Award winning medicolegal thriller prophesizing a physician's strike as the healthcare system, stressed and overloaded by swine flu, lawsuit abuse and corruption, teeters on the razor's edge of destruction. The American healthcare system is world class, yet failing. Failing to alleviate the suffering of the patient. Failing to free the physician to effectively render treatment. Skyrocketing insurance premiums and co-pays, HMO claim rejections and refusals to authorize treatment, crippling malpractice premiums and burgeoning red tape finally push Florida physicians to act. Dr. William Coltrane, president of the Bay Area Medical Society, embarks on a crusade to reform the system and forestall the ruin of his beloved profession. Organizing frustrated physicians into a powerful labor union, he battles on behalf of their patients against HMOs, insurance plans and government bureaucracy. Negotiations fail, and a citywide doctor's strike, civil litigation and federal anti-trust actions ensue.
