What happens when a diligent, hardworking anesthesiologist, with high ethical standards,?develops a dependency on opioids? Doesn't happen! Unthinkable! Or is it??
Sometimes it takes the gift of the storyteller to take us beyond our preconceptions, shine a light in the dark corners, and expose just how precariously life can hang in the balance.
Steven Orebaugh is one such storyteller. He also happens to be an Anesthesiologist! He writes from the authenticity of experience, setting this gripping story against the backdrop of a busy university hospital and tackling a tough subject with humanity and compassion. If you are an anesthesiologist and you only read one novel this year - make it this one!
