Review – Medical Judgment

Someone is after Dr. Sarah Gordon. They’ve stalked her and set a fire at her home. Trying to recover from the traumatic deaths of her husband and infant daughter is tough enough, but she has no idea what will come next. Her late husband’s best friend and a recovering alcoholic detective are trying to solve the mystery before it’s too late, but both appear to be vying for her affection as well. Sarah finds herself in constant fear as the process plays out.

As the threats on her life continue to escalate, so do the questions: Who is doing this? Why are they after her? And with her only help being unreliable suitors in competition with each other, whom can she really trust?

My thoughts; When life happens – and it does happen, to everyone – one of the first casualties seems to be that of judgment; the ability to assess a situation, consider all the parameters, and arrive at an understanding of the situation that will lead inexorably to an appropriate, decisive response.  The presence of clinical judgment in a physician is absolutely essential.

Through no fault of her own, Dr. Sarah Gordon, a skilled Emergency Room physician, is beginning to doubt her Medical Judgment.

The traumatic deaths of her husband and infant daughter were sufficient enough shock to cause her to lose her equilibrium.  Since then, someone has stalked her, set a fire in her home, and sent a warning shot within inches of her head.

As if that weren’t enough to cloud her judgment, Sarah has somehow managed to garner the attention of not one . . . not two . . . but three different men, without even trying.  Can life get anymore complicated?

But Sarah has good friends, one of whom reminds her that we are all living in a broken world . . . and there is One who is able to put it all back together again, turn mourning into dancing . . . and restore her Medical Judgment.

Dr. Mabry has a master’s touch, skillfully interweaving medical drama with that of life in a way that produces fiction that fairly crackles with tension and suspense, faith and passion.  His ability to “keep you guessing” results in a book that grabs your attention and refuses to let go until the final page.
