Summary

Dr. Peter Werner Ernst is an internal medicine resident at a major hospital's intensive care unit. He functions on eight hours of 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 Potter enters the ward to visit her comatose father, Dr. Ernst sees the 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 integrity, his dedication to his career, and just how far he will go for the sake of his lust.

"A scathingly funny black comedy . . . almost impossible to put down." --Harper Barnes, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Savage . . . Mr. Dooling's caricatures of self -important or senile doctors are wickedly clever." --The Atlantic Monthly
