A Surgeon’s Knot

De: William Lynes

Narrado por: Keith Barbaria

"Heart-pounding tales of a surgical intern that are both terrifying and profound. This medical thriller will stay with you long past the final chapter.” (Best Thrillers)

Jackson Cooper, MD, will never forget that first day, its stunning conclusion forever etched in his mind. His year as a surgical intern is a story of medical suspense, tragedy, and occasional terror, as a young physician deals with the world of surgery.

The surgeon’s knot is a surgical tie used in the operating room that the intern practices ceaselessly. The knot refers, as well, to the tangled world of the protagonist.

Jackson’s life soon becomes burned-out, resulting from events beyond his control as well as destructive behavior. Physicians, patients, and cases ranging from humorous to tragic are present. A Surgeon’s Knot is a story of the dignity of medicine, the overwhelming duty to man, failure, and recovery.

Not a medical thriller

This is a fictional diary of an intern’s first year. He has a pain pill addiction and some other doctors have their own personal problems. If you’re interested in learning about multiple diseases and treatments it is okay. Otherwise boring.

Great story of addiction and redemption.

The intensity of internship, especially a surgical internship (perhaps even more so in the 60s), is not exaggerated.

I love the characters and character development! I look forward to reading all of Dr. Lyne’s novels.
