Maniacs in Medicine Strike Again . . .

Hi, folks:



PatricParamedic, here. You know, it was two years ago next month, yes indeed. Wow, how time cruises by. That's when our literary agent sent the email that changed the direction of our lives. You see, she suggested we drop the emergency medical novel we were plodding away on, and start immediately instead on, "Something medical, something real, something edgy." Non-fiction. And if we could toss in some humor, well, that would be just grand, too.



Because we're a bit on the slow side to see possibilities in life, it took a while. So we bounced ideas around like basketballs on a playground, for, actually, most of a summer. Something kept flitting throught the cobwebs of our mind. And then . . . and then . . . it hit. Anna Nicole Smith. Famous person. Found in the bed. Overdose. Was Anna Nicole taking street drugs? Buying junky stuff off the alley corner at midnight? Not even. Who was her drug connection? Some sleezy dude in an Escalade? Why, no. Her drug pimp was her Doctor. (Not sure about the Escalade)

Doctor? Oh, yeah. One or two bad apples? Oh, no. We're talking orchards full.


So that's where the research started. 2000 hours and 300 pages later, four new kinds of late night wine discovered, a brand new book was born. Just what the agent had suggested, way back when. "Something medical. Something real. Something edgy." (You'll be the judge on the humor, although we think some parts are downright hilarious)


America's Dumbest Doctors, is on the way. Mid-September. Coming to bookstores, and web sites - near you. Oh, it's gonna be a hoot.

The good news for us? We found more material on bizarre doctor behavior then we thought could possibly exist. The bad news? Had we waited just a few months longer, we could have honored Michael Jackson's doctors with their very own Chapter.


Because when it comes to the Maniacs in Medicine, why, Casey Kasem got it right.


"The Hits just keep on coming."
