Synopsis

A mysterious illness is about to splinter an unsuspecting family ... an exposé jam-packed with love, lust, debauchery and greed unfolds when disease collides with healthcare profiteers and physician indifference in Conversations for Paco. Inspired by a true account, Conversations for Paco juxtaposes the venerable institutions of medicine against the personal anguish of enigmatic disease as PACO and SARITA SÁNCHEZ battle Paco's mysterious illness and JUSTIN SUTHERLAND surmounts the unanticipated challenges of medical education. Two parts social criticism, one part medical suspense, it spins a thought provoking, yet spellbinding tale. What happens in the end will haunt you forever and force you to ask, "Can this really be?" Unfortunately, the painful truth is ... "Yes."

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Is it any surprise that the drama played out through the lives of Sarita and Paco Sánchez resonates to some degree, and on some level, with each and every one of us? Is it any wonder we shake our heads and ask: "What went wrong with healthcare in America and how can this be?" Or do we question: "Has healthcare in the U.S. lost its ethical compass?"

Review:

"Conversations for Paco is clearly inspired, written in a credible voice and heartbreaking. Its scope and objectives are big and socially relevant like A Civil Action" ~ Jessica Roberts
