Evan Coleman works for D-MACS, a government agency that has been formed to decrease admissions to hospitals, valuing profit over patient outcomes. With his gentle, practical, and unassuming charm, Evan's role as a panelist is to score each patient to determine their likelihood of receiving life saving measures. Now, a new controversial variable is being introduced that could further decrease the odds of getting healthcare treatment altogether.
The patients are routinely picked up by a pair of EMTs with a fondness for betting on the outcome of their client. Their routine of driving an ambulance is turned upside down with the newest scoring methodology and gets even more unpredictable when Evan and his fellow panelists work to dismantle this newest addition from the inside out. As the panelists review cases, each patient's story is presented in a humorous manner to bring levity to an otherwise sensitive subject of healthcare sustainability.
This medical thriller, combined with quirky storylines, will invite the reader to take a second look at the current climate of healthcare in the chaotic world of government overreach. Will the government bureaucracy in its efforts to save money at the cost of patient lives ultimately win out? Will D-MACS be defeated by a renegade group of panelists? These questions will be answered while encouraging the reader to ponder social justice and healthcare rights while laughing all the way!
