Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:The explosive new thriller from New York Timesâ??bestselling author and master of the medical thriller, Robin Cook.
 
Lynn Peirce, a fourth-year medical student at South Carolinaâ??s Mason-Dixon University, thinks she has her life figured out. But when her otherwise healthy boyfriend, Carl, enters the hospital for routine surgery, her neatly ordered life is thrown into total chaos. Carl fails to return to consciousness after the procedure, and an MRI confirms brain death.
Devastated by Carlâ??s condition, Lynn searches for answers. Convinced thereâ??s more to the story than what the authorities are willing to reveal, Lynn uses all her resources at Mason-Dixonâ??including her initially reluctant lab partner, Michael Penderâ??to hunt down evidence of medical error or malpractice.
What she uncovers, however, is far more disturbing. Hospitals associated with Middleton Healthcare, including the Mason-Dixon Medical Center, have unnervingly high rates of unexplained anesthetic complications and patients contracting serious and terminal illness in the wake of routine hospital admissions.
When Lynn and Michael begin to receive death threats, they know theyâ??re into something bigger than either of them anticipated. They soon enter a desperate race against time for answers before shadowy forces behind Middleton Healthcare and their partner, Sidereal Pharmaceuticals, can put a stop to their effo

Lynn Peirce, estudiante de cuarto de medicina, cree que ya tiene la vida organizada, pero, cuando su novio Carl entra en el hospital para una sencilla operación de rodilla, todas sus previsiones se vienen abajo. Tras la intervención, Carl, hasta entonces sano, no recobra la conciencia y se confirma la muerte cerebral.
Desolada por los acontecimientos, Lynn se embarca en la búsqueda de respuestas. Está convencida de que hay algo más que no quieren contarle, así que utiliza los recursos que tiene a su alcance, incluido su compañero de laboratorio Michael Pender, tan reacio a ayudar, para encontrar pruebas de posibles negligencias médicas.
Cuando Lynn y Michael reciben amenazas de muerte, saben que tienen entre manos algo mucho peor de lo que habían imaginado y emprenderán una lucha contrarreloj para desenmascarar a los implicados antes de que estos acaben con ellos.

This seems a bit like "Coma" for the 21st century. It will also, most likely, have a sequel ( )

Robin Cook NEVER disappoints me. The only detail that bothered me was at the very end....maybe the last few sentences. Does this mean another book could involve Lynn and Michael. The graphic detail that Cook provides in his novels is amazing---you can picture everything happening---I can't imagine how he has managed to produce such an enormous number of books -- so impressive to see his incredible creativity, over and over!! It's always interesting to see what others write in their reviews of the very same book....each to his/her own opinions! ( )

It took me a long time to get through this. To me, it was just a run of the mill story. A lot of it I found hard to believe. Not the premise, which was pretty good, but the idea that medical students could get away with the stuff these two did. And the ending seemed rushed, like the author just wanted to get it over with ( )

The premise might have been worth another star except that the plot was easy to figure out from an early description of the building that was central to the story. What really dragged this book down for me was a thoroughly unlikeable MC. For a graduating medical student (like 4-6 weeks from graduating, in the story’s timeline), she was impulsive, spoiled, tactless, clueless, and reckless.

Add to that the unbelievable lack of knowledge. The specific scene was one in which she and her BFF (an underprivileged, black, ex-football player - no stereotypes here) find themselves scamming in the ER. They are assigned a motor vehicle accident victim with blunt trauma to the chest and difficulty breathing. The guy nearly dies before they figure out it’s a collapsed lung. To further test your suspension of disbelief, when the attending ER doc shows up, he praises their keen diagnostic talents and asks if either would be interested in joining his team.

More than once, she or her BFF consulted wikipedia for medical info. ... no, I’m not kidding. If that is typical of new doctors entering the field these days, I think I’d rather see a witch doctor or medieval leech.

I love medical thrillers, but this one was just not the same quality I remember coming from Robin Cook. ( )
