Sophy Smythe My guilty pleasure.

People often ask: “Why would a medical doctor write thrillers?”

Here’s the truth:
To paraphrase T.S. Eliot: Healthcare is "a wilderness of mirrors."
After decades in the medical world, I’ve seen and heard things I’ll never be able to share—because of doctor-patient privilege, confidentiality, or simply because some stories are too disturbing.

So what do I do?
I take a real medical scandal.
I dissect it.
I reassemble it into a story that grips, shocks, and makes you think.
Every thriller I write is grounded in fact—but you’ll never quite know where the truth ends and the fiction begins.

As Salman Rushdie said:
“When a baby is born, the first thing he asks for is love and care and food. When that is provided, he asks: Tell me a story.”

That’s what I do.
When facts become too frightening, fiction helps us face them.
What is your take?

CBRetriever and your post needs to be in the Author's Corner not in the part of the forum for official group reads
