The feds don't like it when a doctor's group overbills them. Two doctors, veterans of the ER battlefield and caught in the federal financial mess, decide to pull up stakes and go to a place they can make a difference and some money. On the other side of the country, a small town in northeastern Nevada has everything, a good tax base, a working community, friendly people, and the best Italian food west of New York City.

The feds don't like it when a doctor's group overbills them. Two doctors, veterans of the ER battlefield and caught in the federal financial mess, decide to pull up stakes and go to a place they can make a difference and some money. On the other side of the country, a small town in northeastern Nevada has everything, a good tax base, a working community, friendly people, and the best Italian food west of New York City. If this town is such a great place to live, why can't the residents find a doctor to take care of their medical needs? Drs. Abraham Bergman and Malcom York, partners in the practice of medicine, travel to Nevada to listen to a proposition pitched by a three-fingered mayor and a beautiful woman. The woman happens to own and operate the Sweet Box, a legal bordello that has been a part of the town since its establishment in the Wild West of old. In the meantime, times are changing, and a politician is running for higher office on a platform of morality. In this case, the specific morality of having bordellos participate in the civic structure of small towns in northeastern Nevada. But what is the moral fiber of the politician, and to what lengths would he go to close the Sweet Box and why? Add in an ex-Army helicopter pilot who also happens to be a flight nurse, his voluptuous pilot/nurse partner, a mysterious brilliant surgeon, and the very available ladies of the bordello and you have the story of the Sweet Box and the small town of Shangri-La in northeast Nevada.

Autorenporträt
Doctor Irv Danesh was born in Brooklyn, New York. Before he started kindergarten, he and his family had schlepped to five new homes because of his father's jobs. This was to be a recurrent theme throughout his life. Like the main character of his first novel Doctor Taco, Irv just didn't concentrate well in college. Women, and the lack of them, had a lot to do with that. After the rejections for admission to medical schools in the States arrived, Irv joined the diaspora of similar, slacker, pre-meds, and journeyed south of the border. Two years of cultural and academic re-education enabled Irv to trek back to the promised land of Brooklyn. More specifically, Irv was nurtured at the world's largest community hospital, Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center. This mega-hospital provided him enough stab wounds, gunshot wounds, blunt trauma, and general patient stupidity to regale his friends with stories for years to come. After two years of surgical training, he decided he didn't want to spend the rest of his life removing gallbladders or doing bariatric surgery. Being somewhat of an adrenalin junkie, he was in the right place at the right time to snag a residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in the new field of Emergency Medicine. He has practiced in inner-city Emergency Departments for thirty-six years. Dr. Irv's job statistically has a high rate of burnout. He fought through two of these periods, the first by moving to Boston and serving as Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Tufts School of Medicine. He continued his career as Associate Director of Emergency Medicine at the Lawrence General Hospital in Lawrence, Massachusetts. It was here that he had his second period of burnout. He again was in the right place at the right time, helping birth USA Network's Royal Pains. Irv started as the show's Medical Consultant, advancing over three seasons to Co-Producer. His MacGyver-like vignettes, such as skull-drilling, fishhook-chest-wall-stabilizing, and other pseudo-medical procedures, would never be allowed in conventional, AMA-approved medicine. Then again, Dr. Irv marches to his own drummer. Doctor Danesh can now be found at the freestanding E.R. in East Boston, working nights and dreaming of retirement. Doctor Brooklyn is the fictional account of a typical doctor's training in the high-acuity, high-pressure specialties of Surgery and Emergency Medicine. It is also the story of finding love while still being responsible for too many patients at all hours of the day and night. Dr. Irv lives in Marblehead, Massachusetts with his lovely and grammatically correct wife. He loves the change of seasons, except for the winter, which he curses every year. His three artistic sons, and one medically inclined son, all left for other parts of Massachusetts and New York. All in all, he would rather be in South Beach.
