Coma by Robin Cook, MD
This is an old book that we found at it is still a good read. It is a hospital mystery set in Boston, the hospital is Boston Memorial. Susan Wheeler is a 3rd year resident, just starting her clinical rotation at the hospital. Her first day and she as already step into trouble. Her attending surgical rotation leader Mark Bellows, can't decide what to make of her. She can't decide what side he is on. Is there really a problem going on or is Susan just imaging that there is. I found this book really interesting, with a lot of medical terminology and procedures, I feel that the author does a good job of explaining these as she goes along, for even the "lay person" or "non-medical".

206 Bones by Kathy Reichs
This was an accidental find, books on sale. If you like the show "Bones" on TNT this is a book for you. There are changes from the show, but I found out that the producer of that show, must be portraying herself, Kathy Reichs is Bones, and she is also a writer of several books. Dr. Temperance Brennan, although she is Canada working, it is still a very good read. She finds herself in the dark, bound hands and feet, and needs to find a way out. In the mean time she is trying to remember out she got there and what happened, how long had she been there, where ever there is. So, she thinks it through starting with the last thing she remembers. But there is a lot of space in between there. Read what she remembers and who put her there, I can tell you that my first thought was wrong. It is a good murder-mystery. I hope that you enjoy it.
