A doctor's life gets turned upside by a dangerous new technology in
this thought-provoking medical thriller from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Robin Cook. George Wilson, M.D., a radiology
resident in Los Angeles, is about to enter a profession on the brink
of an enormous paradigm shift, foreshadowing a vastly different role
for doctors everywhere. The smartphone is poised to take on a new role
in medicine, no longer as a mere medical app but rather as a fully
customizable personal physician capable of diagnosing and treating
even better than the real thing. It is called iDoc. George’s initial
collision with this incredible innovation is devastating. He awakens
one morning to find his fiancée dead in bed alongside him, not long
after she participated in an iDoc beta test. Then several of his
patients die after undergoing imaging procedures. All of them had been
part of the same beta test. Is it possible that iDoc is being
subverted by hackers—and that the U.S. government is involved in a
cover-up? Despite threats to both his career and his freedom, George
relentlessly seeks the truth, knowing that if he’s right, the
consequences could be lethal.
