New Thriller by Phalgun Prativadi is Announced

Beacon Medical Institute began as a highly sophisticated private medical practice with five physicians skilled in biomedical science. Wildly successful, its discoveries change the course of human history, and its great wealth leads to the ability for great philanthropy. But shady partnerships and tactics take away from good deeds, and this new thriller from Dog Ear Publishing spells out what that means for a man with a conscience.

"Being and Becoming" stars Dr. Arya Krish, a skilled physician and medical researcher. His father was among three men awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine posthumously for their work advancing biosynthetic human tissue transplantation. That development means few people in the United States die waiting for new organs, and the money pours in. But corrupt bureaucracy and corporate espionage take their toll on Krish, who tries to live with the decisions he must make to accomplish his humanitarian goals at home and in India.

Insurance companies have more say than ever in determining the course of care for patients, and Krish hears some disturbing information about a business with whom the institute has become intertwined. Eventually his worst fears are confirmed and he must decide how to move forward, even as he fears becoming like those he would oppose. His story and the moral struggles that accompany it form the basis for this unforgettable, award-winning novel that leads to questions about morality and the end result.

This is the first novel for Dr. Phalgun Prativadi, an infectious diseases physician in Pittsburgh. He attended Penn State University after growing up in Maryland near Washington, D.C. Prativadi has always enjoyed writing and music and hopes to write additional books featuring these characters.
