Death Committee

By: Noah Gordon

A bestseller when it came out in 1969, "The Death Committee" tells the story of Suffolk County General Hospital where three brilliant young men are brought together by their ambition and passionate dedication to life. But they work in the shadow of the Death Committee, a formidable hospital tribunal where doctors sit in judgment of their peers, deciding who is to blame when a death could have been prevented. During an unforgettable year of love and fear, failure and victory, the young doctors must face the crucial dramas and triumphs of hospital life. The author, Noah Gordon (b. 1926), became famous for his books about medical history and medical ethics. His 1986 book "The Physician" has just been made into a movie "Der Medicus" being released in early 2014.
