I do not usually read thrillers. I could not put this down. It involves ER docs, cops, sex, murder, etc. Written by an ER doc.
I was at North Memorial for an appointment and the author was selling the paperbacks as he does once per year to benefit some foundation.
Damn! I dare not pick up the other two titles I bought. This guy is addicting. It is set in the twin cities which is interesting.

Nerve Damage is simply an exceptional Medical Thriller. After 15 years in the medical field, both pre-hospital EMS, Helicopter Medevac, and in-hospital ER, ICU, CCU, and NICU, I find it challenging to enjoy a good mystery or thriller based in a medical setting. They are often inaccurate, falling woefully short of reality or blatantly hyped and over the top. Well, CHALLENGE MET!
Dr. Combs knows how to weave an intricate, fast-paced story, with well-developed characters and suspenseful plot-lines. When you combine the elements of a great story and present them in an accurate, authentic, and realistic medical setting I am all in! I can't wait to read the next book.
Two things that really stand out to me about this author:
1. He has found a unique way to balance the technical, medical and clinical aspec's of the setting, and present them in a way that is clear and understandable for a wide audience, while still providing readers "in the field" an authentic and credible read.
2. It is obvious that Dr. Combs has great respect for the other professionals and support staff that work in the medical field, as well as those in law enforcement, EMS/fire-rescue, and aviation.
