      About This Book

      "Second Opinion" is a medical thriller based on a true case. It recounts the saga of a family physician and his wife whose best friends misdiagnosed his coronary disease and then placed his bypasses on the wrong arteries. As the story develops, it depicts the anguish and pain, love and courage of the main characters in the presence of death, as well as the indifference, coldness, and pettiness of the doctors they become in contact with. It unveils the indifference of hospitals to human suffering and death, as they focus mainly on the bottom line. It depicts the problems created by the coversion of medicine from a healing art to a high stakes-business.
