This is fiction that presents in a documentary form the case that America's medical system is broken. I do not know how valid the points made in the novel are, and this review is based on the assumption they are valid. The argument is that approximately 100,000 general medical practitioners have had their licenses revoked by court action, mainly following the Clinton period efforts to reduce medical costs, and which have presumably been kept going ever since. The story follows Anna, who happens to know a Doctor Helene Quaile, and Helene stops practicing for health reasons, and to keep pests away, keeps all her correspondence coming through a mail center. Enter a prosecutor, who gets "points" for the number of doctors he can decommission, and Helene is an easy target because when he sends notices to out-of-date addresses, she does not receive them, and hence does not turn up to defend herself against trumped up charges. What eventuates is a corrupt bureaucratic nightmare, with a touch of Kafka, except that Helene is not objecting because she is unaware. This is a specific example, but according to the author, the points made are general.What follows is an account of the court proceedings, and a note on the economics. Such a doctor accused should roll over, give the prosecutor what he wants, or fight a legal battle that won't be won, but will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. This is a terrible indictment of the American legal system, the insurance system, and the bureaucracy on doctors. The documentary form is done very well, and it feels as if it could be true. The characters, other than Anna, are more caricatures, aimed at painting the plot, but then again, that is a technique that Dickens made his own to show sociological problems. Stahl is not up to Dickens' writing standard, but who is? Apart from some editing issues, well done.

The Monster Chase Marion A Stahl 9780967064345 Books Reviews
A Monster Chase, Health Care Criminalization by Marion A. Stahl is a fictional story that reads quite true to life. Of course the names are changed to protect the innocent but they are also changed to protect the guilty. The story follows a young woman who is married to a doctor and she is following the story of another doctor, a woman who was once her own physician. The female doctor has lost her license due to a false accusation of fraud.
It is hard to believe that the medical regulatory boards would treat doctors in the manner described in the book but I imagine that they have to err on the side of caution to protect the general public from the unethical few.
The story itself is interesting and I could see how this could actually happen, in fact I have a suspicion that the facts of the book are loosely based on actual events. But there are numerous grammatical errors in the book and to me that detracts from its quality. But it is definitely worth the read, especially if you are in the HealthCare Industry.
I have rather strong beliefs when it comes to the healthcare industry, and this book was a perfect complement to my sentiments. Seeing my suspicions splayed out in such beautiful prose often made me forget that I was reading a "fiction" book, because so much of the exposition and premise was realistic and based in current trends and issues we are all facing. I was enraptured from the start, but I felt that there were some moments when the story got in the way of the characters; in other words, I think that the message that Stahl wanted to share overpowered the actual plot, and I occasionally felt a bit bored or too caught up in the details of the back-office dealings and intrigue. This was a cross between and expose, and indictment, and a warning, but it certainly wasn't like a traditional novel (in my opinion). I think that if the author wanted to reach a broader audience, which should read this book for all of the wise, cautionary wisdom in it, then perhaps a bit more of an engaging plot line is necessary. This sounds highly critical, but I'm only saying this because the book is so good, and the information in it is so insightful (and frightening), that I want it to be as appealing to others as possible. Overall, an impressive revelation about an important part of modern society.
