Blind Ambition

Review: ...but a bit basic in the plot. This book dares to tell it like it is -- refractive surgery is all too much about $ and not about patient safety. I commend Dr Greer for speaking up when others in his field are afraid to do so.

Review: As I read Blind Ambition, I was struck by the parallel between its plot: the faking of surgical data to drive up the stock price of a surgical laser manufacturing company, and the shady practices of Enron before its collapse. Blind Ambition is as engaging as it is timely.

Summary: I couldn't put this medical thriller down!
Review: I agree with what medical technothriller king Robin Cook, M.D., says on the front cover, "I love novels which are not only fun but teach you something ... Blind Ambition is one of them." The novel delivers what it promises on the back cover, "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 "miracle," and a larger understanding of what makes some modern doctors behave the way they do." Don't miss this page-turner, especially if you are nearsighted.
