Summary

"In the tradition of the best investigative journalism, 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 to maintain life amid the chaos of Hurricane Katrina. In this remarkable and engrossing book, the culmination of six years of reporting, 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"--Page 4 of cover
