>Louisiana State medical examiner Louis Cataldie was the coroner for 
>the East Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana from 1998 to 2003. He also 
>was a small-town general practitioner and emergency-room doctor in 
>Baton Rouge.
>When Hurricane Katrina hit, Dr. Cataldie helped to evacuate patients 
>and set up field hospitals. He also aided the injured and 
>investigated deaths. That task is ongoing, as Cataldie is working to 
>identify the dead from Katrina. His new book is Coroner s Journal: 
>Stalking Death in Louisiana.
>(Note: an excerpt from his book about his initial experiences after 
>Katrina are posted on the NPR web site.)
>The following paragraph from his book is of particular note for OPHEP:
>Dr. Sanders needs those meds now, and part of the reason I came here 
>is so that he could look me in the eye and know who I am and have me 
>as a direct contact. I put a lot of faith in seeing a man 
>one-on-one. That's why I respect Stewart Simonson, assistant 
>secretary for Public Health Emergency Preparedness at the Department 
>of Health and Human Services, who met me face-to-face and has stayed 
>true to his word. Imagine, someone from D.C. being a straight guy. 
>He has delivered every time -- not so with some of these other 
>cover-your-ass feds. It's disgusting, and disappointing.
