A Surgeon's Heart: The Crisis

A Surgeon's Heart: The Crisis is the third novel in this series which tells the story of the systematic destruction of the American health care system. For those who are called to the medical profession and have dedicated their lives to the Oath of Hippocrates, what has been happening, and continues to happen, is a tragedy of epic proportions. This is a story that is not being told by the talking heads and political pundits who attempt to "enlighten" everyone regarding what health care is, and why we needs someone else to be responsible for ensuring it. For such a story to have a lasting impact the the reader must relate to the characters on an emotional level. Jack Roberts, a pediatric heart surgeon, is just such a character. While he is fictional, Jack is just like many physicians we have known to be grounded in principle and traditional medical ethics. In this story he is surrounded by those who strive to change him into something much different. His heart is dedicated to those whom he serves, not the growing forces of corporate greed and government controls, but his resolve is tested by a personal crisis. While this story is about health care, it is more about the people who provide life-changing services to those in desperate need. It's about individuals engaged in the most intimate of relationships surrounding all different matters of the heart. In this case, it's the tale of A Surgeon's Heart.
