Mad Hatters at the Helm
A five-book dark comedy about workplace psychological abuse — an ED nurse's descent through a 'high-performing' hospital unit, told as an Oz allegory in reverse.
Every statistic is real. Every corporation is fictional. The distance is the point.
- I
Redacted
OnboardingA new ER nurse falls down the rabbit hole of a 'high-performing' unit, where the orientation packet is the first lie.
- II

IsolationThe first move of institutional abuse — cut the target off, one reassignment and rescinded invitation at a time.
- III

GaslightingManufactured chaos as management: when the schedule, the story, and the rules change daily so nothing can be proven.
- IV
Redacted
FearA unit governed by fear, where 'caution' is the cover for control and everyone learns to police themselves.
- V
Redacted
ReckoningThe way out, and its cost — when the institution protects itself and the person who caused the harm keeps her chair.
