About The Book
I was not even out of medical school before I witnessed my first doctor commit murder. It would not be my last - Lord, no - but I can recall that night as vividly as though it happened last week.
Few medics forget their first physician homicide.

We might want to pay close attention to what this gentleman has to say." - Dr. Max Harry Weil, Founder, Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine
