CHAPTER 21

T

ina Ridgeway was standing in the lobby of Chelsea General answering a resident’s question about surgical versus nonsurgical approaches for Parkinson’s disease when Buck Tierney, the chief of cardiothoracic surgery, strutted through the main entrance with the hospital CEO, Morgan Smith. Tierney always strutted rather than walked, chest out, chin up, like some sort of rooster, but now he was grinning from ear to ear, slapping Smith on the back like they were fraternity brothers at Michigan on the way to the big game.

Tina looked around for some sort of explanation for this ebullience. She didn’t trust Tierney and his outsized ego. If he was showboating with the CEO, something was up. Out of the corner of her eye, Tina saw the chief of medicine, Dr. Nicholas Brenkovski, heading for the elevator.

“Excuse me,” she said to the resident and half walked, half ran to catch up with him. Tina was friends with Brenkovski and his wife. They each had a house near South Beach in Edgartown, on Martha’s Vineyard, and would sometimes have each over for cocktails and boiled lobster. Tina caught him just before he got on the elevator.

“Nick, could I have a word?”

The two doctors stepped out of the stream of traffic heading to and from the elevator.

“Tina, how are you?” Even though he had been in the United States for more than twenty years, Nick retained a trace of his Russian accent.
