A Case of Need by Michael Crichton, Jeffery Hudson

4.0

Maybe not the full 4, but you have to hand it to the guy, first novel at only 26. Moved along at a good pace and kept me thinking trying to stay ahead of him. Which I didn't do all that well. The signs of the times were really a laugh. Abortions were still illegal, the doctors all smoked....like chimneys, in the hospital even! And the doctor went in and out of hospitals and accessed records and took samples on cases he had no ties too. The HIPAA folks would faint dead away today. The only things that did not seem to change were drug addicts.....sadly. Definitely a fun book. The appendices at the end about various things medical and ethical were interesting as well.
