Lance Turner's successful record of accomplishment as a donor coordinator for the Ohio Organ Bank is suddenly jeopardized when six of seven transplant patients simultaneously become ill within a month of receiving organs from a young, seemingly healthy, deceased donor. The series of lawsuits generated from these cases, spearheaded by William Hackett's notorious medical malpractice firm, pose a threat not only to Lance's career but also to public trust in the organ donation system and to the lives of thousands of patients awaiting organ transplants.

My wife, Lynne, died from complications of severe dementia at the age of sixty-four. She was very ill for the last year of her life but suffered from memory loss, weight loss, and frequent falls for more than fours years prior to her death. In this memoir, I tell the story of her malady and try to capture the impact of her illness and death on my children, other family members, and friends. It is a sad story, but I hope it provides solace to others who have interacted with or cared for loved ones with dementia.

A rising star in academic medicine, Dr. Larry Horvath had a master plan for becoming a rich and famous doctor. His aspirations to become a leader of Cleveland’s medical community are stymied when, while recovering from back surgery, he discovers that he will need another operation – this time, heart surgery to repair an old, leaky artificial valve. Larry's insights as a patient add to his increasing concerns about the negative effects of looming health care reform on American medicine. More importantly, he feels obliged to seek advice from his childhood friend and rival, Johnny Pavelko, now a cardiologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, renowned for his expertise in valvular heart disease. Johnny seems more interested in the business of medicine than in Larry’s health. Would Johnny recommend unnecessary heart surgery for his old friend in order to usurp Larry’s master plan for success? Should Larry proceed with the controversial surgery or run the risk of dying without it? Should he retire early and escape the consequences of health care reform? His decisions will dramatically influence his own career but also the entire infrastructure of Cleveland’s prestigious medical community.
