Two books, both from the classroom and the field

One came out of graduate healthcare instruction. The other is the textbook Doug teaches from at Texas Wesleyan.

Cover of Code Gray by Dr. Douglas R. Williamson — Defusing Conflict and Negotiating Like a Pro in Healthcare

Code Gray

Defusing Conflict and Negotiating Like a Pro in Healthcare

Code Gray is real hospital shorthand for a combative situation. The book borrows the term because conflict in healthcare does not wait for a convenient moment. Written in a friendly, no-nonsense style, it walks healthcare professionals through the real skills of conflict resolution and negotiation — without the jargon, and without pretending the stakes aren't real.

  • Why raising your voice never wins an argument
  • The same negotiating tool hostage negotiators rely on
  • How to handle the coworker everyone tenses up around
  • Six practice scenarios pulled from real healthcare situations

Business Communications in the Modern Age of Artificial Intelligence

A business communications textbook for students who will never write without a machine

Written and published for the classroom Doug actually teaches. The book treats generative AI as a permanent condition of professional writing rather than a novelty or a threat, and focuses on what stays the writer's responsibility: audience, evidence, ethics, and accountability.
