Title: A Case of Need Pdf A Novel
The death of a doctor’s daughter may be malpractice—or murder—in this novel by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author: “I loved it” (Stephen King).
In the tightly knit world of Boston medicine, the Randall family reigns supreme. When heart surgeon J. D. Randall’s teenage daughter dies during a botched abortion, the medical community threatens to explode. Was it malpractice? A violation of the Hippocratic Oath? Or was Karen Randall murdered in cold blood?
An Edgar Award–winning novel by the author of such blockbusters as The Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park—and creator of the long-running NBC drama ER—A Case of Need is a “superb” medical-thriller mystery (Los Angeles Times).
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Michael Crichton including rare images from the author’s estate.I wish I had read this before Michael Crichton has the rare ability to produce stimulating fast-paced fiction mixed with intelligent technical description. Crichton is a doc so the science tends to revolve around medicine and biology and this one was written under a pseudonym while he was in med school. It won the Edgar award in 1969 before the name Michael Crichton meant anything. The book is a whodunit centered around an abortion that may or may not have been necessary. It takes place before Roe v Wade so it deals with the social reactions as well as detection aspects. All in all a fine read."A Compelling Medical Mystery" In this excellent medical thriller (written in 1969, an award winning book), taking place at a large Boston hospital, a doctor is accused of murder. The Randall family is well known for their medical professions and they reign high and mighty in the medical career field. But when daughter Karen Randall, 18 years old, dies after a botched abortion, a doctor is falsely charged with her murder. The reader can learn much about medical techniques and practices; there is a well defined glossary of terms at the end of each chapter. Also included at the end of the book is Michael Crichton's biography along with photos of his estate. An awesome story, highly recommend.This was not Michael Crichton's best work First, let me say I was a Michael Crichton fan and an avid reader of his later works. Second, I'm glad I never encountered this early work because it might have put me off reading his later and much better works. The constant use of footnotes explaining the medical jargon that permeated the first part of the book was jarring. Fortunately, the footnotes disappeared in the last part of the book. The last of the book was the kind of the writing that made me a fan in the first place.If you're not familiar with Crichton's works, don't let this one discourage you from reading his later works. You'll be missing out on a great writer if you do that.
