A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Sheldon Cohen has practiced internal medicine and served as a medical director of the Alexian Brother's Medical Center of Northwest Suburban Chicago and as medical director of two managed care organizations: Cigna Health plan of Illinois and Humanicare Plus of Illinois. The author taught internal medicine and physical diagnosis to medical students from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and the Chicago Medical School. Recognizing the fact that busy physicians are pressed for time and thus often fail to capture a thorough medical history, the author perfected one of the first computerized medical history systems for private practice and wrote a paper on his experience with 1,500 patients who utilized the system. This was one of the early efforts in promoting electronic health records, a work in progress to this day. The author served as a consultant for joint commission resources of the joint commission on accreditation of health-care organizations, did quality consultations at hospitals in the United States, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Copenhagen, Denmark, and served as a consultant to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine, assisting them in the development of a hospital accrediting body. Dr. Cohen is the author of twenty-six books.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

One Friday night in Chicago, two friends leave their neighborhood bar and go home. One man never makes it. Stabbed in the heart by a crazed assailant, the victim is brought to a nearby hospital. A respected young carpenter who seems to have it all-wife, children, friends-finds himself in the same hospital. Mysterious stomach pains, violent mood swings, and uncharacteristic forgetfulness have plagued George Gilmer. Though he remembers nothing, it was his knife that killed the man, his blood on the man's body. Brainstorm leads the reader into a world where the human capacity for evil extends beyond belief, into a world where it is hard to draw the line between insanity and innocence.
