One day, while the United States is embroiled in a bitter presidential election campaign, Marine One lands on Gabe's Wyoming ranch, and President Stoddard delivers a disturbing revelation and a startling request. His personal physician has suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and he desperately needs Gabe to take the man's place. Despite serious misgivings, Gabe agrees to come to Washington.
It is not until he is ensconced in the White House medical office that Gabe realizes there is strong evidence that the President is going insane. Facing a crisis of conscience - as President Stoddard's physician, he has the power to invoke the 25th Amendment to transfer presidential power to the vice president - Gabe uncovers increasing evidence that his friend's condition may not be due to natural causes.
Who? Why? And how? The president's life is at stake. A small-town doctor suddenly finds himself in the most powerful position on earth, and the safety of the world is in jeopardy. Gabe Singleton must find the answers, and the clock is ticking.

Would you listen to The First Patient again? Why?
I never understand this question? Now? After I have heard it? Before I heard it if I knew beforehand how the book would go? No, I will not listen again, but I would recommend it.What does Phil Gigante bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Nothing but he did not get too much in the way. Note: I have lived in Texas twice.He was Understandable. Nothing horrible. Am not a fan of the dramatic geographic dialects. Tolerated. And there was some irony in the Texas accents.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Global Economic Greed really is Poisoning our Food: DO NOT EAT THE CORN!Any additional comments?
The plot threads were too weakly intertwined. I much like the combination of science/medical with political plot lines. I thought about topics from this book after I competed it. Serious issues. Yet I read this book for entertainment. In almost all of author's books I find the violent, "car chase" sections, hero brutal fight scenes... to be much too drawn out. Movie? Maybe. But I switch to a faster narrator speed now for those sections.[Thank you Audible for that listening feature, but to avoid The Chipmunks how about 1.1 ? 10% faster? 25% faster makes my heart race and I think of helium!]I much enjoy Palmer's work. Easy yet not empty. Character development could improve - I think by reducing the number of minor players. I also find a trend to draw out not the very ending but the two hours leading into the ending, to be tedious and "lite." I want to yell: "Where is the editor?"I found the science issues in this book to be quite spot-on, real-world pertinent and passionately covered. I would recommend this read. I would like to have a ten star rating system! There are so few truly "all-star" books currently released, I find I give five stars if I think the book was worth my time. And it mostly captured me.Yet, this one and most of them are not really five star. Relative to available titles? Yes. Relative to Palmer's titles? Yes. I enjoy them all. I thought this one was especially worth the time.Exciting & Pausible Read
