The Carey Treatment (1972)

In the bustling world of Boston Memorial Hospital, we meet Dr. Peter Carey, a dedicated pathologist with an analytical mind that doesn't settle for the surface truth. An unexpected tragedy strikes the hospital when Karen Randall, the 15-year-old daughter of the hospital's stern Chief of Staff, Dr. Randall, is found lifeless. Her death isn't just a tragic loss. It's shrouded in scandal - Karen was four months pregnant, and the blamed culprit is none other than Carey's close friend, Dr. David Tao. Tao, known for performing illicit abortions, is accused of causing Karen's death. The young girl had sought his services but met a fatal end, bleeding out and pointing her finger at Tao in her last breaths. Despite Tao's admission of refusal due to her advanced pregnancy, suspicion hangs heavily over him. Carey, unable to reconcile this grim picture of his friend, dives into the case, even if it means colliding with the formidable Dr. Randall. As Carey delves deeper into the labyrinth of Karen's death, he uncovers troubling questions that ripple through the hospital's sterile corridors. Was Tao truly responsible for the abortion that led to Karen's demise? Did the girl hide the truth about her pregnancy? And how do these questions intersect with a menacing puzzle involving stolen morphine, clandestine blackmail attempts, and a mysterious masseur whose presence seems to weave a dangerous thread through the narrative? "The Carey Treatment" is a storm of suspicion and intrigue, where every corner turned reveals a new mystery, and the search for truth becomes a race against time and deception. Brace yourself as Dr. Carey navigates the twisted path of secrets that could shatter lives or salvage the tarnished reputation of a friend.
