Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The award-winning book that inspired an Apple Original series from Apple TV+ * A landmark investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by Hurricane Katrina--and the suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice--from a Pulitzer Prize-winning physician and reporter "An amazing tale, as inexorable as a Greek tragedy and as gripping as a whodunit."-- Dallas Morning News After Hurricane Katrina struck and power failed, amid rising floodwaters and heat, exhausted staff at Memorial Medical Center designated certain patients last for rescue. Months later, a doctor and two nurses were arrested and accused of injecting some of those patients with life-ending drugs. Five Days at Memorial , the culmination of six years of reporting by Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink, unspools the mystery, bringing us inside a hospital fighting for its life and into the most charged questions in health care: which patients should be prioritized, and can health care professionals ever be excused for hastening death? Transforming our understanding of human nature in crisis, Five Days at Memorial exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals how ill-prepared we are for large-scale disasters--and how we can do better. ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review * ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Chicago Tribune, Seattle Times, Entertainment Weekly, Christian Science Monitor, Kansas City Star WINNER: National Book Critics Circle Award, J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award, Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Ridenhour Book Prize, American Medical Writers Association Medical Book Award, National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Award

Real life drama
This is a book that stays with you long after you finish reading. Patients and medical personnel were abandoned inside the hospital in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane. Life and death decisions needed to be made in the absence of emergency responders. The book makes you feel like you were there.
