Set in the inner realm of hospitals, First, Do No Harm tells the story of the parallel journeys of two women from very different worlds but both African American. Elissa Kerry, a surgeon with a terminally ill son, and Mattie Clester, whose grandson dies on Elissa’s operating table. First, Do No Harm explores today’s ubiquitous themes of medical ethics, medical error and racial profiling.
