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

Five Days at Memorial examines the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina as it unfolded, focusing on events at Memorial Medical Center, where medical staff cared for patients without running water or electricity for four days as they awaited evacuation. After the storm, three medical professionals – a doctor and two ICU nurses – were investigated for intentionally administering medication to hasten the deaths of critically ill patients.
