Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink

3.75

An extremely well researched account of what happened at Memorial Hospital during and after Hurricane Katrina. The way that the author lays out the context behind the decision to involuntarily euthanize patients during the evacuation makes a very clear case for unethical behavior on the part of the physicians, Anna Pou in particular. The book was a lot more dense than I think it needed to be, which made it difficult to read and difficult to differentiate which details were actually important.
