Air Force nurse charged in 3 Patients’ OD’s
SAN ANTONIO — An Air Force nurse has been charged with giving lethal amounts of medication to three terminally ill patients in his care, military officials said Tuesday.
Capt. Michael Fontana, 35, was formally charged in military court with deliberately giving three Wilford Hall Medical Center patients lethal amounts of medication, and with conduct unbecoming an officer for allegedly changing a medical document. Wilford Hall, at Lackland Air Force Base, is the Air Force’s largest hospital.
I’m wondering if Capt. Fontana, being employed by such a productive hospital, felt tht no one would notice these “mild passings.” It seems that in America, moreso than ever, there is an absolute right to life; however you have no right to chose when “you” wish to die. In this case, if it is proven that the victims parished on their own terms, then why should it be a crime to assist them in fulfilling their final wishes?
