Bad Medicine

Bad Medicine is a medical thriller that instantaneously entangles the reader in a web of intrigue and medical mayhem. It is the story of a struggle that pits doctors against doctors in a major American teaching hospital. It pulls the reader up and down emotionally because sooner or later we'll all encounter the medical community and this could be what faces us. This recently published medical thriller articulates everyone's worst fear.

We all know that patients are at the mercy of their doctors and hospitals, and sometimes mistakes happen. But what if those mistakes were motivated by deception and greed? Or even blackmail? What would happen if misguided, even evil, physicians abandoned their moral obligations and banded together to protect themselves from their past and, at the same time, use their past to richen their lifestyles and their pockets at the expense of everything their profession holds sacred?

Dr. Paul Auerbach is superbly qualified to tell this tale. The descriptions of medical academia ring true, and provide a perfect backdrop for the frightening thesis that medical care can be easily subordinated to criminal behavior. No one has ever written a thriller in which the medicine is more realistic and gut wrenching. It is a book you'll want to devoured from cover to cover, simply because it is too fascinating to put down.
