abstract="On September 1, 2005, Memorial Hospital was on &quot;survival mode.&quot; Hurricane Katrina had felled the levees of New Orleans, submerging a modern city with floodwaters of biblical proportions, tasking physicians and nurses to make morally sound decisions under unprecedented conditions, where, as one physician stated, &quot;[T]he laws of man and the normal standards of medicine no longer applied&quot; (p. 9). In Five Days at Memorial, Sheri Fink, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, resists the urge to assign easy blame or take a position. Instead, she weaves together the perspectives of a cast of people tested by this catastrophe and constructs a tapestry of experiences that isn't neat and comforting but disturbing, compelling, and admirable all at once.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
