Prognosis Critical

An Authentic Medical Thriller

De: Gary Birken

Narrado por: Layla Fatima

Dr. Jacey Flanigan has worked tirelessly to achieve her dream of becoming a pediatric cardiologist. But when she moves to Manhattan to begin her career at a prestigious children's hospital, she discovers that the medical profession may not be what she expected.

An encounter with an arrogant heart surgeon on her first day sets the tone for what's to come - a world of enigmatic physician behavior and questionable cardiac surgical practices cloaked in secrecy.

As she navigates this new world, Jacey finds herself facing a difficult moral dilemma: turn a blind eye to malpractice and protect her fledgling career, or risk everything by delving deeper into suspicious activity.

With deadly secrets and unexpected consequences lurking around every corner, Jacey must decide whether to stay silent or speak up, even if it means putting everything on the line—including her life.

The plot was interesting, and held my attention. Subject matter was appropriate for today’s society.

I enjoyed the med medically base story. The use of different voices for characters by the narrator was a little difficult at times.

Great Story, Narrator Not So Much

I found this audiobook's story quite engaging, but the narration was so annoying that I constantly checked how much I had left because I did not connect with the narrator. The way she changed her voice for the male characters vacillated between someone dying and Thurston Howell (for those old enough to recognize the reference). The female characters sounded like scared children, Paula Deen or a snotty valley girl. One was worse than the next. I would READ a Gary Birken, MD book again, but I would never listen to one with this narrator again. It would have been a more pleasant experience if she had just used her regular voice.

Loved it

Great medical thriller keeps you guessing till the end. Can’t wait to read his next book

Awful narrator wierd ending

This narrator was absolutely awful at mimicking male voices (cringeworthy) the reason for the deaths of the children and the conclusion did not really match. The build up of suspicious deaths was not really explained in the conclusion, only the reason for fast recovery. All in all, it was an ok listen aside from the narration.

Not so much a mystery

I have really enjoyed his other books. This one was just blah.
I’m sending it back

Good story!

The voices for men threw me off because everyone sounded really old, but the story was really good! It had a happy ending too, which I really like in a story.

Very captivating medical story

Loved the story, it’s unpredictable and very suspenseful with many cliffhangers! I stayed up all night listening, couldn’t stop.

the main character, Jaycee

a good medical story with a twist @ the end I didn't see coming.

The characters and how realistic! I really enjoyed this book!

I love the book! Gary has been a great surgeon and it is no surprise that he a great author! Such a great read!!

Great story with twists and turns

I thought this was well written. I enjoyed the characters. The plot kept twisting and turning. It was an enjoyable read throughout the entire 73 chapters.
