Annotation:
A thriller about a subversive plot by the pharmaceutical industry to take over the entire medical profession. Adam Schonberg, a third-year medical student who is $20,000 in debt, feels forced to take a job with Arolin Pharmaceutical after he learns his wife is pregnant and has quit her job. Adam unwittingly discovers that the medical seminars sponsored by his firm are a coverup to brainwash physicians into prescribing Arolin's drugs. Furthermore, he learns that these physicians have begun working for a health maintenance clinic backed by the firm--the same clinic that his pregnant wife is using.
