About this Item

First edition hardcover with signed book plate affixed to CIP page. (ISBN 0-553-09553-6) Very good tight copy, unread, good jacket. Practicing physician and master of medical suspense, Michael Palmer, explores the dark side of a sacred profession in his four national bestsellers, among them "Extreme Measures" and "The Sisterhood." Now he once again enters a frightening world where death id not always a matter of "Natural Causes." Dr. Sarah Baldwin came to traditional medicine with a background in holistic healing, her faith in its awesome power shaken by the ruthless disregard for patient welfare she discovered in her lover and mentor, Peter Ettinger. At the Medical Center of Boston, her unconventional, but highly successful methods have earned her a position as a trusted and respected OB/GYN resident. Then one of Sarah's patients enters MCB, her labor complicated by sudden, terrifying bleeding. Only Sarah's bold actions save the woman's life. But hard on the heels of Sarah's life-saving heroics comes he discovery that two other healthy young women have hemorrhaged to death during labor, and the only thing all three had in common was Sarah's prescribed mix of prenatal herbal vitamins. Suddenly Sarah is fighting to save her career, as surprising attacks come from the powerful father of one patient and from Sarah's ex-lover, expert witness Peter Ettinger. Her support at the hospital crumbling, Sarah turns to her brash and inexperienced lawyer, former Red Sox pitcher Matt Daniels, and to a wary researcher for the Centers for Disease Control who's not convinced that Sarah's herbal vitamins are the only factor linking the victims. If she's right, dozens of other pregnant women are at risk and the missing factor has nothing to do with natural causes. Suspense novel.
