Donovan's Paradigm

Full Description | Read an Excerpt | Read Reviews

Before there were X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and and sonograms, there was only the gift of human touch…


It's a given that the eight most devastating words a patient can hear from their doctor are, "I'm sorry, there's more nothing I can do." But what of the doctors who are forced to deliver this sentence? Do they rail against the random cruelty that assaults their patients? Do they lie awake nights wondering if they missed something? Do they turn away to insulate their emotions in an act of self preservation? Do they offer an alternative?

New surgeon Kim Donovan explores the potential of introducing her alternative healing program to the surgical floor and unwittingly unleashes a deluge of controversy.

Senior surgeon, Erik Behler, has seen the very worst of unproven forms of medicine when it killed his young patient, and he leads the charge against Kim's persuasive efforts. But who is right? Has Erik taken his prejudice too far and he's unable to see alternate possibilities of healing, or is Kim a menace to medicine and a potential danger to her patients?

Donovan's Paradigm takes an extended peek under the white curtain to explore the hearts and minds of doctors, what they're thinking, what they believe, and how they battle with controversial changes within medicine.

This is a must read for anyone who:

• Faced insurmountable odds

• Believed in something far bigger than themselves

• Had a dream

• Has fallen in love
