Gabriella’s Reviews > Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital > Status Update

“Underlying the official response to the crisis was a lack of situational awareness - a view of the larger picture of what was happening and what needed to be done.”

i can’t make sense of this author sometimes. First she seems to be certain Dr. Pou is a murderer that needs to be brought to justice but then she also shames the attorneys for their use of the legal case to further their political agendas. She even points out how they spread medical misinformation to the reporters for dramatic effect by claiming administering certain drugs “guarantees” death

this author keeps saying what she thinks instead of letting the investigation speak for itself or allowing the reader to form their own opinion

why would you make a single chapter over a 100 pgs….

Who decides how care is allocated is critically important because it is, at its heart, a question of moral priorities.

it’s amazing how we can have decades to prepare for a crisis and yet do absolutely nothing to prevent it
