Paperback. Zustand: Good. 484 pages. Cover worn.Reviews This candid, compassionate novel that views sickness and death from the unflinching standpoint of the medical profession, is the fifth by Ravin ( Ev idence ; M.D. ), a physician by training. As an intern in New York's Whipple Hos pital for cancer patients, Brendan O'Brien is smitten with comely, dedicated hea d nurse Caroline Bates. The narrative traces the evolution of their relationship : Caroline gives up her lawyer boyfriend and marries Brendan; they continue thei r training in Boston, and eventually settle in Washington, D.C. Two children are born to the now prospering couple before Caroline is struck down in a car accid ent that leaves her an invalid. Ravin makes dramatic use of an insider's revelat ions of the harrowing daily lives of doctors and nurses, furnishing detailed inf ormation about disease, pharmacology and medical procedures, and touching on suc h timely themes as the prevalence of malpractice suits and the AIDS crisis. But Ravin is adept at leavening his story with the wry, sassy humor that seems essen tial to a health worker's survival and sanity. (Oct.). Artikel-Nr. 1286q
