A Medical Affair

After a life-threatening asthma attack induced by the fumes in her newly painted Upper West Side apartment, Heather Morrison falls for Jeff Davis, the handsome but very married doctor who revives her in the ER. Her "knight in shining armor" turns out to be less of a knight as time goes by and more of a heartbreak waiting to happen.

When their relationship ends, Heather's life dramatically changes as she finds herself addicted to prescription pills Jeff prescribed, and her future as an adoptive mother in question. Set in the bustling city of New York, A Medical Affair by debut author Anne McCarthy Strauss could be a game changer for many women as it reveals what most people don't know - that an affair between a doctor and his patient is always ethically wrong and often a violation of law.

Along with Heather, the reader learns the truth behind her doctor's behavior and her subsequent filing of civil suit. Although a work of fiction, A Medical Affair was extensively researched. This is truly a story that must be told.
