Sheri Fink, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, presents
the harrowing events that took place at Memorial Medical Center before, during,
and after Hurricane Katrina. Without a
sure disaster plan the hospital was woefully underprepared for the devastating
storm. Facing life or death decisions
the staff made questionable choices that led to an involved investigation and
criminal charges ultimately being brought against a doctor and two nurses. We may never know exactly what happened
during those five days but this book takes as comprehensive a look as possible
at all sides.
