Life working at a hospital is a vocation. Only the dedicated
should do it.
In every hospital the doctors and nurses have an obligation
to maintain the standards set. Sometimes this contract is tested. It was during
Hurricane Katrina.
They should have been ready for it—the hurricane. They
should have known the water would rise and the electricity would fail. They
should have known supplies would be strained.
Sometimes things happen and people die who shouldn’t.
You shouldn’t have to ask for sainthood under pressure. Yet most of us expect too much from our
caretakers and then we bring charges against them if they don’t act as we have
been prepared to expect.
Fink, who has both an MD and PhD, has written an account
of five days under pressure and the outcome.
When it was over, the blame started and the charges of
murder were circulated. It was investigated and court action was brought
against some doctors.
I was sent this book without cost from blogging for
books.com to be reviewed. I was not required to give a positive review.
All view points are mine and don’t reflect those of the
publisher. I am responsible for them all.
