Bedridden: A Novella

Bol

Can Breakdown Lead To... Breakthrough? Fresh out of medical school and uncertain what to do next, Dr. Calvin Bloom decides to take a road trip and spend a year focusing on his writing. What he expects to be a liberating journey of self-discovery is instead overshadowed by a mysterious illness that threatens to break him both physically and mentally. Feeling helpless and defeated, Calvin returns home to Boston to recover-only to discover that the botched adventure was not in vain. In the end, the breakdown leads to a breakthrough: a deeper understanding of himself and what he wants to do with his life. Under the mentorship of a retired doctor, Calvin opens the Bloom Center, a mental health clinic in the woods of Concord, Massachusetts. But it's his first patient, Kendall, who pushes him to begin Project Breakthrough-a revolutionary approach to healing that sparks radical personality changes. The therapy? Making people sick.
