Explanation Conducive To Books Foreign Body (Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery #8)

A series of unexplained deaths in foreign hospitals sends an idealistic UCLA medical student on a desperate search for answers, in this chilling tale from the master of the medical thriller.

Jennifer Hernandez is a fourth-year medical student at UCLA, just completing an elective in general surgery, whose world is shattered during a break in an otherwise ordinary day. While relaxing in the surgical lounge of L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, she half-listens to a piece on medical tourism, where first-world citizens travel to third-world countries for surgery. But when she hears her beloved grandmother’s name mentioned, her own heart nearly stops: the CNN reporter says Maria Suarez-Hernandez had died, a day after undergoing a hip replacement in New Delhi’s Queen Victoria Hospital.

Maria had raised Jennifer and her brothers from infancy, and their bond was unshakable. Still, the news that Maria had traveled to India was a shock to Jennifer, until she realized that it was the only viable option for the hardworking yet uninsured woman. Devastated, and desperate for answers, Jennifer takes emergency leave from school and heads to India, where relations with local officials go from sympathetic to sour as she presses for more information. With the discovery of other unexplained deaths followed by hasty cremations, Jennifer reaches out to her mentor, New York City medical examiner Dr. Laurie Montgomery, who has her own deep connection to Maria.

Laurie, along with her husband, Dr. Jack Stapleton, rushes to the younger woman’s side, discovering a sophisticated medical facility with little margin for error. As the death count grows, so do the questions, leading Laurie and Jennifer to unveil a sinister, multilayered conspiracy of global proportions.

Appraise Based On Books Foreign Body (Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery #8)

Why do I keep reading Robin Cook's books? I enjoyed his early works, and I suppose I hope each time he'll have written something as interesting."Foreign Body," though, is a perfect example of a book dashed off without concern for its quality to satisfy a publisher's deadline. Cook knows his readers will buy and read (after all, I did), even if the book is sub-par.What can I say? The storyline was predictable, the characters flat, and the plot implausible. Most irritating, though, was the

Nice book with suspense sprinkled here and there. It was definitely a great medical thriller for me.

This book has plenty of hot social medical tech issues: fertility treatment, big money profits in medical care, "medical tourism",sexual abuse, and forensic science. Add an orphaned medical student, a grandmother who died after a hip replacement, a few love relationships and a setting in the dark side of India and you have the ingredients of Cook's latest novel. The plot and action were too farfetched for me to empathize with the characters and the pat ending was not believable.

Actually, it is my first book from Robin Cook and I liked it. Although the end was predictable, I enjoyed most of the read. I will try to read it in the right order though.

This is the first novel Ive read by the famous Robin Cook, who is a trained physician, and as a writer, specializes in medical thrillers. This one concerns medical tourism: when last-year UCLA medical student Jennifer Hernandez finds out that her grandmother mysteriously died during routine hip replacement surgery in India, and other patients start dying as well, she goes there to investigate, only to face resistance at every turn. Is it a cultural misunderstanding or has there been some foul

Robin Cook, author of over two dozen medical thrillers, took on the medical tourism industry in Foreign Body. As in all his books, we are invited to view the dark side of medicine, so if you are considering traveling overseas to get a kidney transplant or a hip replacement, think again. Just kidding maybe ;-)The sinister plot revolves around the untimely passing of a sixtyish grandmother after undergoing hip surgery in India. The fourth-year medical student granddaughter, Jennifer Hernandez,

I'm so disappointed with Robin Cook's writing. I swear it didn't used to be this bad . . . The conversations were stilted and awkward and unlikely and the plot could have been good but there were no twists or surprises. The main excitment of the story started with the last 5th of the book left and even then, it didn't ever ramp up, it just sort of peatered out. I was very disappointed. I kept reading waiting for the goodness and excitment to come - thinking that as long as there is a good part
