How to Blow Up a Hospital (Novel), Tucson, AZ

(c) Desiree Bustos

A literary thriller that follows a young doctor as she stumbles through residency and uncovers the dangers of private equity in the American healthcare system.

“I hope my novel entertains readers, honestly and humorously portrays the challenges of medical residency, and raises the awareness needed to curtail the intrusion of private equity into healthcare.”

Dr. Melody Glenn, MD MFA is a Tucson author and physician. Her first book, a hybrid memoir entitled, “How Can You Walk Away,” is forthcoming from Beacon Press in 2025. A Tin House Workshop Alum with an MFA from Mills College, her creative nonfiction has been published or is forthcoming in “River Teeth,” “Annals of Emergency Medicine,” “Prehospital Emergency Care,” “Mutha Magazine,” and “FemInEM.” She is an assistant professor of addiction and emergency medicine at The University of Arizona.
