Deadly Choices

 

Alex Lowe has painful memories of Richland Memorial Hospital. Five years earlier she watched helplessly as her mother spent her final days of life in bed three of the ICU, suffering needlessly before succumbing to the ravages of metastatic colon cancer. Now as a nurse at Richland, Alex finds herself working in the same intensive care unit, determined to do what she can to prevent the unnecessary suffering of terminally ill patients and banish the demons that have plagued her since her mother's death. Because of her compassionate nature, Alex agrees to help several patients end their lives to prevent further suffering in their final days of life. When her activities are discovered by Gerald Warren, the hospital administrator, Alex gets drawn into an unethical plan Gerald has devised to save the hospital money by taking the lives of hospitalized patients who are costing the hospital money because of their lack of insurance or ability to pay for their care. Faced with the possibility of spending life in prison because of her actions, Alex must decide if she will continue to take the lives of innocent patients or go to the authorities to stop Gerald's deadly plan.
