The New York Times bestselling author and master of the medical thriller returns with a top-notch fusion of groundbreaking medical science and edge-of-your-seat suspense. 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.… (mer)

Unimaginative plot. High-school-level writing; maybe less. No depth in the science. Pathetically lame sex/romance thrown in.

For a book published in 2014, the idea of centralized, automated medical care is not surprising. Would've been a more interesting book to hear all the roadblocks that prevent such a concept from being deployed and keep the practice of medicine as poor as it is.

George Wilson, residente de radiología en Los Ángeles, está a punto de ingresar a una profesión al borde de un enorme cambio de paradigma, presagiando un papel muy diferente para los médicos en todas partes. El teléfono inteligente está listo para asumir un nuevo papel en la medicina, ya no como una mera aplicación médica, sino como un médico personal totalmente personalizable capaz de diagnosticar y tratar incluso mejor que en la realidad. Se llama IDOC. La colisión inicial de George con esta increíble innovación es devastadora. Se despierta una mañana y encuentra a su prometida muerta en la cama junto a él, poco después de que ella participará en una prueba beta de iDoc. Luego, varios de sus pacientes mueren después de someterse a procedimientos de imagen. Todos ellos habían sido parte de la misma prueba beta. ¿Es posible que iDoc esté siendo subvertido por piratas informáticos y que el gobierno de EE.UU esté involucrado en un encubrimiento? A pesar de las amenazas tanto a su carrera como a su libertad, George busca la verdad sin descanso, sabiendo que si tiene razón, las consecuencias podrían ser letales.

Ends in a big cliff-hanger. Quite annoying ( )

As usual, once I start a Robin Cook book, I'm utterly hooked and don't want to stop reading until I finish, and then I'm ready for more.

Highly recommended. Relentless.

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.

I want a sequel!

Includes a sneak peek look at Host. ( )
