I
really enjoyed reading this debut novel from Dr. Siegel. I was interested in the characters and the
well-developed plot, but fascinated by the insider view of doctors and
hospitals. If half of what Dr. Siegel
discusses in this “behind the curtain” novel is true, I will never look at the
medical profession the same way again! Some
readers might be turned off by the heavy use of medical terminology, but I
found it informative and well-explained.
The author is at his best when discussing the many daily conflicts of a
physician and excels during extended debates of these issues. On the down side, I found the timeline a
little confusing in places after the first few chapters, and the attempts at
realistic dialogue a bit forced and preachy at times. Overall a very worthwhile read. I look forward to the next installment of “Exam
Room Confidential”.
