From Blood To Gas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218598235)

Dr. Maggie Owens knows how to keep going. Out of the meat grinder of medical training, across the desolate landscape of the modern healthcare system, she persists. Through a violent workplace incident and the end of her marriage, she maintains. Maggie is a doctor, isn't she? This is what doctors do.

Until they don't.

When she returns to Portland University Hospital for a fresh start, Maggie is derailed by the sudden disappearance of Alice, a colleague with whom she had a complicated and tumultuous connection. As Maggie seeks to uncover the truth, a ghastly figure from her past reappears to urge her onward.

With every thread she pulls, Maggie herself unravels in return, and one thing becomes clear: To truly move forward, Maggie must redefine what it means to keep going.

A powerful exploration of the emotional toll of medicine, From Blood To Gas is not just about the practice of healing - it's about learning how to heal yourself.
