The characters were well-developed, and I found myself invested in their lives. The plot was well thought out and had enough twists and turns to keep me on the edge of my seat. I appreciated the attention to detail, and the author did a great job of creating a vivid world that was easy to picture in my mind.
The themes explored in the book were thought-provoking and gave me a lot to consider. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story with well-developed characters.
Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this book and would definitely read it again. It was a great addition to my reading collection, and I can't wait to see what else this author has in store.

It was interesting. A real page turner. Very well thought out and written. He had great descriptive writing skills.

Bad Medicine is a tightly woven thriller that’s a fast easy read. Kept me engaged and was well done for the second book in a series. I found myself quite enjoying it very well developed storytelling.

James Cohoon is owning the medical thriller. He has a natural storytelling talent. Bad Medicine is a compulsively readable story.

First time reading this author's work and I am very happy I picked up this book. Lots of suspense that keeps you wondering until the very end. Bad Medicine is one book I highly recommend.

Thos looks to be the second in a series, of the adventures of a talented junior Doctor and her wealthy student doctor husband, who are already set on a path of dispensing real justice to wrong-doers in the medical profession. The fact that this can involve murder is no neither here nor there.

This one is about an investigation into a private practise that promises to miraculously cure children with cancer without the inonvenience of intrusive surgery or painful chemotherapy. The trouble is, the cures don't work. And the distraught parents dont5get their money back.

The investigation becomes fast-paced action, with helicopter rides, car chases and shoot-outs before the villains are dealt with., so the suspense is maintained. In a James Bond-like way, so is the glamour, as our medical dynamic duo live a privileged live with husband's inheritance.

It is hard to believe that any junior doctor would, no matter how gifted, how much of a genius, get away with confronting colleagues, no matter how incompetent, our heroine does here. The front line has no place for the ego of rookies, not in medicine, or in any other profession where the stakes are high. From that point of view, there is an element of unrealism, or fantasy, to this novel - or of wish fulfilment for downtrodden underlings.

The question also remains - what about the morality of creating characters who are set at taking justice into their own hands. even if it means bumping off charlatans with prejudice?

Ah well, this is of course, just fiction....

Torrey and Matthew are first year resident doctors. So they are busy people when the prison guard from the first book contacts them for help. A scammy doctor is ripping off parents of children with cancer. No way can they let him get away with it. This is a revenge thriller that kept me interested and turning pages. I liked it!

Unfortunately this book failed to it the spot…
The plot was too predictable, the characters too shallow, the editing unrefined… I lost interest half way through the story (sorry, my personal opinion).

I received an advance copy of, Bad Medicine, by James B. Cohoon. This is a good medical mystery. I really liked the couple, Torrey and Matthew. A great read.

Just finished reading this medicine fiction book. Part 2 of an excellent series, this quick-read is an enjoyable story with interesting characters and a well-designed plot.

Torrey Jamison and Matthew Preston are newlyweds who have taken positions at Kaiser Hospital in San Diego. Matthew measures his responses while Torrey is the brilliant knee-jerk fireball and they both have issues, specifically Matthew who goes totally against his persona to work at San Quentin for the sole purpose of revenge.

However, having fulfilled that act of personal justice, now the wheels have flipped for Torrey and she is head and shoulders into stopping (forever) a doctor who is pulling in major bucks on a phony cancer treatment for children with terminal cancer.

I just wasn’t able to swallow that these two medical residents would risk everything to devote any “extra” time they had to investigating the doctor and his phony practice. The narrative went a bit unrealistic. I couldn’t understand the flip in their moral codes or the choices made as persons of the profession to “do no harm” and found the writing style a bit awkward.

I didn’t read Book 1, but found this standalone a little too improbable and the pacing was a bit slow for me. There will be those who follow medical thrillers with twists and they will enjoy but perhaps it just wasn’t the book for me. 3.5 stars

This in the second book in this series, however it can be read as a stand alone book. I enjoyed reading the book, however as I have a background in the medical field, I found it improbable that medical personnel would do some of the things that were done in this book. If you can overlook those things, the book is a good read.

This was my first introduction to James Cohoon and I loved it. I am a massive fan of medicine and medical novels and this was the perfect mixture of hospital drama and thriller. The characters were great. The story is full of twists and turns and at times very unrealistic which was entertaining and interesting. It was quite eye opening as a New Zealander as well to have some insights into the American health care system. The two Doctors at the centre of the book were relatable and I was rooting for them the whole time. The ending tidied everything up for me and I can't wait to go back and read the first in the series.

This may well be the worst and most ludicrous book I have ever read in my entire life. The plot, if you can call it that, is ridiculous. The writing is abysmal. Unless I’ve missed the point and this book is intended to be a farcical fantasy, I stand by my comments.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley. Thank goodness I didn’t pay good money for it.

Hmmm... what can I say about this book? Not my cup of tea, for sure. It was difficult to reconcile the idea of a doctor who’s sworn « to not harm » with the complete opposite in this story. A vigilante, and she has a darker side than him.

This is the second book in The Medical Students series, and it can be read as a stand-alone. However, I had a little time, so I read the first book in the series before reading this one. Torrey and Matthew feature prominently in both books. They are a couple that you can’t help but to fall in love with. Both are high-functioning individuals, but they have a heart and a little different way of looking at things. As newlyweds and new doctors in a new city, they put their lives and their marriage on the line to help a friend and right some wrongs that they come across in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the new book in the series. This was a nice suspenseful read. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

As a healthcare provider myself, I found this book to be an excellent work of FICTION. Taking this book at face value of the medical profession would be like watching Grey's Anatomy for medical accuracy. It's all very entertaining but highly fictitious.

Matt Preston and his wife Torrey are just starting their residencies at a hospital in San Diego. Dr. Matt is a very practical guy (mostly) and likes to plan. Torrey is a tough, take no BS, speaks her mind person. They seem like totally opposite personalities, yet somehow it works. Anyway, the crux of the plot is that it comes to their attention that a "doctor" is offering phony cancer treatments to patients claiming miracle cures without the hassles of surgery, chemo and radiation. Sounds too good to be true? Well you know what they say. Torrey seems to be the Batman of hospitals, swooping in to save the day and her patients from all the injustices of the hospital system.

Overall I found this book highly entertaining. I would even consider going back to read the first book in the series. The story is often dramatic and unrealistic but there are some unfortunate parts that did ring true and highlight some of the significant faults in the American healthcare system. Just don't get what is referred to in the book as the nocebo effect. Enjoy Mr. Cohoon's highly effective prose and his abilities to create suspense. Would recommend for anyone who likes medical thrillers.

Part of an excellent series, this quick-read is an enjoyable story with interesting characters and a well-designed plot.
