DESCRIPTION:
Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Excellent read. Interesting topic about managed care going wrong.. Typical Robin Cook Rachel In this twist of Cook's signature "doctors-gone-wild" plotline, unsuspecting patients of a rural hospital are plagued by sudden unexplainable deaths as a duo of doctors digs up the dirt. Literally. Although many of Cook's plots are quite similar, his style is fast-paced suspense that will have the readers guessing at the bad-guy until the last turn. I'm generally not a fan of redundant plotlines or recycled characters, but I've recently noticed Cook's works embody a gigantic medical ethics course. Each book explores a new ethical dilemma. Fatal Cure suggests to the reader that although America's medical system needs to be re. A Customer said A polemic against HMO's--oh, and there's a story, too.

Now Robin Cook, the bestselling master of medical suspense, confronts this controversial subject with an all-too-possible scenario as powerful--and terrifying--as his groundbreaking blockbuster, ComaWith its state-of-the-art facility and peaceful Vermont setting, the Bartlet Community Hospital seemed like a dream come true. And day by day, their patients began to die. Public health care is one of the most important issues in America today
. Worse still, patients are dying unexpectedly almost daily, and no one seems to care very much. From Publishers Weekly If Cook's skills as a writer were as finely tuned as his sense of timing, his 14th medical thriller (after Terminal ) would be a lot more rewarding. The deaths are not normal, of course, and astute readers will quickly determine who is behind them, why and--most likely--how.

Idealistic young doctors David and Angela Wilson take positions at a state-of-the-art medical center in a small Vermont town partly because they see it as an ideal spot for t
