Synopsis

A father searches for the truth behind son's near-death. Who's fault? His true life experience helps us learn about medical-legal establishments when things go wrong in treatment of someone we love.

Medical Malady begins with a simple question, "What happened to Bobby?" Readers soon face the real question: "What happened to the medical system, one of the most advanced in the world, in dealing with preventable medical mistakes?"

Moving from Montreal to Calgary to Thunder Bay, the story unfolds as the narrator, Bobby's father, investigates the actions of several doctors who erred in the treatment of his son, resulting in damage to his brain and his nervous system. With courage and endurance, they pursue those members of the medical profession through legal channels to get restitution for the harm Bobby, a medical doctor himself, endured. News reports during the past few years have had stories of other medical mistakes, but this book is a frightening close up of just how fallible medical practitioners can be, despite the trust and faith we are taught to have in them.

The narrative would benefit both young and old; rich or poor. People are busy in their daily lives making ends meet. In spare time, they connect with others in social, cultural or religious gatherings, often forgetting that they are a small part of a large dynamic multidimensional society, and that they are mortal. To exist, they need to read and understand the system, especially the medical system.

It is better to be prepared. In fact it is better to learn from someone else's experience than your own. Medical Malady is a must read before you or your loved ones become seriously ill, worse, become a victim of preventable medical mistakes. You will find why it took an engineer to write this book, not a doctor or a lawyer.

It is a book for families worldwide. People work hard, raise children and look to the future. That future can be taken away in an instant by a preventable medical mistake. It happens more often than you think; visit: medicalmaladies.com.
