3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting Medical Thriller,
By A. Vegan (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mortality Rate (Paperback)
A young medical student notices that an excessively high number of terminally ill patients are dying of exceedingly similar causes at the University hospital. When he starts his own investigation, he quickly finds his credibility under fire and his list of suspects growing. With a web of violence closing in around him, he must race to uncover the truth before his own life ends prematurely. This wasn't a great medical thriller but it wasn't a bad book either.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good thriller,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mortality Rate (Paperback)
It is an honor for six medical students to be allowed to participate
in Professor Arthur Law's twice monthly ethics seminar. At each session, a
student discusses a case that he is involved with that either the cost in
resources or time questions keeping the patient alive. The students debate
the ethics surrounding each case and seek a consensus on how to resolve the
debate. One of the attending students is Mac McCall, who slowly concludes
that being a subject of these discussions might be hazardous to the life of
the individual.
Mac has noticed that every recent patient discussed has died. he wonders if one of the group members is behind the sudden rash of deaths. When one of his peers, who was investigating the deaths, dies from an apparent suicide, Mac believes that a deliberate killer is on the loose. When someone tries to run him down, Mac knows beyond a shadow of doubt that his suspicions are real and he better do something about them if he wants to stay alive long enough to graduate. Fans of medical thrillers will want to read Jack Chase's MORTALITY RATE. Although it is obvious from the beginning what is happening to the patients, it is the who and how that makes the novel extremely interesting. The answers are very frightening at what could potentially occur at a hospital as Mr. Chase gets the audience to question the ethics and practices of the medical establishment. Harriet Klausner
