CHAPTER ONE (#u0c15fc4a-2c59-5aff-956d-cd206ef4f509)

“RETRACTOR!” SNAPPED Dr. Rex Maxwell.

His surgical nurse quickly placed it in his palm.

“We need to find this bleeder. Suction.” With a gentle movement, Rex lifted the liver as his assistant, standing across the OR table from him at Metropolitan Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, obeyed his command.

Rex watched intently for any sign of red liquid. This patient had come through the emergency department the night before and one of his colleagues had patched the man up but the patient wasn’t recovering as he should. His midsection had swelled. There was internal bleeding. Rex was known as the “go-to man” who handled hard-to-find problems like this. He didn’t disappoint. Confident in his skills as a surgeon, his success rate had proved him more than competent. Except in one case.

His heart jumped as he spotted the problem. “Found it. Sutures.”

“That figures. You find them when no one else can,” the anesthesiologist said, admiration in his tone.
