COMING SOON
BURNT TO THE BONE
Dr. Michael Geller, a rising La Jolla general surgeon at Scripps Clinic, is quietly destroying himself. Beneath the confident surgeon and devoted husband to Elena is a man consumed by prescription drug addiction, alcohol, and the emotional wreckage of his father's rejection. A suicide attempt exposes the crisis, triggering intervention by the California Physician Diversion Program and unflinching sessions with Doctor Harmon, who diagnoses the classic triad of physician burnout beneath the addiction. Guided by a Tuesday night Bible study on the Prodigal Son and the unconditional love of his stepson David, Michael begins the brutal, uncertain work of recovery.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am William Lynes, a retired physician, board-certified urologist, and award-winning author. I am a survivor, advocate, and speaker concerning physician burnout and suicide in the medical profession. My passion for writing began in 1990 with a challenge from my three sons to write a book about their lives. Pirates, Scoundrels, and Kings was the result, a fantasy adventure story set in medieval times. Since then, I have concentrated my writing on medically-related fiction, publishing eight works. I have also enjoyed writing short fiction, especially biblical short stories.
