Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen
On the 33rd day after Hurricane Katrina smashed through New Orleans, the FBI and local law enforcement gain a warrant to enter Memorial Hospital. The security are forced out of the building and told to stay out until they have finished their work. ..
Anna was caught on camera intentionally harming patients in the pharmacy. This evidence backs up the story of Anna as a careless and reckless doctor.
At the coroner’s, Frank confirms to Butcher and Virginia that they are unlikely to learn much with the bodies. They’ve decomposed a lot thanks to the heat and it’s doubtful they’ll learn much. The duo are encouraged to speak to Bryant King instead.
Dr. King brings up the number of deaths and how it doesn’t add up to what happened inside the hospital. He has a pretty damning assessment of Anna, and even makes his thoughts felt on TV afterwards too. ..
Anna is told by her doctor not to do surgery anymore because of the media storm. People in the community are talking about her and she doesn’t know how to respond.
The toxicology report comes back with the same drugs that Anna injected into those patients. In order to prosecute Anna, Virginia and Butcher, they will have to work with this. The defence will argue that the bodies are in a poor state so the only solution, according to Butcher, is to get more eyes on this.
Anna’s lawyer arrives at Memorial Hospital with her. It looks like we’re gearing up for a big court trial, especially as everything points toward Anna killing those patients.
Anna has been an eyewitness to a nurse from Lifecare confirming what Anna has done too. She agrees to testify in court.
Following the shocking confession of Anna Butcher, the Attorney General gives her the green light to arrest her. Virginia shows up at Anna’s apartment and after allowing her to change, takes her outside. ..
The Episode Review
The penultimate episode of “Five Days at Memorial” focused on Anna Pou and her part in injecting patients. Although she wasn’t the only one discussing this, her deciding to take the fall and taking responsibility for what happened is telling and unfortunately it looks like it’s going to blow up in her face. ..
This series has been an interesting and well-written deep-dive into the woes of memorial hospital and what happened to those 45 dead patients. With more than enough evidence to incriminate Anna, it would appear that this final episode is going to be a reckoning for this doctor but we’ll have to wait and see. ..
Although these later episodes haven’t quite had the same urgency and tension as those earlier chapters had, there’s enough here to like all the same. This has been a decent watch and everything is now geared up for a very dramatic finale to follow.
