Medical decisions can kill or cure, and this book documents one month in a hospital where staff are challenged by such decisions. Problems are faced daily by people like Kate Sayers, a surgeon whose dedication to her work makes any private life difficult, and whose boyfriend, an investigative journalist, opens up publicity on issues which the hospital would far rather keep quiet.
