My primary career was an academic physician in the Department of Veteran Affairs and at several medical schools in the South and Mid-Atlantic. I published several papers and books during that time. I left VA in 2000 for the Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences as professor of public health and retired from practice and teaching in 2012.
Since retirement, I have written six novels on medical murder topics. Each is set in a fictional hospital and portrays common personnel and management issues that affect health care quality with attention given to a method to address those issues and improve quality of care - in addition to solving the murder.
