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

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.

A Republican Gov't. Dead bodies were floating in the street.

[@Robin-i1f]

This is correct, but you forgot an important thing...there was one community that had help. This help was only not communicated to the public via cable television and KZbin. The reason is obvious. The media outlets aren't able to tell the truth, by letting the public believe that they watch the truth. This One group got help and can't be mentioned. If you know history, you will understand that this group ain't white. Book Reference: The Secret Powers Behind Revolutions by Leon de Poncins.///

[@theresaderse-nosacek5236]

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.

[@bbyphathoneei]

Yup, this is true. I can say one thing about living in LA that's actually good, every Monday and Wednesday recycling comes to pick up fallen branches from old trees to put as a natural barrier in the wetlands because we lose up to 5 inches of land a year.

[@thebiggamers999]

a lot of dutch waterstate engineers offered assistance in building a new water defense but we're decline because of high costs, the costs we a mere fraction of what the damages cost. they then instead built a cheaper water defense that was at the time 20 years outdated and not effective enough

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

[@taylornicole9750]

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 KZbin 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.

[@jamiestewart48]

You might regret the decision to not stay at the hospital with your mom, but you being out of there and safe gave her one less thing to worry about. My respect to your parents who sound like fantastic people.

[@shab3134]

You're right! I remember Hurricane Katrina, it was truly a catastrophe! Our government failed on so many levels to help save and provide relief!

[@jayward8237]

One of many horrible & tragic stories that happened that didn’t get a lot of coverage.

[@nunnaurbiznez8815]

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.💙

[@KokosNaSnehu2]

When such a disaster happens in an European city, everyone starts working together to get out of a bad situation. When disaster happens in american city with large population of black people, looting and rioting happens... Hard to not be apathetic towards such people.

[@mirandachristina3412]

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

[@Wheres_my_Dragonator]

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.

[@Kdrama_addict_archeoptreyx]

I completely agree with u...u told it crystal clear.. They shud hav triaged properly ..mayb they cud hav saved more ..but In such a situation not everything goes hand in hand.

[@abbieharris9841]

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.

[@Erik-j6r]

What about mattress Mack!!

[@nutzhazel]

Exactly. I said the same thing too to Americans living in their yearly tornado prone region who claimed that the tsunami victims in Thailand could actually avoid their deaths since it's a normal occurrence (which is not). People can be so judgemental just because of their racial supremacist complex.

[@JAM661]

​​@@nutzhazelThat may account for a few people but certainly not most. I live in FL and what happen is that you go though a few hurricane and nothing really happen, people can get very complaince. But the problem was not the hurricane but the levy breaking. If that did not happen this would have just been a mess. But I know people who were in trailer home and refused to go to a shelter or leave town hurricane come. They are like well when it is my time it will come. Then it comes and screaming for help. Just like all those people who did not believe in Covid. I do not need a mask or listen to doctor, then they get and the first thing they do is go to the ER. ?

[@stancedstyfon1234]

Yeah my experience in the super dome was wild from what I remember

[@nutzhazel]

@@JAM661 But it's not a sudden, most hurricanes have weeks long warning, evacuation should be easy, but I often see people preferred to "hunker down" instead while some are seeing having parties on the streets. God forbid if other countries do exactly that during the same catastrophe, they will be branded wholly as stupid by the same people who prefer to "hunker down", hence I attribute it to racial supremacist

[@TrunkyDunks]

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.

[@burtan2000]

We were raised with this idea that, as the defacto leader of the free world, as the richest most powerful nation in history, and the harbinger of enlightenment to the masses, that the government would find a way. And it did find a way so many times. It appeared that way, anyway. It was 9/11 that began shaking our faith. I always knew a that we'd probably be on our own. I've know than since I first watched films like Red Dawn at age 10. But I also felt like the most powerful organization in history (the American federal govt) could sit free he b❤ l ng it idk I'm stud ow 3:48 Wow I meant I'm drunk now at three forties

[@DC-cv9ch]

There were stories told of NOLA police supposed to be rescuing knocking on doors only to rob and rob/kill people inside. There were gangs doing the same thing. I'm talking about people killing people in apartments and in hotel rooms. A lot of evil happened.

[@bbyphathoneei]

So many people died more from neglect of the aftermath instead of the main storm, because they were left for dead with the promise of "we will be back for you". I lived in Baton Rouge at the time, and so many families were prevented to go back and get their loved ones who they hadn't heard from.

[@nutzhazel]

This is the main difference between American/Western society vs the others - when it comes to wars and natural disasters, other countries will immediately work together to overcome their hardship while the American/Western society will just resort to criminality and chaos. I remember reading the same thing when a big hurricane hit a town in Australia a few decades ago, the same chaos, looting and murder occurred, a stark contrast to when a big tsunami hit Japan or Indonesia, or when a storm flooded the Philippines or Bangladesh.

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.

[@FolloweroftheTrueKing]

Yes, but it was much worse than the movie 😢

[@yucol5661]

Yes and no. Most is fake. The insurance, security and pets plots were BS. Same as the investigation plot. Some few characters are based on real ones, the real Emmet (overweight patient) died. There was a court case, it was struck down and shown to be a very dumb idea by some attorney general who used be a sheriff and seemed to be playing politics at the time. Many people apologized afterwards and said the legal case should not have happened. To be fair he did seem to try to help elderly and nursing homes to sue for how they were ignored. But maybe he was reaching here. The backlash from this case cost him his thirty year continuous political career. The fact he refused to sue insurance companies like other states did probably does not help either. 45 bodies in the hospital in the end , 23 found to have morphine or other drugs in them, 5 died before the disaster. That’s 45 bodies out of the 215 found in health centers and nursing homes across the city. Others died during transport (lots of stairs, no AC, no supplies, you can imagine). The seventh floor was actually leased to a company that does acute care for severely ill patients, 7 of which were on ventilators. The doctor who was arrested did end up working to make laws on health workers and emergencies. The evacuations began on day three after the hurricane and later 5 days total. Thousands of people, food, water, electricity, sanitation and they were flooded. They entered triage (emergency mode, having to pick who to help first) but the specific of the triage are what the book the mini series is based on argues against. Basically the irregular thing is that the hospital did an odd triage, they prioritized patients who could move. At some point staff gave morphine euthanasia to patients they thought would not survive. Two nurses and a doctor were arrested and prosecuted years later for 9 deaths, two where given immunity for testifying and only one was actually charged, the jury refused to indict and thus attorney general messed up so badly that not only was the case taken of the record, not only they made the state pay all the legal fees, the successor of the attorney general who pushed the case apologized and said this case should have never happened. Sounds like the last attorney general was just playing politician and wanted a salacious case to get votes.

[@prettyevil6662000]

The attorney general agreed with you. He lost his whole political career over it and the jury refused to find the one man they charged guilty (two nurses were given immunity for testifying against him). The jury were people who lived through Katrina. They knew the heartbreaking situations everyone had been in during the storm. You'd have wimped out and jumped in the boat on day 3 just like the coward in the movie or you'd have left people to die alone in a suffocatingly hot and flooding building (the flooding including debri and fecal matter, not just water) since people were being forcibly removed and anyone who couldn't move was being left behind at the end whether the nurses wanted it or not. Many of the people they evacuated died en route as well since dehydration, heat and excessive movement for the sick and elderly obviously had negative effects on their already ailing health. The nurses were faced with leaving them to suffer all alone or sending them off in peace. It's not a decision anyone should have to make. You want someone in jail, it should be everyone in the government, insurance agencies and hospital boards who refused to make emergency plans prior to emergencies happening and kept passing the ball back and forth for who should take care of it, while real human beings were suffering and being pushed into having to make choices like this.

​@prettyevil6662000 Succinctly put. We're seeing this same refusal for responsibility in at-risk pregnant women. They should have evacuated as soon or before flooding. It never ceases to amaze me how people in power often refuse to plan for inevitably. Much of NOLA is below sea level (as someone previously commented), so flooding is not as 'if' but a 'when'.
