Subversion of Trust

"Subversion of Trust" is the story of Alex McKinnon, an older rural doctor who challenges an aggressive for-profit HMO for the sake of his patients and his integrity. With the advent of spring in a Montana ranching community, the stakes are raised and the community's clinic, with its unforgettable cast of characters, is pitted against a regional medical center. Doc's protégé, Dr. Jenny Morgan, is the center's feisty chief of staff and head of emergency services. At the heart of this story is Waynona -- pregnant and penniless -- a heroine in her own right. Other memorable characters in this well-crafted narrative are Peggy, Doc's office nurse and the love of his life; Stan, a strapping cowboy and Jenny's high school sweetheart; John and Emma Morgan, Jenny's folks and longtime ranchers in the community; and Hugh Drummel, the ambitious self-important hospital administrator. The human dramas of medicine play out in underhanded competitions for control of patients and their families and the revenue they represent. This is a tale of dedication and daring, of power abused, and of the difficult choices to be made in health care. How Doc and Jenny finally solve their dilemmas is a spirited story that will give the medical profession courage and patients hope.
