Viral [sound recording] / Robin Cook.
"A family's exposure to a rare yet deadly virus puts them at the center of a terrifying danger to mankind--and pulls back the curtain on a healthcare system powered by greed and corruption"-- Provided by publisher.
Brian Murphy and his family are enjoying a relaxing summer excursion in Cape Cod when his wife, Emma, comes down with mild flu-like symptoms. But their leisurely return home to New York City quickly turns into a race to the ER as she begins seizing and falls into a coma. At the hospital, she is diagnosed with Eastern Equine Encephalitis, a rare and highly lethal mosquito-borne viral disease caught during one of their evening cookouts. Worse still, Brian and Emma's young daughter exhibits alarming signs of the same illness. Their traumatic hospital stay becomes even more stressful when Brian receives the first of many staggering hospital bills filled with outrageous charges his health insurance company refuses to cover. Shocked, he vows to seek justice, uncovering the dark side of an industry that has strayed drastically from its altruistic beginnings in the process.
