In less than two weeks four patients unexpectedly die from “superbugs” at the Pittsburgh University Medical Center. At first no one believes it is anything more than a terrible coincidence. But when Surgical Chief Resident Jack Merlin loses a nine-near-old girl to a deadly infection during a minor procedure, he turns the hospital upside down searching for an explanation. Hocus Corpus gives us an insider’s peek into the cutthroat world where what happens to the medical institution is more important than what happens to the people inside.
