MEDICAL MALADY

He was in his Montreal apartment with a woman. He had made the apartment meticulously nut free. Nuts were a deadly poison to him, he was anaphylactic. The woman knew it. They were drinking wine. Then it happened. Suspecting the worst, he jabbed himself with EpiPen, an antidote, and rushed to the ER minutes away. He was a doctor; he could articulate the urgency. Yet, two hours later, he lay on an ICU bed near death, dying. Irony, he was scheduled to work in the same hospital the following morning.

What happened to Bobby? That was the question. Who were telling the truth? The doctors? The Nurses? The Hospitals? His friend? Not one person was forthcoming. A massive hunt uncovered the truth. But then what happened in the end? Who won? Bobby? The doctors? The hospitals? What? None of them? Then who? The woman? Did her truth corroborate with the evidence?

Now, would a doctor write a book about this? Not if he wants to keep his job. Lawyers? Nah, they make money from all sides! But an engineer outside the bubble of the medical-legal system would. After all, the doctor was his son!

Medical Malady is a survival story. It shows the good, the bad, and the ugly side of our medical-legal system; note: the system. It is not intended to demonize our doctors, nurses, or specialistsgranted that there are those who need more training than othersbut to help them and their patients, through this story to be acutely aware and be mindful of simple mistakes that happen daily; mistakes that can have profound long term effect in lives of real people and real families.

Praise for Medical Malady:

"Medical Malady. Here is a non-fiction book. This is a quest for truth by a father about what happened to his son. This young man, who was promised to a bright future, was victim of a medical error that left him handicapped and almost killed. The story looks like a criminal investigation at the beginning but ends up to be a long and hard battle into the Canadian medico-legal system. The author is an engineer so he did not spare any detailthis book must be read and this story known in order to improve the treatment of medical malady in a respectful society. Un livre à lire et une histoire à connaître pour améliorer le traitement des erreurs médicales dans une société qui se respecte." Dr René Ducharme, Psychiatrist, Ottawa.

"What a compelling and engaging rendition of what can go wrong in our medical system.  The story line engaged me for a straight six and half hours.  It is a must read for all patients involved in our medical system.  It was quite an eye-opener, indeed." Maria P. Marchelletta, President, WEN, Toronto.

"Prad Chaudhuri, who personifies the indie author: driven to write by a life-altering experience and refusing to tell the story in any way but his. It's a fascinating yet frightening true tale of medical mistakes involving his son, and the cover-up and legal dispute that followed. His book, Medical Malady: Survival in a Minefield of Medical Mistakes, reads like a mystery and a thriller, with the action all the more chilling because it really happened to him and his family." Howard Lovy, Executive Editor, Foreword Reviews newsletter http://bit.ly/1mKaUle.

"Unexpectedly, I couldn't put the book down...Prad's book should be required reading for all patients and health care professionals" Ji
