A powerful medicine

What made Arthur Hailey so popular, what makes millions of people return to his works again and again? It's simple: in all his books, he studied a wide variety of professional communities, as if under a microscope... A bank, a hotel, an airport, a newspaper office, a hospital, an airplane, a police station - Hailey makes the reader become one of the employees, one of the cogs in the machine that makes up a single whole. His novels can be read for the exciting, thrilling plot - but the main thing in them is always the people. People in whose place any of us could find ourselves. Their reactions. Their passions, intrigues, their love and hate, their egoism, courage - and the will to live. They are doctors. Good doctors. Too good... Too good not to be completely honest... To not lose great love... To not avoid eternal troubles... To not suffer and not torment themselves because of someone else's pain... And doctors become heroes. People who find a way out of hopeless situations. Because a doctor's courage is the most powerful medicine.
