Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Aldric Fenn was discharged from the hospital on a Wednesday afternoon. His vitals were stable. His disorientation had resolved. Every entry in his chart was accurate. Forty-seven minutes later, he died in the parking structure.No one made an error. The record said so. The review confirmed it.Nora Vass has been a charge nurse for seventeen years. She knows what post-anesthesia disorientation looks like. She documented Fenn's condition carefully, handed him off correctly, and drove home without thinking about him. Or tried to.Dr. Callum Searre is a hospitalist who reads every chart before he signs. He read Fenn's. He found it coherent, stable, and entirely defensible. He has now read it six times.What neither of them can account for is the gap - the space between what Aldric Fenn experienced in his hospital bed and what the record was built to hold. He said he felt off. He said something wasn't quite right. He said it felt like a sound you can't quite hear. Each time, someone listened. Each time, the documentation moved on.The Transfer of Care is a novel about what accurate records cannot contain - and about two people trying to understand the distance between a clinical document and the experience of the person it describes.
