    About this audiobook

    TRAUMA

    Prepare to be hooked from page one of this shock-inducing medical thriller from
    New York Times bestselling author Michael Palmer and his son, acclaimed suspense novelist Daniel Palmer.


    Dr. Carrie Bryant is a much-admired neurosurgical resident at an esteemed Boston hospital. When the relentless pace of her residency leads to a life-shattering error, Carrie loses her confidence—and decides to quit her residency and move back home. Her new life’s purpose: To help her combat-vet brother, Adam, recover from a crippling case of post-traumatic stress disorder.


    “A unique novel that shows the strength of both authors’ work.”—Mystery Scene

    The experimental program at the VA Medical Center promises the possibility of curing the ravages of PTSD forever. It seems like Adam’s best option, but Carrie has her doubts when one of her patients goes missing…and then another. Carrie joins local investigative reporter David Hoffman in the hunt for answers. The hospital, however, is determined to keep its secrets at all costs. As Carrie and David descend into a labyrinth of murder and corruption, the price Carrie could pay for asking the wrong questions is her own life…


    “When it comes to inventive plots for medical thrillers, nobody does it better than Michael Palmer.”—Huffington Post

      This book was fantastic. It is a wonderful medical thriller. I don't know if they can work Carrie into any other stories but I really like her. It is always kind of scary to see what something that is to help people can be twisted to harm someone. I hope to read many more by Michael and Daniel Palmer.

      Carrie has become a well known neurosurgeon that is highly respected. During a procedure, one mistake changes her future forever. After being dismissed from her job at the hospital , she decides to go home. Her parents are there to support her during this transition in her life. She is glad to be home but still sees that her brother has not improved much. He has been suffering from PTSD. Adam seems fine by looking at him, but Carrie knows the turmoil going on inside his brain. She soon finds a new job that she believes will help her brother and others that suffer from PTSD. As she starts to do the procedure on a patient , she starts to see changes that should not be happening to the patient . Instead of improving, he seems to regressing. Cassie soon uncovers dark secrets about the program she has been working for. i If you are looking for a heart pounding nail biting ride, this is a must read. You can feel your heart race as the words from the pages grab you into the drama that the characters are living. The best medical thriller I have read. I feel as if I was right there with the characters as they faced danger,. I commend the authors for their intelligent thought provoking story that deals with a subject that many people suffer with everyday . A quote from the book Trauma says . " Rember those with invisible wounds." Thanks to the authors for reminding us that there are those that have wounds no one sees. (less) flagcomment · see reviewedit review

      This is a medical thriller centering on Dr. Carrie Bryant and her involvement in a secret program through the VA that is attempting to cure PTSD. Carrie is all too familiar with the horrible effects of this condition as her older brother suffers from it due to his service in Afghanistan. At the beginning there are times the book plods along, but it picks up speed in the middle and end, making it quite readable. It is a collaborative effort of father and son, son writing it after dad’s untimely death. It is a wonderful tribute to his dad.
    • 4/5
      Although Carrie was a little TOO unbelievably smart---that was fine--lots of twists and turns and who to trust, or not. I did NOT see the end coming but once I was there I realized I should have.
    • 3/5
      Initially gave me the impression of being a commentary on managed care. Then got into the murder aspect but the overtones of managed care commentary remained. It was an ok read but had no punch for me.
    • 3/5
      Decent thriller that has too many logical flaws to be great. It also is way too biased towards Doctors and not towards Insurance. By and large throughout the book doctors are noble selfless heroes and insurance executives are heartless money loving jerks. Character development by cliche. But it was worth finishing.
    • 3/5
      This book is a good medical thriller. Nothing super new or unique. But a pleasant way to pass the time. Will is a doctor who finds himself fighting HMO's. Soon, heads of HMO's are showing up murdered. Will finds himself a person of interest. He also develops feelings for detective Patty. Is he being framed, or is he involved with the murders?
