Conversations for Paco: Why America Needs Healthcare For All (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615471099)

A mysterious illness is about to splinter an unsuspecting family ... An expos jam-packed with love, lust, debauchery and greed unfolds when disease collides with healthcare profiteers and physician indifference in Conversations for Paco. Inspired by a true account, Conversations for Paco juxtaposes the venerable institutions of medicine against the personal anguish of enigmatic disease as PACO and SARITA S NCHEZ battle Paco's mysterious illness and JUSTIN SUTHERLAND surmounts the unanticipated challenges of medical education. Two parts social criticism, one part medical suspense, it spins a thought provoking, yet spellbinding tale. What happens in the end will haunt you forever and force you to ask, "Can this really be?" Unfortunately, the painful truth is ... "Yes."
