About this listen

First went the power. Then came the water, and for five days, the country’s oldest hospital was under siege. The never-before-told story of the heroic doctors, nurses, and patients who fought to survive Hurricane Katrina at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. The story traces a remarkable five-day transformation of an infirm institution, caught in a sea of death and indifference, into an island of care and tenderness.

Captivating, Heartbreaking, REAL!

Outside of New Orleans, few people know the history, and death of Charity. I do wish the author had gone more in depth into the aftermath, the politics which ended Charity.

Chapter 8 repeats 3 times. Annoying.

It's fine except for chapter 8 and the pronunciation of names. I almost stopped after chapter 8

Chapter 8 repeats

Chapter 8 repeats and I wish they talked more about why they never re opened because there are still so many questions
