A Unique Blend: Medical Meets Supernatural

Scott describes "Do Not Resuscitate" as a medical supernatural thriller that brings together elements reminiscent of "Ghost" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." He emphasizes its unique take on the medical thriller genre by incorporating a strong supernatural component. Drawing on his 30 years of experience as a physician, including time spent in the intensive care unit, Scott infuses authenticity into the medical aspects of the story.

The novel explores the intersection of life and death, medical errors, and the eerie atmosphere of hospitals after hours. Scott's background provides fertile ground for the captivating and mysterious narrative he creates.

The Story Unfolds: Meet Harry

In "Do Not Resuscitate," we quickly get to know Harry, an intern caught in the middle of medical crises and unusual occurrences. Facing accusations of incompetence, Harry finds himself questioning reality as he begins seeing and hearing ghosts. The novel delves into the stress and pressure Harry experiences, both from his personal life and his demanding role in a hospital setting.

Scott candidly shares how Harry mirrors his own experiences as an insecure, bumbling intern, making the character relatable and authentic.

Exploring Themes: Supernatural Beliefs and Medical Realities

As we dive deeper into the conversation, Scott and I discuss the supernatural elements in the book and the very real issues surrounding medical errors and protocols. I share some personal experiences with the medical system, which resonate closely with the challenges faced by characters in the novel.

Scott hopes readers take away underlying messages of dignity for the disabled, patient rights, and elder care rights from his book. He believes these issues are essential and underrepresented in both literature and society.

Upcoming Projects and Future Endeavors

I'm thrilled to share that Scott's writing journey doesn't stop with "Do Not Resuscitate." His upcoming book, "The Golem's Holocaust," set to release in May, combines historical fiction with supernatural elements, focusing on the mythological Golem during the Holocaust. This fresh approach to historical fiction promises to captivate readers with its unique narrative.

Scott's passion for storytelling and his dedication to writing are clearly evident. He shares insight into his writing process, revealing himself to be a 'pantser,' someone who prefers to discover the story as they write, rather than strictly outlining it. This approach allows for creative storytelling and unexpected twists, much to the delight of readers.

Conclusion

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Scott, and I know you'll find his novel "Do Not Resuscitate" just as captivating as I did. If you're eager to delve into a story where medical realism intertwines with the supernatural, I highly recommend picking up a copy of his book.
