Synopsis:
Unethical, greedy, and illicit – welcome to the operating room at Masonville General Hospital.
Anesthesiologist Viktoria Thorsdottir is no ordinary physician and she’s accustomed to working temporary assignments. In her travels, however, she’s never been greeted by such a stark, icy-cold reception from O.R. personnel like the one she encounters at Masonville General.

Dr. Thorsdottir discovers that there are forces at work in this Northern Pennsylvania hospital that she doesn’t understand; forces that the doctors in charge pretend don’t exist. In the face of growing animosity towards her, she begins to stealthily monitor the nurse anesthetists she supervises, and must become as diabolical as they are to discover the disturbing truth of the community’s anesthesia services. As Viktoria’s situation becomes more complex, it is apparent that there is more than one sinister secret hidden in the department!

Dr. Viktoria Thorsdottir is an Anesthesiologist who begins working at Masonville General in Pennsylvania. She is a doctor on the road with temporary assignments to various hospitals. She finds that the staff in the O.R. department at Masonville General are unwelcoming, cold and aloof.

Her patients are not being relieved of their pain and Viktoria begins to question and observe many things. She starts to discover that there are terrible things going on in this hospital.

The author delves deep into questions of moral and ethical responsibility within the hospital and medical field.
