The smell of death was overpowering the moment a relief worker cracked open one of the hospital chapel’s wooden doors. Inside, more than a dozen bodies lay motionless on low cots and on the ground, shrouded in white sheets. Here, a wisp of gray hair peeked out. There, a knee was flung akimbo. A pallid hand reached

I read up on Anna Pou earlier. Looks like she works at OLOL in BR now.

As expected with any facility ran by the state, it was a poorly ran hospital. If the hospital required 4000 employees, other private hospitals could easily do the same amount of work with 60% as many.
The State couldn't wait to get the $450mil+ for Charity Hospital.

Ending one of the longest-running disputes left by Hurricane Katrina, a federal arbitration panel ruled Wednesday that Louisiana would receive $474.8 million — nearly all it had requested — to pay for the replacement of Charity Hospital in New Orleans, which has been closed since the storm.

The state argued that Charity met the federal standard for replacement because damages caused by the 2005 storm amounted to more than half its value. State officials estimated the replacement cost at $491.9 million.

Because restoring it would have required that the entirety of the HVAC system be entirely replaced, all fire systems brought up to current code, elevator and electrical, and then asbestos mediation during the process of it all.

I work in an older hospital in PHX.
They are building a brand new one in a few years because building a new one is actually MUCH cheaper than fully renovating the old one.

They need to do something with it though. Razing it seems like a painful thing to do with the history, but it's an eyesore.

Yes the documentary was accurate. I was at the first showing and Dr. McSwain came on stage to speak after the documentary. There would be no reason to not believe him. LSU Medical Center was hell bent on having a hospital of their own, and so it began. Now they don't even run the new hospital and can't fund staff to fill it up. Sickening.

How could it truly be 51% damaged other than for political reasons?

The city was in negotiations to make it City Hall

Different hospital and it really appears she did nothing wrong.
I know I wouldn't have wanted to be in her shoes.

I can buy that. Sometimes it's just less expensive to completely replace an old building. Newer buildings are more adaptable too - you can rip out drywall cheaply to reshape a space but ripping out plaster walls is much more expensive and time-consuming. Old and durable doesn't always mean better.

I can't even begin to imagine how much it would cost to take down that much concrete from that era.
That building is essentially a huge rock with some steel because rock on its own isn't strong enough and Huey knew a concrete guy AND a steel guy.
