Why read it?
1 author picked Blind Eye as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read this book for background for my first novel, in an effort to understand why some physicians (very few, thank goodness) kill. What I discovered in this book is what I experienced in real life working for eleven years in healthcare: hospitals are breeding grounds for medical error and cover-ups. Physician, protect thyself, so to speak. The number of times this insane MD (Michael Swango) was allowed to continue practicing when he could have been stopped is appalling, but not surprising to those inside healthcare.
From Elizabeth's list on The best medical thriller/mystery novels with a spiritual twist.
