Synopsis
The novel Paid to Heal - Injure, and Kill details the unfolding drama of several near simultaneous medical malpractice suits. When the central Texas town of Oakland flourishes with rapid growth, a large medical corporation builds a new hospital there. The ambitious administrator does everything possible to lure new physicians to help the facility generate profits. Ethics erode in this greed-driven environment as bonds of deceit are fostered through hunting and fishing trips, lavish dinner entertainments, and expensive hotel conferences, all sponsored by pharmaceutical companies or medical corporations. Meanwhile, many suffering patients and their families pay with bodily injury, emotional pain, and in some cases death. The young and vulnerable Allison Presley brings her baby boy to Dr. Williams, who performs an unnecessary surgical procedure on the child resulting in his death. At about the same time, thirty-five year old Dorothy Gonzales awakes to permanent blindness resulting from two incompetently performed pituitary surgeries at the hands of Dr. Nelson. As the two patients realize they have entrusted unworthy physicians, they seek the services of two attorneys from the same law firm. These men demand the powerful doctors and the supporting entities make appropriate monetary reparations.
