I love novels which are not only fun but teach you something...Blind Ambition is one of them. -- Robin Cook, M.D. An unidentified young woman stabbed to death... The launching of a revolutionary new laser operation for nearsightedness... A hot new IPO on the NASDAQ A mysterious blind vagrant in the E.R.... Nobody suspects these are linked -- except for disaffected New York City eye surgeon Jack Stegall and his inquisitive medical student girlfriend, Gabrielle, who began their own undercover investigation. The deceased woman's corneas are their only clue, but witnesses wind up dead, evidence vanishes, and authorities act strangely hostile. When Dr. Stegall and Gabrielle blow the whistle, they find their own lives caught in a perilous race against time. Blind Ambition is a page-turning medical thriller, yet more: an insider's view of the world of impaired eyesight and laser eye surgery which offers readers -- particularly the millions of nearsighted afflicted with glasses or contact lenses -- a disturbing look at what may lurk behind high tech miracles, and a larger understanding of what makes some modern doctors behave the way they do. A graduate of Princeton and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Greer interned at New York's St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital and trained in ophthalmology at the Edward Harkness Institute of Ophthalmology. Since then Dr. Greer has practiced ophthalmology and eye surgery in Washington, D.C., serving also on the clinical faculties of the Georgetown and George Washington University Medical Centers. A page turner. - Timothy Foote, editor, Smithsonian The most engrossing medical novel since Coma. - Y. Amdemariam Page-turning suspense - D. H. Martin, M.D. A believable odyssey of medical invention and reckless profit-seeking - E. Havens, D.O. I honestly could not put it down. - M.

[EAN: 9780595151110], New book, [PU: iUniverse, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. An unidentified young woman stabbed to death, the launching of a revolutionary new laser operation for nearsightedness, a hot new IPO on the NASDAQ, a mysterious blind vagrant in the ER. Nobody suspects these are linked -- except for New York City eye surgeon Jack Stegall and his medical student girlfriend, Gabrielle, who begin their own undercover investigation. When they blow the whistle, they find their own lives caught in a perilous race against time. Blind Ambition is a medical thriller, but also an insider's view of the world of impaired eyesight and laser eye surgery -- which offers readers a disturbing look at what may lurk behind high tech "miracles," and a larger understanding of what makes some modern doctors behave the way they do.<
