Goldblatt's Descent

By Michael Honig

A darkly funny descent into the absurdities of hospital life.

Malcolm Goldblatt has one last chance. Life has dumped him at Professor Andrea Small's medical unit, where he will minister to the world's most unimportant disease. From Dr. Madic's aversion to work, to Dr. Burton's ambition, and the professor's vanities, Goldblatt faces a familiar cycle of hope and despair. The temptation to press the self-destruct button begins to feel less like professional suicide and more like salvation.

Can Goldblatt navigate this dysfunctional system? Will he maintain his integrity, or succumb to the moral compromises that surround him? Goldblatt's Descent is a darkly humorous and character-driven story about ambition, ethics, and the search for meaning in a world where everything seems to be falling apart. For readers who enjoy medical fiction with a satirical edge.
