Sheri Fink "Five Days at Memorial"

Fink combines the sharp eye of a Pulitzer-winning journalist with the hard-won experience of a disaster-relief doctor to chronicle the events at New Orleans's Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina, and to raise questions about the country's handling of disaster. Under horrific conditions, Memorial's health-care workers saved those they could—and later faced charges about their treatment of the others.
