Dr. Anna Pou is an associate professor in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology in the School of Medicine of Louisiana State University.
On Tuesday, July 18, 2006, Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti arrested Pou (along with two nurses, Cheri Landry and Lori Budo) for being "a principal to second-degree murder" in the deaths of four patients at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana in the days following Hurricane Katrina.
The affidavit says Pou and the nurses "intentionally (killed)" Emmett Everett Sr., 61; Hollis Alford, 66; Ireatha Watson, 89; and Rose Savoie, 90, by administering or causing to be administered lethal doses of morphine sulphate (morphine) and/or midazolam (Versed)."
Within the Otolaryngology community, Dr. Pou is widely regarded as a skilled and compassionate surgeon. Following her arrest, her only phone call was to a colleague to arrange care and coverage for her existing patients. In addition to her clinical expertise, Dr. Pou has authored many papers concerning cancer of the head and neck and has been an active teacher of medical students and residents.
