RELIEF

Surgeon Frank Lambert and Nurse Gwen Pakin bring some of their personal demons with them, to their new deployment in Bosnia, during the Yugoslavian civil war of the 90's. There at a remote relief mission, the victims they find are mostly raped young women, whom they proceed to abort. This goes well until they do it for both sides - then the genocidal maniac in their midst reveals himself, with disastrous consequences.

DEAD WRONG

Big egos struggle for survival and money as the United States gets down to universal health care. Thirty-four babies are murdered at a pre-eminent heart hospital. The investigation is on, but then the Undersecretary of State for Health dies at the same Boston hospital without anyone lifting a finger!

Young surgeon Peter Martins, and aspiring news anchor Anne Maples, blow the case wide open while nobody in authority will listen. Bottom line: different crime.

Klaus Jakelski article on doctors and the unimaginable

Klaus Jakelski on doctors and the unimaginable

Frank Lambert’s soul had hemorrhaged dry long before he volunteered for his present deployment. He just didn’t know it yet.
