JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 22, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Malpractice and abuse often lead to permanent injury or death of the victims. Such conduct fails to comply with moral and professional standards and is often committed by professionals (or their subordinates) on behalf of others and is also often linked with medical and legal malpractice. In his new book The Third Oath, author Robert Paul presents to his readers an enduring and highly intriguing look at malpractice as it affects both the medical and legal worlds.
The story begins with a young girl being beaten by her father which, shortly thereafter, leads to her death. A lawsuit arises from that death involving malpractice allegations against the treating physician. The plot unfolds, involving more doctors in a nationwide plot to eliminate attorneys -- specifically targeting malpractice attorneys. The scheme expands, as medical personnel from laboratories, nurses and others are recruited to help cover up the deaths around the nation. Because attorneys are not dying fast enough, the doctors eventually hire assassins to do their bidding. Discovery of the clandestine operation, and subsequent confrontation, comes from a pair of unlikely protagonists: insurance investigators who, meanwhile, become amorously entwined. Will their involvement put an end to the killings, or result in their own demise? Only time can tell.
With its fascinating story, interesting cast of characters and deep mystery, The Third Oath is bound to entertain and stun a wide audience of readers, especially mystery fans and the millions of medical and legal staff scattered across the country. Because of ongoing state and federal interest in curtailing rising medical costs, partly as a result of skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance premiums, this novel is perfectly timed and highly relevant as legislators around the country struggle with how to alleviate malpractice issues.
