A Case of Need is Michael Crichton’s award-winning debut novel, written shortly after he completed his medical internship. Set against the ever-building pressure and pace of a large Boston medical center, the tensions flare-and explode-when a surgical operation tragically ends in death, raising countless questions. Was it accidental malpractice? A violation of the Hippocratic oath? Or cold-blooded murder? ([source][1])

I cannot tell you how many times I've read this book. When I first read it abortion was a viable option. Now, especially in Texas, it's a pipe dream. Sad that we're back at this point again.
