Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I thoroughly enjoyed this short, well-written novel from an anesthesiologist who did not put me to sleep with his first attempt at novel writing. When he commented on one of my reviews about my perceived evils of tort reform, I thought his book would be centered on medical malpractice. Alas, it had an interesting plot and an even more interesting twist that must have intelligence agencies asking themselves why they hadn't thought of it.
In addition to a first-rate plot, the reader can gain an understanding of what our doctors go through everyday wondering when they get out of bed, if one of their patients is going to die in one, on the gurney, or if they will end up in a "lawsuit" instead of scrubs. This must be unnerving for even the most confident and competent physician.
The doctor/author provides as much technical information about the operating room as Tom Clancy can provide about the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. But after a while, to this layman it sounded a lot like the doctor was attempting to"intubate the bandersnatch through the snarknoggin to prevent the patient aspirating his bifurcatedhomeopotatos."
Since this was self-published, I take it the author made the fatal mistake of relying on Microsoft grammar/spelling check too, which can have code blue-level consequences. Microsoft cannot diagnosespacing, double periods.., the wrong preposition, or know when to hyphen-ate if its life depended on it, and it happened enough to be as frightening as watching a surgeon lick a scalpel clean before your surgery. It can scar the reader and writer forever. (Maybe he could sue them for malpractice!) I also wished the Oath had been placed at the beginning, and the non-Hippocratic oath removed. It appeared satirical in an otherwise serious topic.
The book was a pleasant surprise, and the doc has a talented writing style considering English is a "second" language for him. This book will not knock you out.
Reading Terro.r. is not an Erro.r.P.S.Doc, this Heine's for you!
