A gripping, thought-provoking medical drama about failure, accountability, and redemption — from CNN’s chief medical correspondent and practicing neurosurgeon, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
 
In Monday Mornings, Sanjay Gupta, M.D. offers a rare, authentic glimpse into the high-stakes world of modern medicine. Drawing on his own experience as a neurosurgeon, Gupta crafts a compelling narrative that balances technical precision with emotional resonance.
 
At Chelsea General Hospital, the doctors meet every week for Monday Mornings — the Morbidity and Mortality conference where mistakes are examined and lessons are learned. Behind closed doors, surgeons face the hardest truth in medicine: even the best make errors. Through the intersecting lives of five doctors, Monday Mornings explores the price of perfection and the humanity that drives those who hold life in their hands.
 
The novel delves into the lives of dedicated, flawed doctors — their triumphs, failures, and moments of reckoning — revealing how much courage and compassion it takes to face imperfection. Both an engrossing drama and a meditation on healing, Monday Mornings captures what it means to save lives — and to live with the weight of those you cannot.
 
Adapted into a TNT television series, this debut novel showcases Gupta’s gift for storytelling, insight, and empathy, making it essential reading for fans of medical fiction and real-world drama alike.
