| Publisher Description: It's a doctor's duty to "do no harm," but in a world where healthcare is completely in the hands of the government, meet physicians whose main mission is taking life instead of giving it. Lieutenant Jaye Osgood is lucky to have a good government job. It offers him and his family of five all the comforts of a good life: security, money and access. Until now he had never questioned the tasks he carried out for the Ministry of Health: missions that tore families apart-all in the name of the greater good. But then his own family unit is placed in jeopardy, and Osgood must risk it all to save the ones he loves. The Kevorkian Oath is a cautionary tale of the potential perils of government-run healthcare. |
