Reseña del libro "Remembrance Acres: The Golden Years of Super-Heroes (en Inglés)"

What happened when Maximum Woman literally became too big for her britches? How did immortality kill Perpetual Man? How did The Silver Ballerina cope when her triumphant theme music faded away, and she succumbed to paralysis? The Golden Years of Super-Heroes aren't always golden, especially when the super ones live out their final days in Remembrance Acres - in poor health - and Gardner Flookz is their only advocate. Flookz is a medical malpractice claims adjuster at a hospital where the medical system is a nightmare, in a town populated by ambulance chasers, profiteers, space cadets, wizards, vampires, slumming gods, and down-on-their-luck superheroes. This brainy crusader flunked out of medical and law school, but gained enough understanding to swagger through both worlds. Remembrance Acres is an imaginative, humorous, pathetic and satirical tale, in the tradition of Jonathan Swift. This clever contemporary collection of 42 stories is a canny insider's view of the healthcare industry. The story cycle examines important legal issues - medical malpractice, informed consent, privacy, insurance and reimbursement, work-force reduction, fraud and abuse, death and dying - in a fantasy world which mirrors today's reality.
