The hand that wields the scalpel
Dr. Hope Sze launches into her general surgery rotation with Dr. Vrac, the scourge of operating room #3, also known as the death OR.
Dr. Vrac screams at the resident doctors suffering under him, the nurses who don’t move fast enough, the anesthesiologist, his auto mechanic, and even a garbage can.
Patients begin to die under Dr. Vrac’s scalpel.
This morning, Hope discovers a dead man in the back of the OR.
Next, a ghost lingers outside of Montreal’s St. Joseph’s Hospital.
a) WTF and b) can Hope outwit the enraged killer before someone slices her throat?
