MEDICAL ERROR

MEDICAL ERROR by Richard Mabry was read for the 2001 Medical Mystery Madness Challenge.

From Amazon.com:

Dr. Anna McIntyre's life was going along just fine until someone else started living it.  Her patient died because of an identity mix-up, her medical career is in jeopardy because of forged prescriptions, and her credit is in ruins.  she thought things couldn't get worse, but that was before she opened the envelope and saw a positive HIV test with her name on it.  Her allies are two men who are also competing for her affection.  Dr. Nick Valentine is a cynic who carries a load of guilt.  Attorney Ross Donovan is a recovering alcoholic.  The deeper Anna digs to discover who's behind the identity thefts, the higher the stakes.  Finally, when her life is on the line, Anna finds that her determination to clear her name might have been a prescription for trouble.

I didn't care too much for this book.  I thought the story was a little far-fetched with too many coincidences.  On the plus side, written by a doctor, the medical references were accurate, which is not always the case in medical mystery books.  He also tried to inject a little bit of religion into the book, which seemed out of place.

This was a new author for me.  I found the book while searching free books for my Kindle.  It turns out that this is the second book in a series.  I doubt that I'll bother looking for the first and subsequent books.
