Description

Michael Crichton's true account of real-life medical dramas is presented in Five Patients. The author drew from his experiences as a doctor in Massachusetts General Hospital's emergency rooms, operating rooms, and wards. The book recounts the stories of patients who faced life-threatening conditions, including a construction worker injured in a scaffold collapse, a despatcher suffering from a fever-induced delirium, a young man nearly severing his hand in an accident, an airline traveller experiencing chest pains, and a mother of three diagnosed with a life-threatening disease. Through these vivid case studies, Crichton offers a unique insight into the world of emergency medicine.
