Reviews

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dr. Kildare is minding his own business when there's an accident on the street. He goes to help. there's a crowd forming and a policeman who doesn't know what's going on. A woman is hurt, and wants to be taken to the hospital, but there's no time. A boy might be paralyzed.

Later, as things shake out, everyone wants to sue the hospital. There's a trial, and Kildare is apt to be fired or worse.

The perception of the medical field has really changed since these days, and I'm not sure it's all for the better.

[Oliver Clarke · Rating 4 out of 5]

A hugely entertaining mix of medical and courtroom drama. I'll definitely be reading more Kildare!
