EMR is a fast-paced, medical thriller centered on a compassionate but troubled doctor, Robin Cochran, who is practicing in her southern hometown after training at an urban hospital in New York City.

Robin’s nemesis, a physician corporate climber, is all too eager to lay the blame on her. Robin shares her concern with her lifelong friend that something dark and unfathomable is happening. He risks his career to hide her until he can exonerate her.Meanwhile, Robin is being spied on by a talented hacker and I.T. specialist at HealthSure who wants to rescue Robin from her enemies. But he has found an opponent in an artificial intelligence (EMORY) that may very well be playing its own lethal game.
EMR is a great debut from first time novelist Dr. Adam Spitz. A medical triller that dips its toe into science fiction by way of a sentient artificial intelligence. A fast paced page turner with solid character development.
EMR is a great thriller. It's well written and the description of the characters are insightful. The book is a fine read and a quick one as the excitement builds up.
