VIGIL IN THE NIGHT, By A. J. Cronin.

Cronin begins by jumping directly into what is usually, perversely, labelled a sacrifice, for personal and sentimental reasons of loyalty, but is an ethical horror - a clean person taking the blame for someone guilty, not by mistake, but due to fault of character. Horror is this faulty character being allowed to continue in position of responsibility that the person doesn't quite appreciate. 

Fortunately the narrative snaps out of it sending the protagonist to a better situation in a larger place with much to attend to, much to learn, and much to face in life. 

Cronin deals this time, too, with the world of medical profession and hospitaks, surgeries and patients, but the protagonist is a nurse, istead of his usual doctors; and he deals with the travails they faced for years - neglect of their needs and more. 

A couple of twists past, it all ends satisfactorily, in almost every way.
