George Wilson, a fourth year radiology resident has noticed
that several people he knows have been dying.
As a doctor in a hospital, this might not be that unusual, however, they
are not all patients. Also, he realizes
that they are all part of a trial testing new cutting edge technology called
iDoc, which is cell phone application that works like a primary care
physician. People are monitored by the
device which can offer diagnoses and answer patient questions. If someone has a condition that requires
regular medication, a device can be implanted that dispense automatically by
the iDoc app. George suspects that the
deaths may have something to do iDoc app and has set out to investigate the
possibility. However, the people who
have developed the technology are determined to let nothing delay its debut,
even if there is a glitch in the system.
This story was really good and I thought it was even plausible. I liked that I basically understood all of
the science in it, which is not always true.
There were a lot of editing errors in this book, which I found really
distracting some of the time. Overall
though, it was a fast, fun read for fans of the medical thriller genre.
