A sharp, satirical tale set in a towering, not-so-distant city. A physician returns home after decades abroad and discovers a world where the Medical Union Number Six controls how doctors work, when they work, and even how patients are treated. The book follows his uneasy ascent through a system that blends bureaucracy with personal ambition, exposing the clash between duty and union rules.
The narrator’s journey blends medical drama with keen social observation. Through tense cases, heated debates, and public outrage, the story probes what happens when professional power can both protect and constrain doctors—and when conscience tests the bounds of loyalty.
Ideal for readers who enjoy vintage medical satire, smart character drama, and a brisk, thought-provoking plot.

Journey through the life of an American doctor who leaves his country and returns thirty years later, only to find himself in a world vastly different from what he left behind.

Upon arrival, he finds that the medical profession has been transformed, with doctors now functioning under rigid guidelines. Encountering the "Medical Union," a collective that dictates doctors' conduct, our doctor must reconcile his outdated medical philosophy with the harsh realities and restrictions of modern medicine.
