It was really very interesting to hear the Baptist Hospital horror story told from a doctor's perspective. I also appreciated that Deichmann wrote it himself, however better editing would have been useful. There were quite a few grammar errors.

This is a first person account of what happened in a New Orlean's hospital after the levees broke. I could not put this book down. It should be read by everyone who works in a hospital and in emergency management to help them anticipate problems that might arise. It should also be read by those who were in impossible situations in New Orleans at that time.
