I read all of the Med Center books when I was in middle school. Now, I'm a senior in high school, but this book came up on one of my Amazon searches, and it truly was a "blast" from the past. I think these books are what got me interested in medicine in the very first place. I had always read Diane Hoh's books (especially the Nightmare Manor ones!), and I checked this one out on a whim.
The book was entertaining...just the kind of thing middle school kids would like. Looking back on it now, I realize that some of the things may have been highly improbable (for example, the character Will was just out of high school and already a paramedic - paramedic training takes longer than that to complete.)
I think what I loved best about these books was the excitement and romance, I rememberd thinking - "I want to do that!" And surely enough, I've volunteered in hospitals, done job shadows, gone to forums and conferences, and in the spring I have an internship in a hospital, then in the fall I will finally be a pre-med student and on my way to medical school. I guess I was really liking the romanticized view of medicine shown in these books, but now that I have realized what medicine is really like, I have no regrets, I am still as interested in it as the day I read the books.
It's a great way for middle school kids to get a sneak peek into medicine. I will definitely be reading all of these books again, just for kicks!

This is a truly awesome book. Even though I have only read 2 books in the Med Center series, I am already addicted. She uses down-to-earth characters and real-not-real situations. A refreshing change from other books I've read. If you were like me, thinking that series are stupid and so old-fashioned you'll definitely change your mind when you read this book. Happy reading!

One night at Grant University there was a mishap with chemicals in the science lab. Tim Beech is a student there and he was working on something at nine at night. Jeremy, a "friend" of his was invited there by Tim. Tim was finishing up and Jeremy was about to leave. All of a sudden Tim said uh-oh and the building exploded in a flash of light. When the ambulances got there, they started right away. The people dug for any survivers that might be under there. Sid, a boy in a wheelchair lifted up a huge slab of stone and uncovered a few survivers. They were rushed to the hospital imediately and got tended to. In a matter of hours more people were uncovered. When Will, a volunteer had been carefully trying to get to Damon. The third floor, which was left standing, was making louder and scarier noises than before. In a matter of seconds it came crashing down on Will, crushing him. Damon and a bunch of other helpers worked together to get the last set of people out. After that, they managed to find Will and get him out of the mess too.
