Description During Books Life Support

Control was the word Dr Toby Harper lived by. She strove to keep her life in order, her ER in order. But no one could have been prepared for the man she admits one quiet night to the Springer Hospital. Delirious and in critical condition, he barely responds to treatment. And then he disappears without trace. The subsequent search leads Toby to a second patient with the same infection. And it reveals an unsettling twist - the infection can only be spread through direct tissue exchange. Soon Toby's on a trail that winds from a pregnant sixteen-year-old prostitute to an unexpected tragedy in her own home. Only then does she discover the unthinkable: a terrifying and deadly epidemic is about to be unleashed ...

Criticism Containing Books Life Support
Not totally perfect but I stayed up until 2.30am last night reading this1 I just had to finish. Wow, but this has a creepy factor that glued me to the page! It reminded me of Brain by Robin Cook. I also admire the way the author humanizes her protagonists.Gerritsen is truly one of the very best ever in the genre!

This was horrible for me. I understand that this was a stand alone and was quite different from the Rizzoli & Isles series, but this was by far the worst I've read by her.If I would have read this first and not the other series, I would have never picked any of her books up!I hated the plot, the story itself, the characters were flat and dull, the ending was horrible, and just everything altogether for me was total yuck!Prostitutes, non human babies/tumors thingies, ER night shift, everyone

Dr Toby Harper was exhausted when the police brought in the old man whod been found confused and wandering, naked, through the nearby streets. Springer Hospital where Toby spent her nights working the ER was generally quiet at that time of night, but the disoriented man was thrashing and jerking, delirious and completely out of it. And when he vanished from the hospital not long after admission, Toby was hit with resounding guilt.When Tobys attention was drawn to another elderly patient a few

Page turner, medical thriller. Interesting book to read.

I chose this book because I'm trying to complete a challenge and the cover was one of the points I needed to cross of.It's not the kind of novel that I'm fond of reading, but when you're awake in the middle of the night while nursing my young son it was just perfect to read. Not too difficult and it actually felt pretty tightly wrapped without too much of the usual romance in these 'crime' novels. Of course it wouldn't fit the genre if it didn't fiddle a little bit with a certain love interest.

I always appreciate medical thrillers written by real MD's. The medical references and scenarios are accurate. Toby Harper is an overworked MD. Her personal life includes a solitary existence with the exception of her mother with Alzheimers living in her home. Toby's world begins to unravel when she treats an elderly man admitted with strange symptoms. The patient mysteriously disappears while under Toby's care and she feels her life beginning to spiral out of her control as she fights her guilt

I just finished Life Support and Tess Gerritsen has impressed me again with her knowledge of yet another aspect of medicine; geriatrics. She is a master at making the elevated world of medicine and doctors understandable to the masses. Her ability to create new characters and bring them to life is equaled with few and bettered by none. If I could voice one criticism it would be that she leaves her characters with their lives unresolved (no happily-ever-after endings) and leave it to the readers
