In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, causing severe flooding and literally turning the city into ruins. Memorial Medical Center was locked down, without electricity and the ability to get help from anywhere. Thousands of people - from seriously ill patients to relatives of medical staff - were cut off from the outside world for five days. Doctors had to make difficult decisions: who to save first, who should be evacuated, and who might not live to see it. A few months later, when this horror was behind us, some doctors were arrested for administering lethal doses to hopeless patients drugs...What really happened at Memorial Medical Center? Mass kill? Or did doctors, sacrificing their careers, take this step to ease the last hours of the dying? Sheri Fink will answer these questions by demonstrating how human behavior changes in critical situations.
