The Final Diagnosis, gives us a tension-packed drama and mammoth complexity of a great hospital...a world where one faulty diagnosis, one irrevocable error precipitates appalling tragedy. In this enthralling story of a young pathologist's struggle to restore the standards of a hospital controlled by an ageing and once-brilliant doctor, Hailey takes us behind the reception areas, the emergency rooms and the bustling words, to reveal the hidden corridors of a world the patient never sees... The Final Diagnosis, which introduces a compelling cast of characters, is Arthur Hailey writing at the very height of his powers.
