So there is my book title + subtitle (and elevator pitch) all rolled up tight in as few words as possible.
And accompanied by a cover illustration.
At the top of the illustration and misted by aerial perspective is the overwhelmingly anonymous massiveness of the Columbia Presbyterian medical centre's main building, set across a dark blue sky filled with whitish stars.
The only rooms brightly lit in the night-darkened complex are three tiny rooms in a horizontal row, glowing with an unearthly green-yellow light.
Set below this misty darkness is the foregrounded and clearly lit and in focus ensemble of a triumphant "victory" linking of the upraised arms of Miss HH , Charles Aronson and Dr Martin Henry Dawson, the two patients in wheelchairs with penicillin drip bottles on either side of their doctor.
(Dr Dawson also is in a wheelchair with an smaller oxygen feed as he is recovering from an almost routine 'MG crisis').
Linking to the upraised other arms of HH and Charlie are the upraised arms of project supporters , Dr Thomas H Hunter and Floyd Odlum, both in crutches.
All those linked arms across the full width of the cover area suggests a human weft re-connecting the separated warps of the human fabric.
Standing behind Dr Dawson are his wife Marjorie with her cane and Dr Dante Colitti (his former arthritis patient) in crutches.
The two penicillin bottles are unnaturally big and raised up unnaturally high and they are glowing with a strange greenish yellow glow, the same color as the light from the three tiny rooms.
The two penicillin drip bottles glow on each side of the main title.
The subtitle is in few lines , in a much smaller font size, below the illustration....
