Crisis

By: Robin Cook

Narrated by: George Guidall

When Dr. Craig Bowman is served with a summons for medical malpractice, he's shocked, enraged, and more than a little humiliated. A devoted physician who works continuously in the service of others, he endured grueling years of training and is now a partner in an exclusive concierge medical practice. No longer forced to see more and more patients while spending less and less time with each one just to keep his office door open, he now provides the kind of medical care he is trained to do, lavishing twenty-four-hour availability and personalized attention on his handpicked patients. And at last, he is earning a significant income, no longer burdened by falling reimbursements from insurance companies.But this idyllic practice comes to a grinding halt one sunny afternoon-and gets much, much worse.

Enter Dr. Jack Stapleton, a medical examiner in New York City and Bowman's brother-in-law: Jack's sister Alexis-now Craig's estranged wife-tearfully begs for his help as her husband's trial drags on. Jack agrees to travel to Boston to offer his forensic services and expert witness experience to Craig's beleaguered defense attorney. But when Jack's irreverent suggestion to exhume the corpse to disprove the alleged malpractice is taken seriously, he opens a Pandora's box of trouble. As Craig Bowman's life and career are put on the line, Jack is on the verge of making a most unwelcome discovery of tremendous legal and medical significance-and there are people who will do anything to keep him from learning the truth.©2006 Robin Cook; (P)2006 Penguin Audio, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., and Recorded Books, LLC

quite surprising

after reading somewhat negative reviews of this book, i worried about my choice, as my audible choices spend many miles entertaining me on my time on the highway. Sometimes you have to have a little faith in your favorite authors, this story had it all, suspense, comedy, unpredictable moments, it was most wonderful. I don't want to spoil the experience for you, but you won't regret the time you spend with CRISIS!!! If you've read Robin Cook, you won't be disappointed and you'll meet some old friends!!

Reading Newlywed :-)

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would when I first started. I'm glad I stuck with it. Once the book finally grasped my attention ... I fell head over hills in love. Although Robin Cook swept me off my feet many years ago, I'm glad I became reacquainted with his work. Can't wait to read another book. My mind can't stop thinking of the storyline and making up what happened next.

Not disappointed!!!

I, too, ignored the reviews and was glad I did. I had listened to previous books of Robin Cook, read by George Guidall, and knew how good they were. And this one did not disappoint me. Even though he may not be totally up on legal prcedure and terminology -- for example, the judge saying "counsels" instead of "counsel" -- I ignored such MINOR things and thoroughly enjoyed the suspense. It will definitely be worth the listen.

another winner

I love this author. I love each of his books. This was no exception.

I love the Jack Stapleton character

Nothing in particular but maybe medical terms being so varied I love all of Robin Cook’s books.
