In the Pink of Wealth by Sumit Ghoswal
The management of Gopalji Damji Charitable Hospital in Bombay
suddenly decides to terminate the contracts of 14 of its most senior
doctors. The plan devised by chief trustee Madhavji Shah and medical
director Jagdish Choksi backfires when another trustee, Prashant
Kadakia, leaks the story to the Morning Post newspaper. A blaze of
publicity follows. But Kadakia’s real intention is to take over the control of
the hospital. Before he can do that, he must raise more than Rs 25
crore in fresh funding, break up a strike and win over the top
management team to his side.
The novelist has painted a rich portrait of the intricacies of the medical
profession — of not just doctors handling patients along with
professional pressures but also of the insensitive management of
hospitals which cares for nothing more than its name, fame and profit. -
Deepti Laroia, The Tribune
Cleverly using the mode of fiction, Ghoshal virtually runs a scalpel
across the medical fraternity, hospital managements and red-tape-
riddled health centres… The narrative is easy; the style lucid. - The
Indian Express
The book is an insider’s view of the medical profession. It lucidly
captures the murk that lies behind the walls of the hospitals. - The
Asian Age
A medical-cum-boardroom drama. - Businessworld
