With a good mix of duty and curiosity, Susan begins her own investigation into the matter, and all signs point to the operating theatre. At some point during her tenure, she begins to notice something a little suspicious taking place: a few too many patients seem to be falling into comas, never to wake up again.
After a brief introduction, the story presents us with Susan Wheeler, a third-year medical student who works as a trainee at the Boston Memorial Hospital.
In a genre ever-evolving alongside our technological progress, I think it would be interesting to take a step back and see where it all began. This privilege is generally reserved for modern genres, and today I would like to take a look at the novel which kicked off the idea of medical thrillers: Coma by Robin Cook, which by the way was adapted to film by Michael Crichton. Then Susan discovers the evil nature of the Jefferson Institute, an intensive care facility where patients are suspended from the ceiling and kept alive until they can be harvested for healthy organs.Robin Cook Births the Medical Thriller GenreĮxamining the majority of literary genres, it can be fairly difficult to determine their actual point of origin, to pin-point a specific book by a known author which kicked off the whole affair. Susan begins to investigate the causes behind both of these alarming comas and discovers the oxygen line in Operating Room 8 has been tampered with to induce carbon monoxide poisoning.
Two patients during her residency mysteriously go into comas immediately after their operations due to complications from anesthesia. Susan Wheeler is a third-year medical student working as a trainee at Boston Memorial Hospital. They called it "minor surgery," but Nancy Greenly, Sean Berman and a dozen others-all admitted to Boston Memorial Hospital for routine procedures-were victims of the same inexplicable, hideous tragedy on the operating table. Description: The blockbuster bestseller that kickstarted a new genre-the medical thriller-is now available in trade paperback for the first time.
