Hospital phobics will really find this a terror trip! March 6, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book contains the standard medical plot-- this time, murder by cardiac needle and a full list of arrogant, stupid, or criminally inept doctors. It's unbelievable sometimes-- would a hospital really axe 100 hospital beds just to "save on water and laundry costs" without even knowing what those costs are? The really scary part of this medical thriller is... what if some of its plotline about emergency room treatment is really true? After all, the author is an EM doc and should know. Patients on "managed care" denied emergency treatment, shoved off on a gurney in a hall somewhere and left to die from lack of attention... one, lone resident guarding an ICU unit at night... ambulances continuing to drop off patients for whom there is no room... The medical plot might be chilling, but the ER itself will freeze you down to your bones. Don't go to a big-city ER room unless you've got "pay for service" care and a lot of courage.
