Dissection

Jacinta Halloran

Dr Anna McBride has been sued for medical negligence - a case of delayed diagnosis necessitating the amputation of a young man's leg.

As the date for mediation draws closer, Anna's world begins to fray at the edges. Her daily work as a doctor, once routine, becomes increasingly difficult as she scrutinises her every action and questions her worth.

Deeply ashamed of her mistake, she retreats into family life, only to become aware of her husband's growing interest in a younger woman. As the lawyers' demands become ever more pressing, Anna also vaguely senses someone else's cries for attention - someone who wishes her harm.

Will her work, her marriage, her family survive?
