Death is a fact of life at the Gillette Trauma Center, a prestigious Washington, D.C. facitity that gets more than its fair share of borderline cases. At some point the Drs. have all seen a recovering patient suddenly slip away as the result of a pulmonary embolus-a fatal blood clot that can form after serious injury. But lately it's been happening wiyh alarming frequency to patients of a certain Dr. Runyon. This is a very good medical thriller, a definate page-turner!!
