Bad Medicine

Set against the backdrop of a medical crisis, the narrative follows Dr. Push Foster as he confronts a pneumonia-like illness affecting young Navajo patients. Despite enlisting help from CDC experts, he discovers that scientific explanations fail to resonate with the Navajo community, who attribute the outbreak to deeper, spiritual imbalances. As he navigates this complex situation, Push learns about the limitations of medical science and the profound impact of cultural beliefs. The novel is rich in imagery, blending elements of modern plagues with timeless themes of good and evil.
