Synopsis
A young female doctor faces the violence, debauchery, and larger-than-life characters of a New Orleans surgery in this funny and gritty medical novel. New Orleans , 1982. Voodoo spells, prostitutes, prisoners, and veterans who are adamant about the size of their manhood--it's all just another day at Charity Hospital, also known as The Big Free . It's a medical free-for-all with the toughest trauma surgery in America, and Elizabeth--fresh from medical school in Charleston, wearing pearls and pink plaid socks--is one of the first women to work there. Half of the doctors who start the surgery program never finish. Nothing in her proper Southern upbringing prepared Elizabeth for the gritty and gruesome world she now experiences on a daily basis. And even if she's tougher than anyone first expected, the question remains . . . will she make the cut? Full of drama, humor, and New Orleans flavor, The Big Free is a young doctor's coming of age story as only a true medical insider can tell it., New Orleans' Charity Hospital provides the setting for the horror and humor that transforms one of the first women surgeons from a naïve southern girl into a competent woman surgeon., Engrossing tail of the true horror and humor of medicine as only an insider can tellTeaches the power and beauty of a good doctor and patient relationshipGives historic perspective on progress for women in the workplace and race relations in the inner cityShows an honest perspective of medical training in the early 1980's in the inner cityFilled with humor and sadness and intimacy about the lives of doctors and patients in an inner city hospitalThe Big Free is a cross between the book M.A.S.H , the TV shows ER and House, the book The House Of God, and the book Cutting For Stone., The Big Free describes the medical humor and drama in the life of one of the first women surgeons in the busiest trauma surgery program in New Orleans in 1982. The excitement and dark humor of the inner city emergency room is the background for this coming of age story. Only a great story teller with inside knowledge can capture the intimacy of the lives of doctors, nurses and their patients. Readers will laugh and cry and long to know more of the spirited, young, female-doctor protagonist.
