Past Aghast
You read about it in the headlines - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been blamed for a number of behavioral health issues for war veterans but can it cause a person to do heinous deeds which they might otherwise never do in a hundred lifetimes?

Because of his horrendous battleground experiences in Iraq, Colonel Jack Bass, MD, US Army, (ret.), has been left emotionally scarred with severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Jack constantly struggles to manage his severe PTSD and is sometimes unaware of his actions while under the influence of this unwelcome mental demon. As the new Chairman of Anesthesia at Southern Medical Center, Jack Bass thought he'd retired into the tame, civilian job he'd dreamt of, but a series of bizarre murders and deaths have occurred at Southern Medical Center and Jack has unwittingly been swept into the investigation - he soon discovers that his history of PTSD has somehow made him a prime suspect and realizes that a "trial of peers" may have already given him a death sentence!

Jack must determine for the sake of his own sanity, as well as clearing his name, if his PTSD has gone beyond just a cause of recurrent nightmares and has transformed him into a cold-blooded killer.

It can't possibly be true, but...?

About the Author

Ed Dasso's works of fiction leverage many of his "stranger than fiction" experiences from years of practice at major medical centers and community hospitals.

"You might be surprised at some of the events in the books that are based on an actual experience."

Fiction writing is reviving a lost love from earlier periods in his life where he enjoyed writing short stories. Look for additional books soon in the "Jack Bass Black Cloud Chronicles" series.

In addition to a number of years as a practicing anesthesiologist and critical care specialist, he has published articles in national healthcare journals, written many "Ask the Doctor" columns and has spoken frequently at national healthcare forums. He has also been instrumental in designing and deploying population health programs to help people deal with depression related to poor health.
