Bad Medicine is a medical thriller that instantaneously entangles the reader in a web of intrigue and medical mayhem. It is the story of a struggle that pits doctors against doctors in a major American teaching hospital. It pulls the reader up and down emotionally because sooner or later we'll all encounter the medical community and this could be what faces us. This recently published medical thriller articulates everyone's worst fear. We all know that patients are at the mercy of their doctors and hospitals, and sometimes mistakes happen. But what if those mistakes were motivated by deception and greed? Or even blackmail? What would happen if misguided, even evil, physicians abandoned their moral obligations and banded together to protect themselves from their past and, at the same time, use their past to richen their lifestyles and their pockets at the expense of everything their profession holds sacred? Dr. Paul Auerbach is superbly qualified to tell this tale. The descriptions of medical academia ring true, and provide a perfect backdrop for the frightening thesis that medical care can be easily subordinated to criminal behavior. No one has ever written a thriller in which the medicine is more realistic and gut wrenching. It is a book you'll want to devoured from cover to cover, simply because it is too fascinating to put down.

It is much more than a first aid manual. True, Auerbach does not skimp on common-sense precautions: he suggests that a wise traveler must let friends know his or her itinerary in advance, attend to any known medical problems well before setting out and pack in anticipation of possible mishaps. The author also gives valuable information on first aid kits, immunizations, and transportation of injured victims. However, Auerbach goes beyond the call of duty in his detailed attention to heart attacks, chest injuries, falls, allergic reactions and strokes; he tells us what to do until a doctor arrives. Minor malaises such as strains and sprains, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, and food poisoning are also addressed. Other chapters focus on ailments related to altitude or excessive heat or cold. Especially useful are an extensive medical glossary and appendices on commonly used drugs and where to find further information about wilderness medicine. This indispensable handbook is not only for off-the-beaten-track travelers, but for anyone who has to worry about a physical crisis away from home.
