Disgusting, I hope she is punished. The dead deserve better than this.

There is no identification of the deceased in that photo. It's just showing the reality of what is happening.

It is no better than posing with the coffins of service members killed when they are offloaded from the planes in Dover.

Nobody was posing in the photo referenced in the OP. Have you seen the photo?

He thinks the nurse who took the pic was female so I have my doubts that he even opened the page.

Back in my day, we'd just dump 'em in the pine barrens.

Although I understand her concerns, if I had a loved one who died and his or her body bag was displayed by medical personnel, I think I would have a problem with it. Being in healthcare doesn't necessarily give one the right to take photographs of patients, dead or alive. I am not condemning what she did, I just want to give a different perspective on it.

Thank you for posting that. A picture like this is worth a thousand words. It is not disrespectful in the least. It is what it is.

There's no way to identify who is those body bags though.

Your dead loved one isn't everyone's dead loved one, I agree.

BUT

Nobody's dead loved one is not your dead loved one.

They are nameless to us and their names and ALL identifying information was withheld. They went through GREAT lengths to hide that info.

They can't give out names of the people in that photo who died. They have a right to privacy. Medical professionals can't give out that information.
