That None Should Die — Frank G. Slaughter

A young doctor struggles to maintain his ideals in the face of personal tragedy, medical quackery, and political intrigue.

Ran Warren was an idealistic young surgeon. But he soon learned that not all his colleagues shared his idealism -- or his ethics.

His first lessons were in the intrigues of “hospital politics” where money and power often counted for more than skill, or even safety.

Then Congress passed a law to bring medicine and doctors under federal control. And Ran found himself in the middle of a national medical scandal -- with the future of the profession hanging on his skill with a knife.
