I did Search and Rescue(/Recovery) in the aftermath of Katrina; and without even seeing it, I can tell you that the show didn’t come close to capturing the sheer horror of NOLA in the aftermath of the storm.
I read Fink’s book a couple of years ago, and it was heartbreaking. I absolutely cannot imagine having to face the choices those doctors and nurses — people who swore an oath to “first do no harm” — were forced to make.
I couldn’t watch it. I evacuated from NOLA the day before Katrina hit. The aftermath was the worst few months of my life. I’ve had PTSD symptoms all week seeing the news of Milton.
I went on a mission trip sponsored by my church to help rebuild some homes damaged by Katrina. We were in Ocean Springs, MS. I couldn’t believe what I witnessed. It was absolutely heartbreaking.💔 people were grieving the losses of loved ones, homes, and complete neighborhoods. It was pure devastation.

I watched it and it was every bit as horrifying as you described.

I read the book - like you said, definitely unforgettable.
That show is absolutely devastating.
A few years ago I watched a documentary about polar bears struggling to survive while losing their habitat to climate change. It was heartbreaking.
You made it further than I did. Turned it off after about 20 minutes. Decided I just didn’t need it.
