the 5 days later story about the request for aid has been demolished elsewhere, i don't think it merits serious consideration.
what i worry about in this account is the way perception altered the triage practices in this case. Indeed, the gangs of rapists story has been pretty much dismissed as hyperbole. Individual sexual assaults may have/are likely to have occured, and this is a serious problem. However, the level of danger is inflated by misperception from serious to beyond comprehension.
i should hope that no patient classified as too weak to transport on account of such hyped up fear...but i do commend the medical professionals who gave the dying the best care possible in the situation, even if that means pain management in the face of certain death.
