2 Frank Slaughter Books retailer ~ Convention M.D. & Code Five, Vintage Books

retailer 2 Vintage Hardback Frank G. Slaughter Books ~ Convention M.D. AND Code Five! Code Five is a first printing book club edition! Please see photos for visual inspection. Frank G. Slaughter, pseudonym C.V. Terry, was an American novelist and physician whose books sold more than 60 million copies. His novels drew on his own experience as a doctor and his interest in history and the Bible. Through his novels, he often introduced readers to new findings in medical research and new medical technologies.

Convention M.D. ~ The annual gathering of the Central Medial Association got under way with a fanfare of publicity that matched nothing so much as the opening of a national political convention. And in a way that's just what it was, for at the end of five days the members would choose a new president in an election that had become the focus of a bitter struggle between old guard physicians and the new breed of young doctors who wanted to make their profession more responsive to the needs of people. But as the campaign got under way in earnest, a grim accident that took the life of a prominent guest speaker made it all too clear that someone in the convention hall was interested in something far different from medical politics.

Code Five ~ "Code Five!" The universal term for cardiac arrest--the gravest of all hospital emergency situations. "Code five!" Is the cry which introduces Dr. Jud Tyler to St. Luke's Hospital--and the words might stand for the hospital itself. Overcrowded, understaffed, St. Luke's is a veritable dumping ground for all the city's charity cases--a place where medical ethics are lost or forgotten, where a rich woman's sexual hunger can raise havoc, and politics counts for more than the patient's lives.
