The series is based on real investigations into alleged patient euthanasia during Hurricane Katrina charges that shocked the nation, yet were never proven making the show’s moral questions disturbingly real and still debated today.
The series chronicles the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina at Memorial Medical Center, where staff and patients are stranded without electricity, working elevators, or adequate supplies. As temperatures soar and evacuation is repeatedly delayed, doctors and nurses struggle to care for the sickest patients, including those in intensive care. The narrative alternates between the immediate crisis and later investigations into the controversial medical decisions made during those five days. Centered around Dr. Anna Pou, the show examines ethical dilemmas, institutional failures, and the fine line between mercy and misconduct. Five Days at Memorial goes beyond survival drama, offering a deeply unsettling look at how disaster exposes cracks in healthcare systems and forces ordinary people into extraordinary moral conflict.
