Though he is considered inept by family, neighbors, and even his mentor, Dr. Weir discovers he has a gift for phlebotomy, treating patients by bleeding them to purifytheir bodies. But when an experimental procedure goes horribly wrong, Dr. Weir is forced to start over, relocating his family to Trenton, New Jersey, and taking a position at the New Jersey State Asylum for Female Lunatics. There, in the hopes of provinghis detractors wrong, Dr. Weir continues practicing dangerous procedures, and soon becomes infatuated with Brigit - a pregnant woman he treats - whom he tries to take her under his wing as an apprentice. As Dr. Weir's experiments grow more intense - and as he isolates himself from his family and the world beyond the facility - he grows obsessed with Brigit and the other residents who remain at his mercy, and before long, establishes himself as "the father of gyno-psychiatry.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Physicians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Phlebotomy $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Medical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240601011958.0 952 $l BFPA251 $d 20240523102724.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20240523010840.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240523010321.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20240521011640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82578124173711EFA068004147ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
