(if we believe the two reporters who put their names on the report of the interview they claim to have conducted with the doctor in question)

... senior doctors took the harrowing decision to give massive overdoses of morphine to those they believed could not make it out alive.

... "I injected morphine into those patients who were dying and in agony. If the first dose was not enough, I gave a double dose. ... The pharmacy was under lockdown because gangs of armed looters were roaming around looking for their fix. You have to understand these people were going to die anyway."

This is the actual crux of the thing, that everybody is missing.

Under normal circumstances, medical professionals would give morphine in sufficient doses to relieve pain, regardless of whether the effect might be lethal.

In these circumstances -- knowing that the morphine then on hand might be all the morphine that they would have for some time, since no rescue efforts were underway -- the doctor decided to intentionally administer certainly lethal doses rather than leave the patients to suffer when she ran out of morphine.
