The Drug Dealer

Who better to write a medical drama than a physician? Semi-retired doctor and author Henry Rex Greene once again delves into the medical world in his latest novel The Drug Dealer.

After leaving a wonderful career in California, Dr. Max King undergoes quite an odyssey, leading to a job in Ohio with Dr. Kumar, an oncologist who is secretly selling drugs to local high school students. Max’s poignant new experiences include creating a palliative care program. Providing this end-of-life care to patients motivates him to obtain board certification in his great passion, hospice and palliative medicine.

Max’s new employer ends up losing his medical license and blames Max. After firing Max, Dr. Kumar then rehires him out of desperation. Max and another physician try to help Dr. Kumar with his rehabilitation, but he remains in denial and ends up an alcoholic.

This timely story about drug use, greed, and their connection to healthcare makes for an exciting read.
