The Blood of Strangers
Author: Frank Huyler
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520262514
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Reminiscent of Chekhov's stories, The Blood of Strangers is a visceral portrayal of a physician's encounters with the highly charged world of an emergency room. In this collection of spare and elegant stories, Dr. Frank Huyler reveals a side of medicine where small moments—the intricacy of suturing a facial wound, the bath a patient receives from her husband and daughter—interweave with the lives and deaths of the desperately sick and injured. The author presents an array of fascinating characters, both patients and doctors—a neurosurgeon who practices witchcraft, a trauma surgeon who unexpectedly commits suicide, a wounded murderer, a man chased across the New Mexico desert by a heat-seeking missile. At times surreal, at times lyrical, at times brutal and terrifying, The Blood of Strangers is a literary work that emerges from one of the most dramatic specialties of modern medicine. This deeply affecting first book has been described by one early reader as "the best doctor collection I have seen since William Carlos Williams's The Doctor Stories."

Author: Lee Butcher
Publisher: Pinnacle Books
ISBN: 0786030461
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
I didn't kill them for any satisfaction. It was distasteful. It was dreadful. Of course, I was able to do it because of my general rage against society. Meredith Emerson was a recent college graduate who disappeared while taking her beloved dog, Ella, for a hike on Georgia's Blood Mountain on New Year's Day, 2008. Cheryl Dunlap was a nurse whose body was found in Florida's Apalachicola National Forest after she failed to show up to teach her regular Sunday School class in December 2007. Vibrant, beautiful, caring women, loved by their friends and families, with everything to live for. . .until they fell into the trap of Gary Michael Hilton, a former Green Beret paratrooper and expert outdoorsman with a twisted lust for violence. What they suffered at his hands was unspeakable. Even after two convictions, the question remains--how many innocent victims were prey to his evil designs? Includes killer's shocking confession and 16 pages of dramatic photos. Case seen on 48 Hours "Chilling true crime by a master storyteller." --Don Lasseter

A Stranger in Blood
Author: Pamela Cullen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781904027195
Category : Murder
Languages : en
Pages : 687
Book Description
In 1957, Dr Bodkin Adams was accused of murder. This is an eerily familiar story; a charmer, using drugs to control patients, maintaining poor records and causing concern amongst fellow professionals. Yet, for over twenty years, he avoided any police investigation mainly because of the popular disbelief that a doctor could be a serial killer. The police had a strong case against Bodkin Adams. Many of his patient's deaths followed a similar pattern: the deceased was generally an elderly woman of means in Dr Adams' private practice; he was often the last person to see the deceased alive and visited several times on the day they died. Frequently mentioned in his patient's wills he was bequeathed two Rolls Royces his behaviour made the local legal community concerned. Eventually only one local solicitor would work with the Doctor in the drawing up of patient's wills. However, in spite of the welter of evidence, the case against Adams failed at trial. Following close on Dame Janet Smith's Shipman Inquiry report, Pamela Cullen's book is chilling and timely. The author has had unique access to police files on the case here made available for the first time and ultimately she questions whether any system for monitoring the behaviour of doctors can protect patients from a cunning, motivated, rogue doctor with a taste for murder.
