A Riveting Novel Inspired by Real-Life Medical Ethics Scandals — Based on a True Story
By Joan Dominique Clancy
Published by Stolen Dreams Editions
When Bree Calloway rushes her mother, Bridget, to the emergency room after three failed visits to her general practitioner, neither anticipates the devastating ordeal ahead. Bridget’s seemingly minor symptoms—a persistent cough, relentless fatigue, alarming redness in her eyes, and dangerously abnormal blood tests—quickly escalate into a catastrophic medical crisis that traps her inside the intensive care unit for months.
Misdiagnosed. Neglected. Silenced.
Bridget suffers severe systemic inflammation, leading to multi-organ failure—ravaging her lungs, kidneys, and respiratory system. Overnight, the roles shift: a daughter becomes a lifeline, a hospital becomes a battleground, and trust becomes a fatal gamble.
Years later, the truth begins to surface.
While uncovering a hidden paper trail of erased data, falsified records, and procedures performed without consent, Bree stumbles upon a haunting possibility: something irreversible may have been done—and no one ever intended her to find out.
Told through gripping diary entries and shocking revelations, Code Blue Lies is a searing work of fiction inspired by true events. Joan Dominique Clancy delivers a piercing chronicle of medical betrayal, institutional silence, and unshakable resilience. With unflinching emotional depth and legal-thriller intensity, this novel exposes the terrifying truth about what can happen when power goes unchecked and patients become experiments.
At its core, Code Blue Lies is both a warning and a call to action—an urgent reminder of the price of uncovering the truth, and the power of patient advocacy in the face of systemic abuse.
When those entrusted to save lives become the greatest threat, will you stay silent—or stand for justice?
If it could happen to Bree’s family, could it happen to yours?
Perhaps it already has.
