Unmanaged Care - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Unmanaged Care combines heart-pounding medical realism with compelling characters embroiled in personal and professional conflict. But, in addition to the one-on-one battles to save lives, the contest in Unmanaged Care also involves the struggle between doctors and an insurance company for control of a major medical center. A mistake by a doctor can cost a life, but mistakes by health care managers threaten the lives of thousands. Unmanaged Care is as current as today’s headlines. Set in the exotic high Sonoran desert, the beautiful and talented Dr. Norie Crawford fights desperately to prevent her brother JJ from destroying the legacy of the Sonora Medical Center founded by their grandfather. JJ, the newly appointed Administrator of SMC, teams up with bankers and insurance companies to wrest control of SMC from physicians and remake it into business they can use for their own gain. As JJ and his confederates implement their plans, lives are lost and many more are placed in jeopardy. In desperation, Norie is forced to lead her fellow doctors in a strike. When their father, James Crawford, becomes seriously ill, Norie must take extreme measures to save his life. Eluding hospital security, which is under orders to keep her out of SMC, Norie attempts to rescue her father from what is certain to be a fatal surgery conducted by her spiteful and incompetent physician ex-husband. Events reach their climax in an armed confrontation between JJ and Norie with their father's life hanging in the balance!
