X-Raying the DoctorBy Cindy M. AmosDescription:
Greer Trousdale finds her new job at Chicago’s Cook County Hospital off to a rocky start in the spring of 1937 when her special skills as medical transcriptionist collide with the handsome x-ray doctor, Thane Keaton, during a crisis. A Geiger counter becomes an intermediary of sorts until a date at the lush Garfield Park Conservatory sets their hindered mutual attraction into better alignment. When a careless orderly poses an internal threat, Greer must learn more about the x-ray machine, using her typewriter keyboard’s QWERTY as a secret code. On a hunch, she’ll employ a low-dose of unwavering support for the hero behind the x-ray machine, a device whose invisible power has the strength to penetrate damaged tissue for amazing diagnostics—or irradiate it for a harmful demise. Book Takeaway:Even under invisible threat, valor for duty can turn ordinary men and women into extraordinary ambassadors for advancement under the hand of God Why the author wrote this book:To capture the "valor for duty" of early pioneers in the field of radiology, given a strong faith and a determination to make a difference |
