…”Five Days at Memorial,” Sheri Fink’s Pulitzer-winning account of what went on at that New Orleans hospital during Hurricane Katrina, a five star recommendation by my pal http://buddshenkin.blogspot.com/, toward whom I turn on all questions of national health policy, as well as why I should give a shit about what goes on in the Ukraine. I could have done without the last bit about the competing theories about disbursing medical care during disasters, but the account of events was compelling, the characters were well-rendered, and my thinking was bounced around quite a bit.
