Against Long Odds is a story about the mystery of cancer, the unique relationship of doctors to their patients and patients to their physicians, the amazing complexity of biological systems and ultimately the surrender to all the unknowns. The laboratory discovery and isolation of a mutant gene that increases the chance of survival in patients with ovarian cancer leads a patient to travel to a major medical center to see the doctor who synthesized the antibody to the gene and demonstrated its role in the treatment of the disease. His interactions with his colleagues and the patient reveal a depth of purpose, sensitivity and humility in the face of unanswered questions. The patient is a young, married mother with most of her life ahead of her who deals with this misfortune in what the doctor considers a uniquely heroic way. She demonstrates a sense of self and her place in the world in some ways unfamiliar to the doctor. At the outset, they independently settle on a metaphor for the end of their journey. The reader only understands all of this at the end of the story. SUGGESTION! Save the last page for last!

Bleeding Time

A Six Sigma Story

By: Colin Wright, M.D.

‘Bleeding Time’ is a novel about the tension in an operating room, the terror of a post operative hemorrhage, the anxiety of responsibility, the frustration of failure to convince anyone that someone is intent on killing patients. When following surgery one of his patients almost bleeds to death, the surgeon begins to believe someone is attempting to kill his patients. Determined to prove this is happening, uncovering how, why and who, he is dismayed by the unwillingness of his colleagues to consider the evidence that supports his suspicions. He becomes convinced there is a conspiracy among senior members of the medical staff and administration to cover it up. He believes the medical center is contaminated by many with corrupt secret agendas. Stressed by these events, his relationship with his wife approaches the breaking point. She believes his obsession is driven by the desire to prove he hadn’t done anything wrong in the operating room. She worries the compulsive traits fundamental to his success will lead to his downfall as the rift between them widens. An investigation by the executive committee of the medical board ends with persistent doubts. A cascade of events leads to his having to accept that there will be no resolution for him. The reader will likely come to different conclusion.

A Mosaic Baby

A Six Sigma Story

By: Colin Wright, M.D.

A baby is born to Chinese American overachievers. A significant diagnosis is missed by her obstetrician and the baby’s pediatrician both of whom practice at a prestigious academic medical center. The parents recognize the child is not developing normally. She is taken to be evaluated by a world renown pediatric neurologist. He makes the diagnosis. The baby is found to be a mosaic. The failure to have made the diagnosis leads to concerns of likely lawsuits for medical malpractice. The defensive maneuvering to control potential loses is explored and the political environment at a major academic medical center is revealed. There is the opportunity to gain insight into the personalities and motivations of many who have supporting roles in the story. The relationship between the doctor and the baby’s parents is based on a symmetric genuine deep affection. The serial observation of the baby leads to a startling finding. The search for a rational explanation of what is found leaves everyone, including the reader, with alternatives for the baby’s future.

The landmark pediatrics reference – completely reinvented by an all new team of editors Rudolph's Pediatrics has virtually defined the pediatric field for over a century, becoming one of the most important and well-respected pediatrics texts ever published.

The Twenty-Third Edition of Rudolph's has been completely restructured and streamlined thanks to an all new team of editors whose goal was to reinvent this classic with today’s busy practitioner in mind. Presented in full color, the Twenty-Third Edition provides an up-to-date, in-depth survey of pediatric medicine unmatched by any other text.
