Drs. David Ross and Tasman Churchill, Atlanta’s most sought-after cardiac surgeons
garner the esteem and gratitude of a powerful politician by successfully performing
his complex redo surgery. As their practice expands, they become the target of those
who want to profit from the doctor’s success.
A shady ex-executive from Big Insurance, Eric Callahan seeks to control a multi-state
empire of all specialist physicians delivering cardiac care. After he gobbles up
cardiology practices, he turns his covetous attention to the Ross-Churchill surgical
group. Conflict ensues as Callahan’s attempts to capture surgical fees are
repeatedly rebuffed. He embarks on a concerted campaign to drive Ross out of
business.
Meanwhile, a covert international deal goes seriously awry when contaminated and
foreign counterfeit coronary artery stents are unknowingly implanted in patients with
fatal results.
In a medical drama about corruption, money, and power at the expense of patient’s
lives, Churchill and Ross’s practice enters a death spiral and the practice
disintegrates.
Litigation against the entrenched full power of the trillion-dollar medical industrial
complex ensnares politicians and the FBI ensuring that somewhere, somehow, the
piper will be paid.
The business dispute becomes a life-and-death scenario where not everyone will
make it out alive. This high-stakes tale of intrigue, medical malpractice, and murder
weaving between the operating room and the courtroom promises to keep readers
on the edge of their seats.
****READER REVIEWS****
5 stars! Cardiac Arrests will make you pause to consider the business and legal aspects of medicine as McDonald craftily engages the reader with authentic characters who captivate you with their unpredictable behaviors. This easy-reading novel has a poignant message that most patients do not consider as they entrust their lives to physicians and health systems. The caution McDonald makes to patients is pertinent- ensure your care is genuinely necessary, outcome-directed, and compassionate. We need more prose that reminds us to be focused and diligent about our health care. McDonald masterfully accomplishes this in Cardiac Arrests! – Kevin E. Behrns, M. D., previous editor of Journal of Surgery
Top Notch Read! “ In CARDIAC ARRESTS surgeon Garth Mc Donald takes readers into a hospital OR to experience the wonders of open-heart surgery. He also takes us into the back offices of doctors and hospitals to glimpse the machinations of the business of medicine. While the story he tells is both fascinating and compelling, he provides insight into the occasionally appallingly corrupt corporatization of American Medicine.” – Timothy Gardner MD, Former Chief of Cardiac Surgery University of Pennsylvania, and Past President of The American Association for Thoracic Surgeons
AMAZING! “An excellent, informative, realistic and gripping read written by a gifted and renowned heart surgeon whose clinical acumen and high ethical standards and behavior shine through.” – John J. Hynes, Esq. Retired Hospital & Hospital System CEO and Hospital Corporate and Medical Malpractice Attorney
