On the fourth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a major investigation reveals harrowing new details of one of the many human tragedies that occurred in the aftermath of the storm. Forty-five patients at the New Orleans Memorial Medical Center died in the days after Katrinaâs floodwater knocked out the power in the hospital. A 13,000-word article titled âThe Deadly Choices at Memorialâ tells the full story of what really happened to some of those patients. Itâs the cover story of the New York Times Sunday Magazine this weekend and the product of a two-and-a-half-year investigation. We speak with reporter Sheri Fink of ProPublica.
