Charity Hospital In New Orleans After Katrina
Posted on 9/10/17 at 5:02 pm

I'm watching a documentary on Charity Hospital after Katrina. They show it as if everyone who worked at Charity got fricked and there was no reason to close down the hospital. They show it as being spotless and ready for use just a couple of weeks after the storm before being told to leave and never return.
As someone who was too young to really know what was going on at the time, is this portrayal accurate? Did LSU basically ensure the hospital was closed so they could bail? Was it as scandalous as they make it seem?

Healthcare in Louisiana was getting left behind bigly before Katrina because LSU/State were having to compete with brand new, state of the art facilities while having what was literally a relic in Charity. Katrina just presented the golden opportunity for LSU and Louisiana to get the state of the art facility they had been wanting.

Katrina was the best thing to happen to Charity.. It was an antiquated behemoth...

No it wasn't. Not the best but you could get quality care there.

I just assume Charity was very outdated and in need of renovation.
Posted on 9/10/17 at 5:12 pm to TigersSEC2010
People were dying in there.

The facility was a shithole

This is what it appears went down. They needed an excuse out of it and Katrina was perfect. I'd be pissed if I was one of the poor soldiers assigned to clean that bitch then it was closed immediately after and never used again.

Just from watching the trailer it seems a little tin foil hattish.
Even if it was some grand conspiracy, demolishing crappy neighborhoods full of culcha to build a shiny new medical district is the best thing to happen in that city in a very long time.

FEMA declared it more than 51% damaged, thus the reason they were able to use that money across the street.

LSU made a tough decision, I'd say it has worked out with UMC.

I could be wrong, but it looks like really only the basement was damaged from the storm. How could it truly be 51% damaged other than for political reasons?
