Code 15
FIRST, DO NO HARM.
As the Chief of Emergency Medicine at Dade Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Morgan Connolly faces death and suffering on a daily basis. So when two brothers in her care die suddenly as a result of rapidly advanced cases of meningitis, she is saddened but knows she has to let it go . . .
THEN, TRY TO SURVIVE.
Not long after, Morgan’s own father is killed in what seems to be a random attack. Then, the number of patients dying due to seemingly preventable medical errors—also known as a Code 15—begins rising throughout the hospital, including the ER. And Morgan’s own superiors think she is losing her edge. But she suspects that someone is cutting a deadly path of vengeance through Dade Presbyterian—a path that may end with Morgan facing her own demise at the hands of a madman . . .

Before I first set pen to paper as a novelist some twenty years ago, I was a fulltime pediatric surgeon. I completed eight years of surgical training at the Ohio State University and remain an ardent fan. The question I’m asked most often is; how did you find the time to write novels and attend to a busy pediatric surgical practice at the same time? The simple answer is when you spend every waking hour pursuing your life’s passions, you can always find time. But I will admit that having more time now is a luxury that I enthusiastically embrace. It affords me the opportunity to devote more time to writing, and to get more involved with my readers.
