Synopsis

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 page-turning, 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.

Non-required Reading I read a lot. I rarely give books low marks & I really struggle to not be critical of others. I owe it to my fellow readers to caution that until I finished this story, I really thought I would leave my very first one star review. The story reads like the result of a young person......more

Goodreads review by Colleen on July 20, 2021

James Cohoon is owning the medical thriller. He has a natural storytelling talent and Bad Medicine is the master of a compulsively readable story. Bad Medicine, once started, was mighty difficult to put down. Cohoon has crafted a clear-eyed tale of intrigue and suspense that had my heart skipping a......more

Goodreads review by Marsha on July 22, 2022

Yet again, the book is audible an Audible Audoook, not a Kindle book; I still can't add that, and I don't even know who or how to ask… :-(. 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 charact......more

Goodreads review by Judith on April 21, 2022

Revenge is not a medical term Matthew and Torrey seek to right wrongs, see that a kind of frontier “justice” is meted out, and that no part of their band goes to jail. While, I do not condone revenge, I do enjoy a great mystery. For those of you who are aficionados of the murder mystery genre this is......more
