Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink’s landmark investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by Hurricane Katrina – and her suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice
In the tradition of the best writing on medicine, physician and reporter Sheri Fink reconstructs five days at Memorial Medical Center and draws the reader into the lives of those who struggled mightily to survive and to maintain life amidst chaos.
After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. Months later, several health professionals faced criminal allegations that they deliberately injected numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths.
Five Days at Memorial , the culmination of six years of reporting, unspools the mystery of what happened in those days, bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing.
In a voice at once involving and fair, masterful and intimate, Fink exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals just how ill-prepared we are in America for the impact of large-scale disasters—and how we can do better. A remarkable book, engrossing from start to finish, Five Days at Memorial radically transforms your understanding of human nature in crisis.

评分People with absolute capabilities and authority, who are injected with heroism, who make extraordinary, hastened decisions, almost always fuck up. BIG TIME. But then sadly, the society needs heroes, even at the expense of ethics. // "Take me to Holland."
评分读这本书,就知道今时今日并非幻象。可惜nola那么有风味的城市,多年后还在飓风之后挣扎,而新冠死亡率,也是全国前三了。
评分沉痛、犀利、深刻、诚实,就是不怎么好看。当然作为纪实文学,追求的本来就不是好看。
