Get a mop?

Good afternoon to all,

I just saw a story about a doctor and his staff from a New Orleans area hospital, who kept things going there for their patients, and for those who simply waded in and requested help. The medical team worked around the clock to deal with the problems thrown at them, and were finally evacuated 3 days later. They found themselves in the New Orleans airport, surrounded by a makeshift triage area, sick and dying people all around them, the attending staff appearing overwhelmed by the number of people so clearly in distress. Knowing they couldn't just sit around while people were suffering, the team decided to get back to the work of treating people. The doctor walked up to a FEMA official, identified himself as a doctor, mentioning that he also had a full nursing staff there with him, and asked how he could help......

here's the part that is simply maddening.....

He was told by the FEMA official that his help wasn't needed, but if he really wanted to do something, he could get a mop and mop the floor! Though first shocked by what they were told, the doctor and his staff did indeed mop the floor, knowing that the unsanitary conditions made it especially dangerous for those who were ill. He described seeing people die while he mopped that floor, saying he broke down in tears of frustration knowing he might have been able to help save a life, or at least provide a little comfort to those who were in their last moments.

There's too many stories such as this, it's an outrage!
