Caught in the Undertow

By C E de Gzell

The hospital was never meant to be a battleground.

Poppy Mason is finally finding her feet as a young doctor at The Bennelong. A new term in Respiratory Medicine promises growth, challenge, and maybe even clarity about her future. But when a mysterious virus begins spreading across the globe, the wards shift from routine medicine to something far more dangerous.

As fear creeps through the corridors, Poppy must navigate impossible workloads, fragile patients, political hospital hierarchies, and the simmering tensions of love stretched by distance. With old wounds reopening and new crises unfolding, the lines between professional duty and personal survival begin to blur.

Because when the undertow hits, it doesn't just drag patients under.

It pulls at everything.

Gritty, intimate, and unflinchingly real, Caught in the Undertow is a powerful story of medicine, moral courage, and the cost of caring when the world is tipping into chaos.
