Chapter Break with Scott Eveloff, MD

BIO:Scott Eveloff MD is a pulmonary physician with thirty years’ experience of treating seriously ill patients. He has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, ABC’s 20/20, and Inside Edition. His insider’s knowledge of the many ways to harm patients in today’s hospitals as there are to heal them prompted this debut novel.Dr. Eveloff is an exercise fanatic, but loves evenings out on the deck with a good whiskey as well. He loves to travel but hates cruises, and can often be found attending concerts of his favorite (aging) musicians. He is enjoying retirement with his supportive physician wife. Spending time resuscitating plot lines instead of patients, he remains motivated by the comforting recollections of an uplifting childhood and by his late son Andrew, whose boundless enthusiasm lives forever like the characters he inspired.SYNOPSIS:Overworked intern DR. HARRY LINDMARK is suspected of a nefarious role when a young patient under his care dies unexpectedly, grotesquely. Visions of long-dead patients plague him, led by the specter of SYLVESTER MORROW, a brilliant but soulless physician who had died in that same hospital from a terrible medical mistake. Harry confronts an inconceivable reality –forces from beyond death are exacting revenge on the living. He eventually uncovers the real reason behind the unholy turmoil. The dead don’t mean to kill the living – they mean to escape the afterlife limbo they have been thrust into. Disguised as tragic medical errors, each Code Blue is an attempt to reclaim life by stealing into patients at the moment of death, when a body lies vulnerable after its soul departs. The most evil of the dead, Dr. Morrow, gives an ultimatum after Harry foils previous attempts on his patients:  Harry will provide his own body for Morrow’s escape from eternity, or more patients and everyone Harry cares about will die. Harry resolves to sacrifice himself, with hidden purpose.LINKS:
