Inhaltsangabe

.the breathing difficulty continued, and he couldn't get up. It seemed as if he was being held down. He felt a sense of panic. But at the same time he felt as if he was drifting into a deeper state of sleep. For a short time he fought these conflicting sensations, but eventually he surrendered to the latter feeling.

One by one, prominent staff physicians, who also are members of the Medical Executive Committee of Illinois General Hospital in Chicago, are dying under mysterious circumstances.

When Dr. Harrison is found dead in his home, it appears to be a tragic heart attack. Then Dr. Spann dies from a serious case of meningitis. When Dr. Alberts is found dead in his garage from an apparent suicide, the hospital employees only have slight suspicions about the real cause of death. But by the time Dr. Gottlieb expires from a venous air embolism, it becomes apparent that a serial killer is on the loose-and Dr. Jason Pollard knows what he has to do to stop it. Pollard, along with Detective Richard Galinski and and his daughter, medical student Amanda Galinski, collaborate in an effort to solve the case.

Will they be able to catch the killer before any more doctors die?

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Sheldon Cohen has practiced internal medicine and served as the medical director of three organizations: Alexian Brother's Medical Center of Northwest Suburban Chicago, Cigna Health plan of Illinois, and Humanacare Plus of Illinois. The author taught internal medicine and physical diagnosis to medical students from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and the Chicago Medical School. Recognizing the fact that busy physicians are pressed for time and thus often fail to capture a thorough medical history, the author developed one of the first computerized medical history systems for private practice and wrote a paper on his experience with 1500 patients who utilized the system. This was one of the early efforts in promoting electronic health records, a work in progress to this day. Serving as a consultant for Joint Commission Resources of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the author did quality consultations at hospitals in the United States, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Copenhagen, Denmark, and served as a consultant to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine, assisting them in the development of a hospital accrediting body. Dr. Cohen is the author of 36 books.
