Critical Care - Softcover
Peter Werner Ernst, M.D., is an internal medicine resident at a major hospital's intensive care unit. He functions on eight hours sleep for every three shifts at work. Overseeing the care of eight patients, Dr. Ernst's job is to keep death at bay - at least until the day shift comes on, and any potential death goes on someone else's record. When Felicia Porter enters the ward to visit her comatose father, Dr. Ernst sees an opportunity to spice up his grim routine with a little romance. What he cannot see is how his relationship with the young attractive model will call into question his judgment and integrity, also just how far he will go for the sake of his lust.
"A scathingly funny black comedy...almost impossible to put down." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
