R.T. Lund
One of the story lines in THE GHOST is about a wealthy man with advanced kidney disease who manipulates his dialysis nurse (by dating her and ultimately proposing marriage) to get her adult son (who matches his rare blood type) to donate one of his kidneys. Once the rich guy has a successful transplant of the young man's kidney, he breaks off the engagement and abandons both the nurse and her son. Ultimately, she sues him but, unfortunately, never gets any satisfaction. A lawsuit with this fact situation was reported in Duluth, Minnesota. I incorporated some of the background and ideas in THE GHOST.
