  • "They called it "minor surgery," but Nancy Greenly, Sean Berman and a dozen others -- all admitted to Boston Memorial Hospital for routine procedures -- were victims of the same inexplicable, hideous tragedy on the operating table. They never woke up. Susan Wheeler is a third-year medical student working as a trainee at Boston Memorial Hospital. Two patients during her residency mysteriously go into comas immediately after their operations due to complications from anesthesia. Susan begins to investigate the causes behind both of these alarming comas and discovers the oxygen line in Operating Room 8 has been tampered with to induce carbon monoxide poisoning. Then Susan discovers the evil nature of the Jefferson Institute, an intensive care facility where patients are suspended from the ceiling and kept alive until they can be harvested for healthy organs. Is she a participant in -- or a victim of -- a large-scale black market dealing in human organs?"@en
  • "A third year medical student at a Boston teaching hospital uncovers a medical black market dealing in human organs when she investigates why two young patients have lapsed into comas. They called it minor surgery, but Nancy Greenly, Sean Berman, and a dozen others; all admitted to Boston Memorial Hospital for routine procedures were victims of the same inexplicable, hideous tragedy on the operating table. They never woke up. Considered one of the best books of the genre and the book that launched Robin Cook 's career, earning him the reputation as the master of the medical thriller Coma celebrates the 25th anniversary of its publication with this special mass market edition that includes a letter to readers from the author."@en
  • "Robin Cook is the author, and Coma is the book that introduced the world "medical" to the thriller genre. It's a spine-chilling shocker about a crime beyond imagining and the young medical student who commits herself to solving it. The surgery was routine -- the kind performed many times a day at Boston's most prestigious hospital. The teams that worked in OR #8 were among the best in the world. But even their skills couldn't make up for what was happening around them. Several patients, admitted to the hospital for minor surgery, never awoke. For some inexplicable reason, their brains had been destroyed."
