My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Scott Eveloff, author of the book Do Not Resuscitate. Scott Eveloff, MD is a physician living in Overland Park Kansas, having served the medical needs of far-flung towns in rural Missouri for greater than thirty years while actively publishing his perspectives on ethics in medicine. He has published extensively in the medical literature, having authored or co-authored 24 articles and book chapters. He has also authored and published a book detailing the first tumultuous years of his son’s life, Both Sides of The White Coat (People With Disabilities Press, 2000, 127 pages). Such extraordinary experiences as both a physician and parent of a medically complex child have been picked up and published by media as distant as England. His work has also earned him appearances on ABC’s 20/20 Medical Mysteries, ABC News Nightline, and on the Dr. Oz show. Dr Eveloff has remained a passionate advocate for the disabled. Many characters in his novels were inspired by his son’s life and attitude, and are tributes to the dignity that the disabled deserve but often do not receive.
Besides his passion for patient advocacy and compassion in today’s intimidating medical world, Dr. Eveloff’s interests include World War II, the Jewish experience in the Holocaust, and the supernatural. Out of such varied interests have sprung two books, Do Not Resuscitate (Black Rose Writing) and The Golem’s Holocaust (Histria Books), the latter fiction reimagining strange coincidences of history by combining actual events with a mythological creature. Although Dr. Eveloff has indulged his love of writing with a focus on writing outside of medical subject matter, he also continues to submit and publish articles on the state of medicine and patient care.
In my book review, I stated Do Not Resuscitate is an intense medical thriller. We meet Harry, an intern who finds himself on the wrong side of deaths that appear to be medical errors - his medical errors. He believes he may be a witness to an angel of death and suspects his resident. But everything turns sideways when he begins hearing and seeing the dead.
In addition to dealing with his own grief from the loss of his newborn child, his wife's grief, and the long hours of being an intern, Harry wonders if he is losing his mind. After meeting an elderly doctor, he realizes he has stumbled into something otherworldly - and it will be up to him to save innocent patients - and even those he loves.
Will he be able to get others to believe that the dead are stealing bodies by using modern resuscitation techniques? More importantly, will he be able to create a plan to stop the madness?
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat - and is a must read for any medical thriller enthusiast!
