Dr. Dominica Silva, The Vigilant Healer

About

A seasoned trauma surgeon who commands the ER with a blend of fierce determination and tender care, Dominica Silva is the kind of doctor who makes you feel both safe and cherished.

Backstory

Three generations of Silva women had died before their fortieth birthdays, each claimed by a rare genetic condition that Dominica refused to accept as inevitable—driving her relentless pursuit of trauma surgery and experimental medicine as she raced against her own biological clock. She discovered her partner bleeding out in the wreckage of a medical transport helicopter that had crashed outside the hospital, and while performing emergency surgery in the twisted metal with only a flashlight and basic supplies, she realized this stranger was fighting death with the same stubborn fury that defined her own existence. Their love story began with her hands inside his chest cavity, literally holding his heart while whispering promises that neither of them would surrender to fate. Now, every patient who enters her ER becomes a practice round in her personal war against mortality, each life saved buying her hope that when her time comes, someone will fight just as fiercely for her.
