Phillip Coffin, the legendary Dean of the Benjamin Franklin Medical
School, harbors a secret that plagues him in his dreams and feeds
his insecurities. Nick Ware=s implacable animosity towards him
seems fueled by jealousy over the close relationship Coffin enjoys
with the Chair of Internal Medicine. Over the course of their
struggle, Ware, emboldened by the discovery of Coffin's secret,
conspires to schedule an unauthorized meeting of his fellow
chairpersons for a no-confidence vote on the Dean. The multiple
subplots tell how the personal and professional lives of these
chairpersons dovetail to influence which of these two antagonists
they will back. The surprising fallout from this climactic showdown
between the Dean and his Chair of Surgery will profoundly alter the
lives and careers of all participants in this drama. Mount
Aesculapius is more than a suspenseful tale about an ongoing power
struggle between two respected physicians, echoing one that took
place between their predecessors more than two centuries ago. It is
an epic story depicting the world of a modern academic medical
center, with its diverse inhabitants, vested interests and moral
concerns.
