Drawing on his own experience as a member of a hospital emergency room staff, Michael Palmer's expert authenticity makes this a most sinister and chlling novel which reveals a dark side of medicine, and plays on the reader's own worstfears about hospitals. A frightening tale in which the dead may not really bedead, this story incorporates elements of conspiracy and voodoo into its already somber tones.

This book is now a major motion picture from Castle Rock Entertainment. Starring Hugh Grant, Gene Hackman and Sarah Jessica Parker. One of the most gripping medical thrillers I've read.

One of the best books by Michael Palmer and quite
different from the not-so-good movie they made on it,
Extreme Measures is very compelling, especially for the
ones who enjoy medical thrillers or Robin Cook. A very
nice reading. A wonderful book.
