1. The challenges she must have faced is for starters talking to that many people and deciding what to put in the book and how to construct it in such a way to tell others stories without inserting her own opinions and judgement. To bring something so tragic to life to allow readers to truly feel what these healthcare workers were going through and the patients at this hospital. It was also probably challenging getting people to discuss this in detail given the fact that more than likely the interviewee was suffering from PTSD and struggles to talk about what happened.
2.The questions I had after reading the prologue and why werent they more prepared especially in 2005 there was no help or support from government officials or the head of the hospital people were dying and access to keep them as comfortable as possible were no longer there thus having to “prematurely end lives” I cannot say I would do anything different if I were faced with this no one can say for sure what they would do it seems as if they had little to work with and no formal training these drs couldve abandoned ship so to speak but they tried their best to work with little to no resources or support they had.
3. The exempt from mandatory evacuation were the really sick people who were able to shelter in the superdome to receive any necessary medical care, hotel workers so they could accommodate the stranded tourists who couldnt escape, criminal sheriff workers and of course hospital workers
