Mark Aquino, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Mark Aquino is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and registered nurse whose healthcare background includes urgent care, locked inpatient psychiatric and mental-health settings, home health, and hospice care.

His professional experience has placed him in environments where incomplete histories, unexplained symptoms, diagnostic uncertainty, emotional distress, and unexpected turns are part of everyday clinical work.

Flatline Files grew from a simple question:

What if medical case studies were transformed into suspenseful stories people actually wanted to read?

Mark’s interest in horror, mystery, medicine, and storytelling became the foundation for Flatline Files—a fictional world where every chart may hide something, ordinary symptoms can open the door to extraordinary possibilities, and some cases refuse to end at discharge.

Clinically Informed, Entirely Fictional

The stories on Flatline Files may draw inspiration from general medical knowledge, healthcare environments, diagnostic reasoning, folklore, and the unsettling uncertainty found in medicine.

They are not patient case reports. Characters, facilities, histories, clinical findings, and events are fictionalized or invented. Identifiable patient information is not intentionally used.

Medical details may be simplified, altered, or dramatized for creative purposes. Flatline Files is entertainment and does not provide medical advice.

Editorial Role

Mark selects story concepts and reviews, edits, and approves material published under his name. Artificial-intelligence tools may assist with brainstorming, outlining, drafting, editing, research organization, images, or production workflows.

Human judgment remains responsible for the final published work.
