If you have read all my blogs, you have discovered I love to read! I read
almost every genre, usually alternating between fiction and non-fiction. I have
just finished reading Kate O'Reilly's first novel, and I loved it. One thing
that indicates a riviting read is how fast I go through it - and this was a very
good read.
I first discovered Kate through her blog - Kate vs World. You can read her

This book is the story of an anesthesiologist, Dr. Jenna Reiner, who is
being sued for medical malpractice after a drug addict with Hepatitis C injects
herself with a controlled substance from the operating room and replaces the
contaminated syringe with saline solution, leaving it to be used by an
unsuspecting doctor. The lawsuit is filed by a ruthless attorney, Allison
Anders, and the deposition scene is incredible. The lawsuit devastates Dr.
Reiner, and affects everyone around her.
Dr. Reiner is totally believable and likeable. She has a supportive husband
and beautiful daughter. The book is not overloaded with medical or legal terms
as is sometimes the case. I highly recommend this book and I am looking forward
to her next book.

Anesthesiologist, Dr. Jenna Reiner, was
blindsided on a January morning by an incident that would forever change her
life. A scrub technician at her hospital was stealing narcotics from
anesthesiologists, injecting those same narcotics into her veins, and returning
the contaminated syringes, knowing they would be used on patients. The scrub
tech was infected with hepatitis C, a deadly virus.
Unknowingly,
anesthesiologists at St. Augustine Hospital were injecting their patients with
hepatitis C laden syringes. When Dr. Jenna Reiner administered anesthesia, she
was holding a murder weapon in her hands. Dr. Reiner was about to find out that
not only was her hospital at risk, but her entire life was about to be turned
upside down. A scrub tech’s addiction evolves into a public health scare,
potentially affecting thousands. Unfortunately, on that fateful day, Dr. Reiner
and her patient fell victim to an addict.
The ensuing medical malpractice suit
filed by Allison Anders, a ruthless attorney, becomes a battle for survival for
Jenna and her family. For Dr. Reiner, the lawsuit is personal. Jenna Reiner
faces more demons than she thought imaginable as she fights against greed,
brutality, accusations, and a corrupt legal system. Will Dr. Reiner prevail? Or
will the system win? Inspired by true events, IT’S NOTHING PERSONAL is a story
of endurance and pain beyond imagination.
