Michael Crichton: Five Patients (USA 1970) From the Publisher: RALPH ORLANDO, rushed into emergency after a construction accident; his heart has stopped beating... To give the layman this unique inside look at modern hospital practice, the twenty-seven-year-old author of The Andromeda Strain (he received his M.D. one month after Andromeda was published) draws on the immediacy of his own experience through four years at Harvard Medical School and Mass. General. As Crichton reconstructs in detail the experience of the five patients, as he looks back into the hospital of yesterday and forward into new possibilities of care and eure, the reader gains an extraordinary understanding of modern medical practice, of hospital life and problems, of the hospital staff and its responsibilities, of the way medical stu-dents function and are taught in the hospital, of why costs are skyrocketing, of what lies ahead. Five Patients is Michael Crichton's first work of nonfiction.
