When young neurologist Dr. Clayton Winthrop accepts a position with Neurological Associates in Philadelphia, it seems like a plum assignment. But the seemingly enviable post soon turns sour when Winthrop is unfairly criticized for using a particular procedure on a number of patients. As tempers flare and arguments turn bitter, Winthrop becomes increasingly convinced he will have to leave the practice. The last straw comes when one of Winthrop's colleagues holds a press conference to take credit for a surgery technique that Winthrop himself pioneered. Angry and disillusioned, Winthrop finds a new position at a California research institute. But the new job soon becomes just as frustrating as the last and sends Winthrop into an emotional tailspin. Now he must choose between facing his detractors and watching his career go down in flames. I wanted to offer readers an inside look at the medical profession, Wilson says. The book also reveals the difference between surgical procedures for the brain used in this age of computers compared with the free-hand techniques of the past. Intended to entertain and inform, the book is based on Wilson's extensive experience as a scientific and medical patent attorney. Filled with scientific detail, the story is intended to offer readers a rarely-seen glimpse of the personalities and practices that pioneer medical care.
