Publisher's summary

From busy hospitals in San Diego to the barren deserts of Arizona, this tension-filled thriller, the second installment of the Medical Students series, follows the life-and-death challenges, the surprising twists and turns, and the ethical dilemmas of two young doctors in their quest to rid the profession of bad doctors.

Torrey, with her genius IQ, gained acceptance to Stanford Medical School to pursue her dream of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon in honor of her little sister, Leia, who died of brain cancer. At Stanford, she met her future husband, Matthew, who pursued medical school for the sole purpose of becoming a prison doctor in order to gain access to - and kill - his father's murderer who was incarcerated in San Quentin. As their relationship deepened, Torrey was forced to confront the potential value and moral ambiguity of vigilantism.

In this pause-resisting, stand-alone suspense sequel, Bad Medicine, newlyweds Torrey and Matthew have graduated from medical school and are now new doctors at Kaiser hospital in San Diego. While there, they learn of a friend's young niece who has fallen victim to a doctor who is running a phony cancer treatment center. Putting their careers and marriage in jeopardy, Dr. Jamison and Dr. Preston agree to help their friend's family seek the ultimate revenge.

SPOILER ALERT!

I truly enjoyed the individuality of the numerous characters in this story. I usually love a good vigilante story, and while this certainly is that, it's a little strange to have so many killings done, and with such gusto, by resident doctors! However, I did enjoy the storyline and felt that Patrick Lawlor did a great job with the narration. I will definitely purchase more books by James Cohoon!

It just gets more and more intricate!

(As posted in Goodreads)
I really liked the book, but I'm afraid that plot got a little too involved and intricate – not that I have any ideas as to what should be different. The characters were still amusing and likable.
I got a feeling that the stereotypes of bad government and uncaring government officials was too exaggerated and painted a consistently negative picture! Don't get me wrong; I do believe that there are many uncaring individuals in government, but it's irresponsible to not recognize that there ARE a lot of responsible people, too, and to paint them all with the black brush is incorrect and ignores the fact that many people do their best to make things, for the population at large, both fair and reasonable!
Off my high horse.

bad Book!

The entire premise of this book is immature and in believable. Whoever in healthcare helped this author with the rudimentary medical facts should be ashamed of themself. Don’t waste your time or money on this one.
