Eye opening

This book is what the author calls "the inside story of the largest corporately funded rescue in American history." If anyone tells you Corporate America doesn't care for its employees or customers, refer them to Carey's inspiring tale of how the staff of Tulane Medical Center and their corporate partner, HCA, were able to do what FEMA, the State of Louisiana, and the city of New Orleans could not - save 178 patients and over 1,000 workers and their dependants from the flooded city. It's no wonder that of all the medical faculties damaged in the storm, Tulane's was the first to reopen.
