|  | | Behind the Union Curtain
A compelling account of the union organizations that represent workers. Although only 12.5 percent of workers belong to a union, there are 15.7 million union members in the United States. But 36.5 percent of government workers are unionized.
This book chronicles the tumultuous history of labor unions beginning with the train wrecks in the 1800s. Alongside the unions were the doctors who cared for injured workers. Conflicts arose. The company-chosen doctors were put on a “common enemies list.” Doctors are accused of bias favoring the employer. Union members are accused of abusing the system. The battle between union workers and company doctors is deciphered and potential solutions analyzed.
A fascinating account of the early automotive manufacturing plants with the early workers provides a glimpse of life in the early 1900s. Life in the mining towns and logging camps is documented by personal accounts by workers. The idle workers of the depression years in the 1930s led to legislation affecting us today.
If you have ever wondered how the union system works…this book is for you.

This is a lightning-fast paced story of a young surgery resident at the end of his rope when he discovers that he has not performed enough surgery to meet the requirements for certification. His world is crumbling around him as he falls in love with a nurse who has a demented mother.
The mother sees him as a rival to her affection and is intent at eliminating the competition by using her gang affiliations. Love and romance supersedes the dangers involved as the doctor and nurse are attracted to each other like magnets.
With plenty of sarcastic one-liners, the story shows a powerful image of a man who refuses to knuckle under. He is literally the hero that every red-blooded male wants to be - calm, cool, in control, and able to keep his promises. This is a medical suspense adventure.
Excerpt from Straightjacket We stopped in front of the nurses’ station. Her blue-green eyes were burning a hole through me again, and my heart palpitated, causing me to cough involuntarily. I sat down to look at Thurston’s chart, but she fluttered closer. I could feel the heat of her body as she brushed up against me.
