Sheri Fink, PhD, MD
Ethical Decision-Making During a Disaster
For 5 days after Hurricane Katrina, thousands were
trapped without power at Memorial Medical Center
in New Orleans. Bestselling author and Pulitzer
Prize winner Sheri Fink, PhD, MD, will describe the
agonizing events that unfolded, and examine the
profound legal and ethical issues the medical
staff faced as they de-prioritized and ultimately
hastened the deaths of many critically ill patients
before the hospital could be evacuated. Register
now at orexcellence.com to see Sheri Fink and
our other great speakers, Oct. 12-14 at the Hyatt
Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs, Fla.
