Brain Chicane

by Alan Maisel

Stanley Ruben is a young and idealistic physician working at the premier organ transplant hospital in Chicago. Motivated by his compassion for the disenfranchised, Dr. Ruben investigates overdose cases that are not totally kosher. Through twists, turns, trickery and deceit appearing at all levels of the hospital's seemingly humanitarian bureaucracy, Dr. Ruben uncovers a wicked plot designed to inflate the careers, wallets and egos of a few surgeons and administrators who have no regard for life, the ethics of medicine or the trust placed in the medical community by its patients.
