From the back cover

When Dr. George Cole cuts through a patient's bra with trauma shears to save her life, his fiancée Monica posts a video of the chest compressions online, questioning the patient's privacy and his wandering hands. The hospital, eager to avoid a scandal, demotes him, docks his entire annual bonus, and files a formal reprimand. Branded a pervert after years of saving lives, George gives up: he will not save another soul.

His surrender is quiet but absolute. As a resident, he follows protocol to the letter, clocks out on time, and refuses to touch critical cases, telling a frantic nurse to find Dr. Ryan, the department head's nephew, who has taken over his attending position. Ryan's clueless micromanagement and convoluted charting standards throw the ward into chaos, and colleagues begin to whisper that they miss George's decisiveness.

Now George has submitted a request for thirty days of accrued leave, and Dr. Matthews is furious. Everyone is waiting for a real crisis to erupt.
