There is an excellent chance this book will save your life. You will see doctors, the practice of medicine, and community hospitals as you have never seen them before. You will learn about things you never could have believed existed before. For what is written in this book has never been told before in its entirety, anywhere and by anyone. Doctors with respectable credentials and good reputations are harming, maiming, and yes, murdering their patients. They are doing it with the support and blessings of the hospitals at which they work. And they are doing it with only their interests, not their patients' welfare in mind. The reason? In one word: MONEY. Dealing with a different incident of physician caused abuse, each chapter will contain an anecdotal story based on true events that happened to real patients at the hands of real doctors. Though in certain instances the patient's actual first name will be used, at all times the physician perpetrator's anonymity will be maintained. There should be nothing more important to you than your life and the lives of your loved ones. You must not let these DEATH HOUSE physicians who MURDER FOR MONEY take from you that which is most precious.
Roy Lawrence, a young African-American physician, is on trial at his hospital for practicing bad medicine. During the trial, Roy's accuser, chief of staff Donald Horsmann, is violently killed after leaving his mistress' apartment. As the only suspect, Roy is immediately arrested and put on trial, where a vicious prosecutor and the judge want nothing more than to see him fry. Barry Goodman, a Boston attorney and Roy's former Harvard roommate, takes up Roy's cause and tries to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, Courtney Williams, the daughter of a patient killed during surgery by Horsmann, has reason to believe her brother, Jamal, was the hired killer. Together Courtney and Barry attempt to discover the identity of the mastermind. Unfortunately the trap they set goes awry and leaves Courtney nearly fatally wounded in the hospiutal ICU. Courtney is the only one who can clear Roy, yet she is unconscious and unguarded in the ICU, at the mercy of the real killer while Roy is trapped in prison.
What if biological transmitting devices that were able to be implanted into human beings, thus allowing others to listen in on their private conversations, became a reality? How could these devices be unknowingly inserted into their living hosts, and what evil machinations could result in yet one more example of man's inhumanity to his fellow man? Such is the premise for SKIN DEEP, where doctor is pitted against doctor, and a beautiful scientist, vying for her lover's affection, is willing to destroy anyone who gets in her way. Enmeshed between the medical malpractice trial of the century, a major epidemic threatening to wipe out the world's population, and a scheme to reap billions of dollars in profit, the novel winds its way from courtroom to bedroom in an ever enlarging circle of greed, corruption, and death. Will humankind be changed forever? The answer lies merely skin deep.

Blaine Rutledge, director of the Mercy Family Planning Center, has a secret. In the basement, his mistress Marie Constantine, involved in a secret love affair of her own, is performing in vitro fertilizations on young women kidnapped from their homes by a person referred to as the "medical student." Sara Dupont, a beautiful, young obstetrics resident inadvertently discovers the scheme while searching for a new admission's old records. Meanwhile, a local preacher, Boyd Preston, and his son Prescott lead around-the-clock anti-abortion protests against the center. Suspecting foul play when Prescott goes missing, even an injunction obtained by Rutledge through dubious means will not keep the right reverend away.

Leading to a captivating and page turning climax, these kidnappings, protests, affairs and killings, both attempted and successful, should have but one conclusion.

The death penalty has largely disappeared as a national legislative issue and the Supreme Court has mainly bowed out, leaving the states at the cutting edge of abolition politics. This essential guide presents and explains the changing political and cultural challenges to capital punishment at the state level. As with their previous volume, America Without the Death Penalty (Northeastern, 2002), the authors of this completely new volume concentrate on the local and regional relationships between death penalty abolition and numerous empirical factors, such as economic conditions; public sentiment; the roles of social, political, and economic elites; the mass media; and population diversity. They highlight the recent abolition of the practice in New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Illinois; the near misses in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maryland, and Nebraska; the Kansas rollercoaster rides; and the surprising recent decline of the death penalty even in the deep South. Abolition of the death penalty in the United States is a piecemeal process, with one state after another peeling off from the pack until none is left and the tragic institution finally is no more. This book tells you how, and why, that will likely happen.

It seeks to answer the basic question of which states are leading the way in responding to this need and why.
