This one seemed a little off, but still good. Then at the end I read that Michael Palmer had died and his son took MPs idea for the book and wrote the novel. That must be the difference. Sorry for the loss of this great author . ( ) This is a medical thriller centering on Dr. Carrie Bryant and her involvement in a secret program through the VA that is attempting to cure PTSD. Carrie is all too familiar with the horrible effects of this condition as her older brother suffers from it due to his service in Afghanistan. At the beginning there are times the book plods along, but it picks up speed in the middle and end, making it quite readable. It is a collaborative effort of father and son, son writing it after dad’s untimely death. It is a wonderful tribute to his dad. This book was fantastic. It is a wonderful medical thriller. I don't know if they can work Carrie into any other stories but I really like her. It is always kind of scary to see what something that is to help people can be twisted to harm someone. I hope to read many more by Michael and Daniel Palmer. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Dr. Carrie Bryant's four years as a neurosurgical resident at White Memorial Hospital have earned her the respect and admiration from peers and staff alike. When given the chance of performing her first unsupervised brain surgery, Carrie jumps at the opportunity. What should have been a routine, hours long operation, turns horribly wrong and jeopardizes her patient's life. Emotionally and physically drained, Carrie is rushed back to the OR to assist in a second surgery. There, she makes a careless and tragic mental error resulting in irreparable brain damage to her second patient. With her confidence shattered, Carrie quits her residency and moves back home where her younger brother, Adam, a combat vet suffering from debilitating PTSD, also lives. When Carrie learns about an experimental program at the VA Medical Center exploring the use of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) that could forever cure the emotional and memory trauma of PTSD, it seems like a way back into medicine. Carrie is apprehensive, but a chance meeting with David Hoffman, a reporter for the Lowell Observer writing a story on PTSD, helps her overcome any hesitation. Her first surgery appears to be a success until her patient mysteriously vanishes. When a second patient also goes missing, Carrie employs the investigative skills of David, and together they descend into a labyrinth of murder and corruption. And the price Carrie might pay for asking the wrong questions could be her life. "-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
