Getting Doctored

"Move over Robin Cook! Robert Sherrier has taken the medical thriller to new heights! A brutal Mexican cartel, a dying drug mule, and a radiologist who finds himself hopelessly out of his depth. Doctored Images has all the punch of a Greg Iles mystery and a protagonist in Dr. Bo Richards who makes Kay Scarpetta look like she slept through med school." -- Michael McBride, author of Burial Ground and Snowblind "Murder, mayhem and torture collide at warp speed." - Gil Brogdon, M.D., Editor of Brogdon's Forensic Radiology. Dr. Bo Richards is having a very bad week. He gets fired from his residency job, he discovers that his girlfriend's death may not have been an accident, and now the Mexican mafia wants him dead.

There he meets Lisa Folletti, an off duty Boulder policewoman and the last person to see Cory alive. With her help and clues from the hit-and-run driver's CAT scan and Cory's autopsy X-rays, Bo suspects that Cory was murdered. During a final confrontation with the Mexican mafia leader in the MRI suite, Bo will learn the surprising truth.

In his acclaimed memoir Intern, Sandeep Jauhar chronicled the formative years of his residency at a prestigious New York City hospital. Doctored, his harrowing follow-up, observes the crisis of American medicine through the eyes of an attending cardiologist. Hoping for the stability he needs to start a family, Jauhar accepts a position at a massive teaching hospital on the outskirts of Queens. With a decade's worth of elite medical training behind him, he is eager to settle down and reap the rewards of countless sleepless nights. Instead, he is confronted with sobering truths. Doctors' morale is low and getting lower. Blatant cronyism determines patient referrals, corporate ties distort medical decisions, and unnecessary tests are routinely performed in order to generate income. Meanwhile, a single patient in Jauhar's hospital might see fifteen specialists in one stay and still fail to receive a full picture of his actual condition. Provoked by his unsettling experiences, Jauhar has written an introspective memoir that is also an impassioned plea for reform. With American medicine at a crossroads, Doctored is the important work of a writer unafraid to challenge the establishment and incite controversy.
