Carl Douglass, Neurosurgeon turned Author, writes with gripping realism stemming from his experience as a practicing neurosurgeon. He was reared in a small mountain town in the west, made it into a major university almost as a fluke, and entered into competition with some of the best talents and brains in the country. He knows the emotional impact of being a defendant in a malpractice case and the strategies needed to win. The Sybil series is a product of his imagination, butit has a generous dollop of practical reality woven into it. Douglass lives with his wife of fifty years in the quiet enjoyment of their mountain home.
