Money Is The Devil

About the Book

Money is the Devil is a novel about the life experiences of an orthopedic surgeon named “Falcon.” He seems to lead a charmed life, traveling the world to lecture at medical conferences, running marathons, and flying airplanes. His life is disrupted, however, when he receives a demand letter from an attorney saying her two disabled clients have been sexually assaulted in the course of knee examinations. The “women of the Board” believe the two women and end up persuading the Board of Medicine to revoke his medical license even though no evidence was ever presented to back up the false accusations. He stands tall, however, and moves ahead to new adventures. This is a story of strength and resilience.
