Code-One Dancing

by Michael Ellman

What would you do if you were the only one who believed your patient was killed by her husband—and the husband was high up in the Chicago mob? Now meet Dr. Ted, a third-year medical resident, who insists on an autopsy and notices the police decisions that lead to dire consequences. Travel with Ted through the three-ring circus of the hospital and his un-doctor like plan for justice and revenge. “The subtitle of this first person narrative is ‘Medicine Murder Revenge,’ which successfully summarizes the themes that the author weaves through the text…(Dr.) Ted is an engaging character, outwardly cocky while inwardly fully aware of his own hype. [Code-One Dancing] is a tale that should appeal to fans of medical fiction, particularly those who’ve undergone the real-life rigors of hospital training.” ~Kirkus Reviews “'Code-One Dancing' sparkles with wit and verve. The making of a doctor—the emergencies, the pace, the friendships, the fun—then a murder and revenge—Dr. Ted is a flawed hero that takes us through the ‘rush’ of hospital life and his ideas of hard-core justice.” ~Joan H. Parks Author of "The Book Club Chronicles" and the "Late Bronze Age Series"
