pickI read this as a result of my trip to Nola. This book breaks down everything that went down at Memorial Hospital during Katrina and the flooding afterwards. This book covers what occurred but also many different points of view as the patients, staff, and families are left stranded with things growing more desperate by the hour. The book‘s second half follows the investigation into what occurred there and the resulting legal ramifications.
JoeMo At the center of this story are deep moral dilemmas. The author presented many different points of view but remained objective throughout. What surprised me was how strongly I felt in regard to the moral dilemma and what had transpired at the hospital. Reading The Great Deluge followed by this title was a potent 1-2 combination of the tragedy. The former provided an eerie summary of how Memorial was left when it was abandoned. (edited) 2w
