23 Days At Montefiore Murder, Mystery, and Malpractice a Patient Advocate's Odyssey

Blood, bones and bacteria. Doctors licensed to kill. Dismayed by the dangerous, deceitful, and deadly practices of New York's Montefiore Medical Center, their doctors, and the lawyers hired to cover-up their abuses; 23 Days at Montefiore journeys the path of a patient advocate. Furthermore, while fighting to save the life of an elderly woman forced to suffer multiple experimental surgeries, she observes chronic and systemic patient abuses throughout the hospital. Gripping, this human drama takes the reader through the difficult hospitalization, which includes deadly infections, surgical complications requiring additional treatment because of abuse, negligence, and malpractice committed by doctors and hospital staff. Montefiore’s operating room is a living morgue and the gateway to death. A heart-wrenching read, this book explores 23 days of torment, denial of patient care, and first-hand accounts of the horrors experienced by many of the patients at Montefiore. The book teaches advocacy skills.
