From the Author

In the era of “second medical opinion,” in an age when intermediate magazine readers know more with regards to face-lifts, nose jobs and breast reductions than family doctors do, 75 percent of people who have had anesthesia, do not even do not forget the name of the anesthesiologist.

Life in the operating room is similar to life in a submarine: no windows, no daylight, and always the same people present. The only “visitor,” is commonly asleep.

The anesthesiologist is the pilot who will fly you as safely as possible through somber surgical clouds. The time expended in an operating room is similar to the time expended in a cockpit: hours and hours of comfortable boredom, interrupted by moments of sheer terror.

If a person dies of a sudden in a hotel room, the initial diagnosis is always “heart attack.”

If a person dies all of a sudden in an operating room, the original diagnosis is always “anesthetic death.”

American citizens are innocent until proven guilty.

American physicians are guilty until proven innocent.(Just check the “medical malpractice lawyers” ads on television, Yellow Pages and public benches).

But medical innocence is hard to prove in front of well chosen non medical juries. Raising the “professional liability insurance” fees for doctors is much less complicated. In 2006 the one year professional insurance for a Long Island brain surgeon is $270,000 !

Would you concede your child to become a brain surgeon ?

But physicians are not always guilty and “terrO.R.” is here to prove it.

Reading Terro.r. is not an Erro.r.
By !Edwin C. Pauzer
I exhaustively enjoyed this short, well-written novel from an anesthesiologist who did not put me to sleep with his introductory undertake at novel writing. When he commented on one of my reviews when it comes to my sensed evils of tort reform, I thought his book would be centered on medical malpractice. Alas, it had an interesting plot and an even more interesting twist that ought to have intelligence agencies asking themselves why they hadn’t thought of it.

Appealing but also not exclusively satisfactory
By H. Schneider
The problem is not the classification of the book (novella? novel?), but the fact that it remains far behind it is potential. Doc Joe has an interesting idea for a plot, but he has not found the right language for it. His dialogues strike me as not completely right. People don’t talk like that, not even in TV shows.
Most of the prose is very specialized description of medical procedures, which goes too far for me, as I am a little squeamish. It would be a challenge to write in regards to medical procedures for laymen in an interesting fashion without getting trivial. Maybe it may not be done. For sure, insiders may have cherished JN’s compact style.
Finally, I think Doc Joe actually wanted to write an essay with a message, which is that malpractice exercises are killing the medical profession in the US. He may be totally right with this, but he would not have necessitated a fictional wrapping for his thesis. Fiction will have to not be used for messages, at least not for rubbing it in the readers’ faces.
Maybe he could restart and write two things: one essay on how malpractice suits kill the medical profession, and one terror adventure story on how medical doctors may get entangled in unexpected complications?
