One student succumbs to the stress as Obie finds strength in his girlfriend, Priscilla, and a few close classmates. His part time research project involving a controversial cancer drug questions his integrity and allienates Priscilla. As Obie’s life crumbles, he stumbles upon a pivotable lab discovery.
Testimonial
It has been a number of years since I read as exciting a book as this. The book is magnetizing and full of interesting history and a description of some of the events that took place at a historical Virginian teaching institution. The book is so thrilling that makes the reader, once he/she starts reading, unable to stop reading till the finish. The book is an impressive historical resume of MCV and a diary of some very important research as well as some other important events that took place in this edifice called MCV, “The Medical College of Virginia.” Making it A MUST READ BOOK.
