Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. “Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.” Ivan Illich, Medical Nemesis | |

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. Suddenly regaining consciousness, Rich Jansen attempted to stand, then instantly regretted the abrupt movement. The pain began at the base of his head and exploded in successive and increasingly intense waves of agony, forcing him to close his eyes, hang his head and wait motionless. | |

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. The TMC was like Texas—huge. With over sixty independent medical institutions and eighty or ninety thousand physicians, researchers, and employees in the sprawling twelve miles of incorporated TMC prime real estate. Located within a single block from one another were two nationally known medical schools, and seven of the finest hospitals in the nation, perhaps the world. Driving slowly along the central strip, she passed St. Luke’s and the Houston Methodist Hospital on her right. Lindsey slowed to a crawl as she gazed at the hospitals made internationally famous by the medical warfare between Denton Cooley and Michael DeBakey during the latter half of the last century. Smiling once again, she thought with deep affection about these two giants of cardiovascular surgery. Without warning, she began to cry. | |

In fact, the only group that comes somewhat close is on Scorpion, one of my favorite television series right now. As that group shows again and again, the price of genius...is indeed high...but, putting them together in a tv program...or in a book series by Lin Wilder results in exhilarating, unique experiences time after time... Surely, you can't afford to continue without checking these books out!
I recommend you start with the first, The Fragrance Shed by a Violet, then Do You Solemnly Swear... All of them can be considered free-standing; however, the major draw for me has been the characters and by A Price for Genius, you will be meeting old friends as they struggle to find and rescue the two young scientists, captured only because they are both geniuses... My recommendation for the works of Lin Wilder must be as Must-Reads...
