On February 10 1991 Elliot Gilbert a sixtyyearold professor of English checked into a major medical center for routine prostate surgery Twentyfour hours later he was pronounced dead in the recovery room To this day no one from the hospital has told his family how or why he died In Wrongful Death his widow has produced a searingly frank account of one familys experience with a kind of medical disaster that occurs surprisingly often but is alltoorarely discussed in a political arena dominated by concerns about the escalating costs of malpractice insurance As her story unfolds Sandra Gilbert describes the numbing shock into which she and her children were plunged by her husbands inexplicable death as well as the stages of grief they endured as they struggled to come to terms with their loss But her major focus is on the process of discovery through which with the help of friends and lawyers they began to learn something about what had happened to Elliot What are the implications of such a medical tragedy for the deceased and for his survivors How does it feel to confront the possibility that a loved one has suffered what the law calls a wrongful death As she examines the bewildering complexity of the legal social and medical questions surrounding adverse events like the one that killed her husband Gilbert shows how vulnerable we all are to the power of the healthcare establishment.
