When Seattle family doctor Linda Gromko receives an implausible inheritance from a former patient, the windfall jolts her life – already out of balance from the demands of her profession. She reshuffles her life priorities and vows to find a life partner once and for all. Browsing on the Internet with “I’d like to meet a nice Democrat,” she finds Steve – a businessman who is “irreverently funny, gifted at banter, and loyal as a beagle.” But while Steve brings joy, he also brings complications to the doctor’s life. For one, there is Steve’s nine-year-old daughter Brita, who stares the doctor down with “I hate every centimeter of you – get used to it!” The more serious complication, however, is Steve’s health. Known to have diabetes and high blood pressure for years, Steve falls precipitously into the abyss of Acute Kidney Failure. Without a transplant or dialysis, Steve will certainly die within one to two weeks. “Complications” takes the reader on a tumultuous ride of medical and personal trials, as Dr. Gromko exerts the most powerful advocacy of her life. The book is “R” rated: “R” for language, and “R” for reality!
