HOSPITAL ANGEL PUBLISHED AUGUST 2022
by Jess Levins
Doctor Angel Carpenter is a doctor but is he an Angel? Angel is the former leader of the gang called the Angels. He is deeply religious and tries to do the right thing, but the right thing is not always legal. Angel is in charge of human trials for a cancer drug before it can be approved by the FDA. However, individuals with terminal cancer simply want the drug.
Some claim he is a real angel since his terminal cancer patients refuse to die; others feel he should be behind bars. He has developed a holistic method which he believes will increase the cure rate for the drug from forty percent to over ninety percent, but after twelve months, none of his patients have died. The drug could save millions of lives, but he is arrested as a serial killer. He keeps telling people he is not an angel, but the mob surrounding the hospital and his apartment do not believe him.
There is a cancerous antireligious organization that wants him deaddead, and this organization may be more difficult to treat than the cancer his patients face. They initially offered a million dollar for his death and then increased it to five million. Assassins converge on Miami for an easy kill and a huge reward. They failed to realize that one of the female cancer survivors belongs to a mafia family. She is indebted to Angel for saving her life, and she pays her debts.
