Code Five – Frank G. Slaughter

Description

Code Five by Frank G. Slaughter is a gripping medical drama that dives into the chaos and complexities of emergency medicine. Set in St. Luke’s Hospital, a facility struggling with overcrowding, understaffing, and a tarnished reputation, the book follows Dr. Jud Taylor, a disillusioned, war-wounded physician who finds himself caught in the middle of a dire situation.

As the hospital faces its breaking point, a Code Five emergency is declared, signaling an urgent, trained-team response. This code overrides everything else and demands immediate action to save lives, and, in this case, it is the fate of St. Luke’s that hangs in the balance. As Taylor faces the truth about his role in the hospital and the impact of his decisions, he must navigate a challenging landscape filled with pressure, trauma, and the question of whether it is too late to save what has already been lost.

A powerful story about the resilience of healthcare professionals and the struggles within a failing medical institution, Code Five offers a deep dive into the challenges of emergency care and the human side of medicine.
