physician horror novel

The power dynamic. Physicians are supposed to heal, but in these novels, they often use their knowledge for evil. For example, in 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', Dr. Jekyll's position as a respected doctor makes his transformation into the evil Mr. Hyde even more shocking.

One horror story could be a situation where a patient was pressured into it. Maybe the family was tired of taking care of the patient and subtly influenced the decision for physician - assisted suicide. The patient might not have been fully in a state of mind to make such a huge decision, but felt forced due to family dynamics.

One horror story could be a physician assistant misdiagnosing a serious condition as something minor. For example, mistaking early signs of a heart attack for indigestion. This led to the patient not getting the proper immediate treatment and the situation worsening over time.

One horror story could be a physician wrongly accused in the program. Maybe there was a misinterpretation of their medical condition or a false positive on a drug test. As a result, they were immediately suspended from practice, which not only damaged their reputation but also caused financial hardships as they couldn't earn their regular income.

One horror story is when a pregnant woman in a rural area went into early labor. There was no nearby obgyn available. She had to be rushed to a hospital hours away. By the time she got there, she was in a critical condition and nearly lost her baby. It was a terrifying experience all because of the lack of obgyns in the region.

One reason could be the ethical and moral complexity involved. Different people have strong and opposing views on it, which can lead to disturbing tales.

Another is 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley. Although Victor Frankenstein is more of a scientist than a traditional physician, his creation has elements of horror and his actions are similar to those of a doctor meddling with life and death. The consequences of his unethical 'medical' practices are truly horrifying.

There could be various aspects to such a 'horror story'. It might involve a situation where a patient was pressured into choosing physician - assisted suicide, perhaps due to financial reasons or family pressure. Another possibility could be that the medical assessment was inaccurate, and a patient who could have recovered was given the option of assisted suicide. In Sweden, while physician - assisted suicide has regulations, there could be instances where these regulations are not followed as strictly as they should be, leading to what some would call a 'horror story'.

One consequence is long wait times for patients. In rural areas especially, with a shortage of physicians, people might have to wait weeks or even months to see a doctor for non - emergency but still important health issues. This delay can lead to worsening of conditions.

😋I recommend the following two novels to you: "Tsundere Doctor: Don't even think about escaping": The main character is a top-notch doctor with a special identity. The plot is realistic and believable. There are no fantasy elements or systems. If you want to read modern romance novels, this book is perfect. [Doctor's Life Simulation: This is a modern city-urban life novel. The main character is a doctor, and he has obtained a life simulator system.] Although there were system elements, the plot was very realistic. There were no Qigong or cultivation elements. If you like doctor-themed novels, you can read this book. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
