读过《Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
[Made in NOLA] [有聲書] 聽了兩遍。電視劇傳達的信息還是少太多太多了。書聽過之後的感受要複雜好多，提出的問題也遠多於醫護們做了什麼、對不對這個具體和最末端的問題。更多多向的比較也在幫助理解困境、提出各個層面、環節上的問題和可能的辦法。

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.
, 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.
