Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:

There are many ways to die in a hospital...being sick is only one of them.
Chief resident Steve Mitchell is the quintessential surgeon: ambitious, intelligent, confident. Charged with molding a group of medical trainees into doctors, and in line for a coveted job, Steve's future is bright. But then a patient mysteriously dies, and it quickly becomes clear that a killer is on the loose in his hospital. A killer set on playing a deadly game with Steve. A killer holding information that could ruin his career and marriage. Now, alone and under a cloud of suspicion, Steve must discover a way to outsmart his opponent and save the killer's next victim before the cycle repeats itself again and again...
A chilling and compelling thriller that also takes you into the hospital and details the politics and hierarchy among doctors, as well as the life and death decisions that are made by flawed human beings, Kelly Parsons' Doing Harm marks the gripping debut of a major fiction career.

This book deserves 10 stars. Well written, lots of cool medical jargon, and stuff I"ve not heard of before, which is huge! The plot held my interest and the ending sort of leaves things open for some characters to return again in either a sequel or a standalone novel. I really hope this guy writes more books, he should be on the best seller lists for sure. ( )

Received from NetGalley in exchange for a review.

Holy crap, this book! The first few chapters roped me in. The author is a doctor in real life so it is clear he knows what he is talking about. When he is describing the main character's thought process during surgery I thought what a cocky bastard and then I thought well, if someone is going to be operating on me I think I kind of want them to be confident that they know what they are doing. The author also can write a death scene like no one's business. I thought I had the bad guy all figured out and boy was I wrong. I read the entire book in one day and I look forward to seeing more from [a:Kelly Parsons|2384483|Kelly Parsons|https://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-d9f6a4a5badfda0f69e70cc94d962125.png] in the future.

Fast-paced and tense medical thriller. The medical procedures are sometimes described in terminology that is too complicated, but for the most part it was very absorbing. It made me feel like I never want to be admitted to a hospital again, however! I felt the ending was a little rushed, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. I look forward to the author's next book. ( )

horribly boring. Tried to hard to make it seem plausible, so that it came off seeming like an episode of a poorly written tv show. since it was a debut I'll be skipping whatever comes next from this guy. ( )

But, whatever. Doctors like to say stuff in Latin because it makes us sound smart. And, anyway, the essence of Hippocrates’ message is the same in any language.
Primum, non nocere.
First, do no harm.
…good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
