needing critical care WITH THE DOCTORS.

Any doctor who left critical patients on UN orders should be drawn up on PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT charges
when they get home,

Just as they would be in many jurisdictions if they administered execution or end-of-life medication.

"I was following orders" is no excuse.

Doctors have a professional obligation to their fraternity and code of conduct irrespective of jurisdiction,
whether a government is in place or not, just like any other skilled profession.
