Description
ER is the most successful television series ever. Michael Chrichton created the series from his own experiences as a medical doctor in the emergency rooms and wards of Massachusetts General Hospital. Five Patients is Michael Chrichton’s true account of the real life dramas so vividly portrayed in ER. A construction worker is seriously injured in a scaffold collapse; a middle-aged dispatcher is brought in suffering from a fever that has reduced him to a delirious wreck; a young man nearly severs his hand in an accident; an airline traveller suffers chest pains; a mother of three is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease.Written with the same honesty, suspense, technological detail and excitement that have made Jurassic Park and Airframe No.1 bestsellers worldwide, Five Patients is an unputdownable account of life as it really is in a hospital.
