This book centers around one hospital (Memorial) during the onset and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Details the breakdown in communications of hospital staff, corporate, local & federal agencies as well as actions taken by hospital staff. I admit I ended up skimming though parts of the book due to it's in depth details of hospital protocols, etc. Also, takes a look at the push to indict staff members for the human loss at the hospital.
