Adverse Outcome
(2025)(The ninth book in the Kurtz and Barent Mystery series)
A novel by Robert I Katz
Every physician has cases that don't go as planned, and for a surgeon, an unexpected event can quickly become a matter of life or death. A good surgeon is trained to deal with complications but some complications are beyond anyone's control.
Richard Kurtz was a good surgeon (if he did say so himself, which he did).but strange things are happening in the small world of Easton Medical Center, things that Kurtz has difficulty explaining. An elderly patient was found dead in his bed after a minor procedure. A healthy middle-aged woman has died in a plastic surgeon's office after a routine facelift and a third patient has suffered a cardiac arrest in the Recovery Room from an apparent overdose of potassium chloride.
No system is perfect and a certain number of mistakes are inevitable, none of which are presumed to be deliberate. This is the reality that every physician has to live with. Were these adverse outcomes merely unfortunate accidents or is something much more dire going on? Kurtz and Barent are determined to find out, and they soon find that delving too closely into what appear to be a simple series of unfortunate mishaps can shake the small world of Easton Medical Center to its core, and incidentally put both their lives in danger. .
