Medical Fiction
It has been some time I read some Medical Fiction. Recently I read ‘Natural Causes’ by Michael Palmer who is an M.D. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages. He had spent 20 years as a full-time practitioner of internal and emergency medicine, and is now an associate director of the Massachusetts Medical Society’s physician health program. He has written many medical fictions.
The book Natural Causes mainly deals with a Obs/Gyn M.D. Lady doctor who is well versed in Alternative Healing and Modern Medical Methods. The book combines the challenge that Medical Professionals face, Court Drama, Murder, Pre Natal Vitamins, Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Genes, Virus, Malpractice, DIC and Hospital Management.
Sometimes books are more engrossing than a movie. And not to mention the recent Tamil flops. I heard that out of 77 Tamil movies released this year only Subramanyapuram and Dasavatharam had been a commercial hit. The Tamil crowd knows what they want, the minimum being a good story and screenplay.

Only two hits from total 77 ???? That is a really bad hit ration. And I thought tamil industry is the best in the country…. WIth all the useless movies that Hindi industry makes they are making more money is surprising…
