The Life and Times of Benjamin Wiggins, M.D.

The Life and Times of Benjamin Wiggins, M.D., is the prequel to Medical Grail. Ben Wiggins, an irascible octogenarian, pits his wits and spunk against a group of doctors who seize tax funds to purchase a CT scanner for themselves in Whitney, a derelict town in the middle of Arizona's Sonoran Desert.

Outraged by their brazen attempt to rip-off the community, Ben faces lawsuits and libelous assaults as he tries to block the purchase. Evelyn Cooper, his companion and confidant, and Peter Henry, a lifelong friend, help expose the hoax that will double the cost of healthcare to the town's impoverished citizens.
