![]() The title of A Surgeon’s Knot, by William Lynes, is an appropriate metaphor for Jackson Cooper’s chaotic first-year surgical internship. Unlike current TV medical sitcoms or docu-dramas, this gripping novel engages the reader from the fictional life of Dr. Jackson Cooper’s first day of being called “Doctor” and his dealing with the death of a patient intermixed with the drama of caring for multiple diverse patients in a large Palo Alto, California, hospital in the early 1980s. The complicated plot, medical theme,and well-developed characterizations keep the reader on the edge of the chair. The shared stories of patients’ misery but also of humanity and their quest to live a meaningful life in the face of death are emotionally moving. Reviewed by: Carole W |
