Description


A young female doctor faces the violence, debauchery, and larger-than-life characters of a New Orleans surgery in this funny and gritty medical novel.

New Orleans, 1982. Voodoo spells, prostitutes, prisoners, and veterans who are adamant about the size of their manhood--it's all just another day at Charity Hospital, also known as The Big Free. It's a medical free-for-all with the toughest trauma surgery in America, and Elizabeth--fresh from medical school in Charleston, wearing pearls and pink plaid socks--is one of the first women to work there.

Half of the doctors who start the surgery program never finish. Nothing in her proper Southern upbringing prepared Elizabeth for the gritty and gruesome world she now experiences on a daily basis. And even if she's tougher than anyone first expected, the question remains . . . will she make the cut?

Full of drama, humor, and New Orleans flavor, The Big Free is a young doctor's coming of age story as only a true medical insider can tell it.
