A gawky sixteen-year old girl thrashes about in obscene gestures,
shrieking in a strange language. In another context, she would be
called possessed; to her father, an important physician, she is
epileptic; but to Alex Licata chief neurology resident, she is a
fake. If Licata can prove her seizures hysterical, he will be a
hero. If not, he may be out of a job...
This is not four-year old BJ Balsiger's first hospital
admission, nor is it the first time the physicians have failed to
trace the source of his convulsions. Alex Licata's medical student,
Casey Lilstrom, has made a list of every possible condition the boy
could have, but all have tested negative. Yet somewhere on her list
is the solution to the mystery of BJ Balsiger, and Casey has
accepted Alex's challenge to find it, no matter what it
takes...
"The Children's Ward" chronicles a crucial week in the life of
Alex Licata. With his patients' fate almost out of control, Alex
must decide between the lucrative world of private practice and the
underpaid self-satisfactions of academic medicine; between his wife
and family and his attraction to Casey; between his obsession with
medicine and his needs as a man.
