To make the decision more difficult, one of the patients is the former President of the U.S. and the other is the woman the doctor loves. Dr. Josh Pearson finds himself in just this &#8220;lifeboat&#8221; type conundrum when he suddenly learns that he has been chosen to replace the former President&#8217;s personal physician.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miracle Drug&#8221; is a tense, contemporary medical suspense story that takes the reader behind the scenes as doctors, Secret Service members, and local law enforcement work together to save the lives of the former President and a young nurse who had been infected with a rare but deadly disease and to discover who wants the ex-President dead and is willing to kill others to achieve their purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Josh Pearson is the stand-out character in &#8220;Miracle Drug&#8221; but several others have fairly strong supporting roles. The story moves along at a good pace with suspicion cast towards several possible killers and motives before its end. Several characters exhibit a strong faith and prayer is mentioned frequently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miracle Drug&#8221; did not seem to be quite as suspenseful as some of Mabry&#8217;s earlier novels but it was nevertheless a riveting read that held my attention throughout. I try to never miss Dr. Mabry&#8217;s novels and am pleased that I had the chance to read this one. I enthusiastically recommend it to all who enjoy a good medical suspense.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overcoming these odds will take more than a miracle drug\u2014it will take a miracle.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The infection wasn\u2019t supposed to happen, but it did. The treatment was supposed to take care of it, but it didn\u2019t. Then Dr. Josh Pearson discovers why\u2014his patients, including the former President of the United States, have been dosed with a different strain of the original virus, one that is universally fatal. The only chance for survival is treatment with an experimental drug, but the manufacturer might already have discarded its supply.<\/p>\n<p>As if treating the President of the United States isn\u2019t stressful enough, the situation goes from bad to worse when Rachel Moore, a nurse Josh is falling in love with, falls ill.
