Miracle Cure by Michael Palmer
4.0
I've read a few of Michael Palmer's medical thrillers before, and have always thoroughly enjoyed them. This was no exception. Brian Holbrook is a cardiologist - or was, before his addiction to prescription drugs (due to a knee injury from college football) caused him to self-prescribe and lose his license eighteen months earlier. But Brian gets a second chance when his father is admitted to the Boston Heart Institute, and Brian diagnoses a patient with a rare condition, saving a life.
The institute's director is impressed, and hires Brian, which allows him to get his medical license back. A new miracle drug for arteriosclerosis is being trialled at the hospital, but Brian begins to suspect all may not be as it appears.
It was a fast-paced read with lots of twists and turns. If any of it is even vaguely true, I'm greatly disturbed at the level of corruption in the medical profession!
