My mom worked here when a teenager. I would meet her most days after McMain. There was some old rail tracks id walk while one the phone with friends. The streetcar ran not to far from where this is. I was 15 then and im 29 now. You guys do great work!
Both of my grandparents died in this hospital, several years apart, when it was still Mercy Hospital. It’s amazing that this place still stands, largely untouched since Katrina. One thing though. I had always heard, and a quick search of news articles, that the patient euthanizations after the hurricane took place at Memorial Hospital in Uptown New Orleans.
Amazing, and I’m surprised as well, Mid City property is prime real-estate right now. Yes, Memorial was actually the sister hospital to Lindy Boggs, both owned by Tenant healthcare at the time of Katrina. I always sort of felt like the Memorial mercy killings and big Charity sort of over shadowed this hospital, so I decided to make the vid.
The Safe Squad oddly, Memorial (now Ochsner Baptist) is still operating. Prior to Katrina, Tenet Health was my biggest client. Lost a huge account when they withdrew from New Orleans.
504RoadTrips last time I was down there, a buddy of mine had talked to someone in Tulane and they said something about “the old Baptist Hospital with everything still left in it.” Yet all I find when looking up those names are the old Mercy-Baptist (Lindy Boggs) and then old Memorial. Any idea what he’s talking about?
Oddly enough, I’ve never heard this story. Thank you
Very well researched, narrated & over all presentation. THANK YOU!!! 👍👌🤓
