People SURVIVE After a CATASTROPHE in a Hospital and Get Rid of WEAK Patients

Medical drama will tell about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - in a flooded hospital in New Orleans there is no electricity or medicine to keep patients alive. The nursing staff has to throw dozens of people to certain death.

There was someone in my graduate program who was doing studies on wetland preservation in Louisiana. He had to survey several of the new levies that were built after Katrina. He said that most were either just as bad or worse than before Katrina. Wetlands provide land with natural buffers from hurricanes, and he found that more are still being drained to be developed. They are continuously building below sea level around the coast.

I feel like they made choices that nobody could ever begin to comprehend unless they were there.
Just a sad nearly hopeless situation all around.

The younger generations may not realize the actual catastrophe that occured during Hurricane Katrina...it was horrific...to the point other countries were reaching out to offer assistance because our government didnt do a damn thing for those stranded for days!!!!

I was 10 when this happened and my school in Philadelphia was a temporary shelter for those who made it out. I remember going to Walmart with a lot of cousins aunts and uncles and buying nearly most of the baby section and children’s toys and clothes. I remember walking into my school (now a shelter) and thinking the school looks so different. I saw so many people praying and crying. Children without parents and parents without children. It was the saddest thing I ever seen as a newly 10 year old. Those scenes along with 9/11 are memories of sadness I will never forget

As a survivor of Katrina I can tell you that this movie doesn’t do the situation justice. Almost 20yrs later, I’ve never stepped foot back into the Superdome because of my ptsd from that week 😢😣

I was a part of a rescue team through the military in Katrina. We really didn't have much choice, at least my group was more "concerned" with stopping looting. I was given the order to go to a specific area to stop a looting in progress, drove past a family with little children on a roof. They had people boating right past them for at least a day. I ignored orders, brought them back to the rescue center and was reprimanded severely. I was told "THAT IS THE JOB OF "X", YOUR JOB IS TO DO "X"! ". So in short, don't trust the government. Katrina was just an example of how when one brick fails, the whole structure crumbles. I've heard stories of rescue teams raiding homes, robbing people and leaving them to essentially die, mutiny of local government departments.

I was only there for a short time, but what I saw really changed my perspective of the US government and how we pay for these "safety structures", but they don't have to follow through with their promises.

Holy shit this video has fucked me up in ways I never knew. My step dad was at memorial during Katrina. Both of my parents at the time were techs in the Radiology dept. my dad has gone on to receive higher degrees but still or acting in the city and my mom worked at west Jeff before Katrina, during and years after. She retired early due to my dad getting his MD but I believe this event has lasting traumatic impacts on her.



I was 17 at the time and me and my friends planned on riding out the storm just getting fucked up and whatever. Ignorance is bliss. At the very last moment the day before the storm hit they told me I needed to leave or go to West Jeff hospital where my mom was an employee and had also volunteered to stay and work during and after the storm or leave immediately with my bf and my bf’s parents.

Y’all I grew up in hospitals.after my parents divorced, I can’t tell you how many nights I was woken up in the middle of the night because my mom had gotten called out and I was too young to leave home alone. So obviously i told her deuces because I’ve already ridden a storm out at a hospital and it is not fun at all. I have regretted that decision each and every time I’ve ever thought of it.

Long story short we are all alive thankfully. But my dad has only ever told me one story and my mom has only told me one story and they are both so traumatic but short.
This fucking video has not only validated those story but also expanded them beyond what my parents have ever revealed to me and I’m literally on the floor in sobbing because my trauma was not knowing where my parents were for a few days but theirs was unspeakable.
Dad-“I literally watched people shoot each other dead over the rescue helicopters. And my truck got flooded damnit.”
Mom-“Well you know my boss and I had to break Marshall law to get to the east to rescue your dad and bring him back to relative safety but it’s ok because it was night time.” 😳

Hearing the things said in this recap fills in so many blanks that I thought it was a was just hyperbole or embellishment that I can now see and start to understand my parents trauma during this experience and not just my own.

Thank y’all for recapping this because otherwise I’d never see it. I don’t have cable or streaming just a YouTube account with no adds and that illy this came in to my algo. This video has confirmed so many stories I’ve heard over the years but also made me see my parents as just two humans that are parents but more importantly, dedicated healthcare professionals.

I remember as a kid hearing about this storm. I as a child had to explain to my parents that people didn’t stay in New Orleans because they were stubborn but because they had no were else to go and that this was a real life, real time scenario of rich people only caring for the rich people and leaving the poor to die.

[PWizz]

We’ll this got brushed under the rug, never heard of this before

[nunnaurbiznez]

There is a distinct apathy in society to help poor people, especially people of color, when disaster strikes. Katrina was so bad because the storm was intense but survivable until the levees started breaking. The lowest areas were also where the poor lived. They were cut off from rescue by water that flooded homes up to the attic space in some cases. The water couldn't drain because those neighborhoods are below sea level. There was little done even after the storm. So many people suffered and died. the real answer would have been to provide a way to get people out of harms way before the storm but the local governments rarely do that. RIP all the ost people of Katrina.💙

It's a thin line. The doctor's defense implies they were already dying, and just injected them to dull the pain. Meanwhile everyone else that was only looking on perceive it as intentionally poisoning the patients so there was less work to be done. To be fair, if they just wanted to take out everyone, it wouldn't have been hard. It's not like they could fight back. But at the end of the day, not every patient met the same fate. The fact that onlookers didn't try to stop it in the first place might mean that it wasn't being done maliciously. People were getting rescued days beforehand, surely they should've spoke up sooner to prevent a supposed homicide spree.

[mirandachristina]

God Bless that woman who wouldn't leave patients dying or not just sit and rot, left by all to die hopelessly. I couldn't make that decision for anyone. At least the patients were comfortable

[shab]

Also, many owners deserted/abandoned their nursing homes....many people died

26:23 This whole situation sucks, Anna being pursued by the justice system sucks. The situation was extremely grim. the hospital staff continually were left on the hook to deal with nightmare-level circumstances that honestly no one should ever have to deal with. No one should be charged at all. There are no perpetrators only victims here and everyone lost
theirs no way anyone who has to euthanize dying animals or people screaming in constant pain during what amounts to an apocalypse sleeps well at night. 30:35 exemplifies the hard choices they had to make perfectly. no right answers only quick judgment calls on which answer seems less bad.

I am from England so we are very lucky with our weather conditions. The sad part about this was the government knew Katrina was going to be bad, I can’t imagine how bad it was

[_star_reviews]

I was born at Charity Hospital and my sisters were born at University Hospital (the city zoo). 😂😂 I also looked to see if I saw myself in the crowd outside of the Superdome.

[buyingsummons]

This shows you the true nature of our Goverment!!!

[godspowerelo]

I really feel like they all tried their best 😢

Healthcare. Should. Not. Be. Privatized.

[dianaroach]

In an emergency, stay away from the government.
