I read this book a very long time ago and dont really remember the story. All I remember is that this was an excellent book that I immensely enjoyed. I should read it again. ( )

This is one of a series of books that Arthur Hailey wrote that I suppose you could call dramatic thrillers, or something like that.

Some are more at one end than the specturm than other, and The Final Diagnosis you could place in the middle, as hospital staff deal with life and death decisions every day, whereas here there are no 'stuff is going to blow up and go boom
type problems to deal with. ( )

I really enjoy Hailey's "slice of life" writing style and his ability to keep mutiple connected, but not always entirely interdependent, plots going simultaneously. Unfortunately, the books just aren't timely anymore. When people didn't know how airports and hospitals and hotels operated, I can see why these books were so popular. But, nowadays, we get plenty of detail on hospitals and pathology by watching ER. But still, though they've not aged as well as they could have, they're still good reads. ( )
