A Surgeon's Ordeal

Million-selling author Craig Martelle partners with world-renowned surgeon James Toouli to spin a tale of intrigue and danger, of rapid-fire decisions and actions.

Patients like shortcuts to health, and on occasion, doctors do, too. Sometimes, those decisions wind a dangerous path. Pancreatitis isn’t usually deadly unless a rogue surgeon conducts experimental surgery without supporting research. He’s making it up as he goes. That’s dangerous for the patients. It’s indefensible for the hospital.

Why is it happening? Charismatic spin and moderate success. Dr. Chip McClure has been researching causes of endemic pancreatitis and has offered numerous papers on the subject. He is an expert.

When presented with the results of Dr. Liam Warren’s operations, Chip is appalled and confronts his fellow surgeon. Nothing goes right after that. Chip’s world is thrown into disarray while he fights for his professional existence, all the while, patients in his practice need his help. Chip and his team stand ready to do what’s right, no matter the cost.
