I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
Dr. Mike Carlucci and Dr. Doug Landry are both
anesthesiologists who work for Keystone Anesthesia who provides services for
Mercy Hospital. Through their work affiliation, they became best friends.
Something mysterious started happening to the patients undergoing surgery, the
exact cause was unknown until that particular mystery was solved. They were
then faced with another mystery – the who behind the happenings. Keystone
Anesthesia also employed Dr. Bryan Marshall who was the chief of the department
along with Dr. Joe Raskin who was what you would call second-in-command, though
he wanted Dr. Marshall’s position. Enter, Rusty Cranmer, an anesthesiology
student, who was out to figure out what happened to his mother.
There are quite a few stories going on in this book. The
marriages of both Dr. Carlucci and Dr. Landry, both having their share of
difficulties as is true in any marriage. You have the power struggle between
Dr. Marshall and Dr. Raskin which causes an underlying tension. There is the
friendship between Dr. Carlucci and Dr. Landry, so Dr. Landry was especially
concerned when he started noticing some changes in Dr. Carlucci who claimed he
had things under control. Then, there is the interesting character of Rusty,
the young student, who was eager to learn about his chosen profession as well
as what happened to his mother.
Dr. Benedict’s work as an anesthesiologist gives him an
inside look as to what sorts of pressure an anesthesiologist must feel when he
is inducing a patient and waking the patient back up again. His knowledge of
the medical field helps him to create scenarios that could very likely occur,
though I hope not!!
