Strophantus gegen Tod durch Unterlassung - und niemand ist schuld?

A patient dies of a heart attack after successfully undergoing a harmless appendectomy. The attending professor did not administer any strophanthin, which the patient usually takes, for more than two days. The doctor is unaware of any wrongdoing, as he believes he acted correctly according to medical standards. The patient's wife initiates a lawsuit that leads to a court ruling. The narrative is woven together by elements of blackmail, an attempted murder, and the formation of lasting friendships based on shared ideals, with Saul transforming into Paul. Additional themes include coping with a beloved deceased and reflections from the hospice movement. Touching yet never sentimental moments prompt the reader to grapple with questions such as: What do I do when my partner dies? Are there rituals that can help me continue living alone?.
