Author and surgeon John Opie writes a revealing novel about a common process that exists in nearly every business today in Peer Review: Your Big Brother is Watching. 

Dr. Opie’s novel begins with Dr. Alex Simms battling a malicious attack by his colleagues. 

As Simms travels an apocalyptic journey through the dangerous adversarial process of sham peer review, he learns what he’s up against.  

Opie brings to light the federal, state, and local laws that govern the process.  Designed to discredit those under review, panel members who sit in judgment are granted full immunity irrespective of process or ethics.  Dr. Simms finds his future looking very bleak, despite his stellar medical career. 

The fourth part of Opie’s novel transcends the lives of doctors and hospitals.  He expertly interweaves how peer review has been in place for thousands of years.  Citing cataclysmic events that date back to biblical times, his narration describes how each of them was an actual peer review process gone awry.   

The result is a shocking, explicit and true account of just how some in power have been abusing peer review immunity to the detriment of humanity since the beginning of time.
