Plot summary
Noah Praetorius is a physician on a medical school faculty, and the clinic he started cares for patients in a humane and holistic way. A colleague, Rodney Elwell, dislikes his unorthodox methods and hires a detective to look into him, while Praetorius's friend Shunderson is seldom far from his side. Deborah Higgins, a student, collapses during a class demonstration, and Praetorius sends her to a doctor. Her lab results reach him, and he tells her that she is pregnant. She is unmarried, will not name the father, and fears what the news would do to her father, a man dependent on his stingy brother and proud of her alone.
