Aneurysm

Maxine "The Dog" Doggette is a nurse attorney who will do absolutely anything to win a case. With the help of her hopeless incompetent assistant, Billy Barlow, and her tiny Chihuahua, Minimus, she pursues a nasty and potentially ruinous medical malpractice lawsuit again Hugh Montrose, a world famous neurosurgeon, even though she knows he's innocent of any negligence. Unbeknownst to her, she has a dangerous brain aneurysm that shows ominous signs of growth throughout the story and finally ruptures at the climax of Hugh's trial. In the emergency room afterwards, surrounded by her natural enemies and barely alive, she realizes that the man she has vilified is the only one who has the skills to save her life. As gripping as today's headlines and told with caustic wit, Aneurysm is a smart savvy satire of the tangled world of medical malpractice litigation. A bold, fierce, and funny new voice in literature and a thrilling page-turner you'll never forget.
