505 0  Deadly choices -- Reckoning. 
520    Fink provides a landmark investigation of patient deaths 
       at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by Hurricane Katrina-- 
       and a suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and 
       justice. After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, 
       the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted 
       caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for 
       rescue. Months later, several health professionals faced 
       criminal allegations that they deliberately injected 
       numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths. Fink 
       unspools the mystery of what happened in those days, 
       bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life 
       and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of 
       health care rationing.
