The Greater Good is a medical thriller by Dr. Frank J. Sapienza. Dr. Jonathan Morrison’s son Mike always had a sensitive stomach with frequent diarrhea and vomiting, and it was getting worse. During the night, Jack woke Jon, as Mike was not breathing. Jon had to give Mike a tracheotomy on the floor of his room with a steak knife. Mike was suffering from cystic fibrosis, a severe chronic lung disease, which explained the chronic respiratory issues and the gastrointestinal disturbances. Martha Bigelow was involved in an accident, and Jon examined her after she arrived at the ER. Jon was concerned about her symptoms and sent her for tests. Martha was diagnosed with Huntington's disease. Martha’s daughter Darla had to deal with her mother’s diagnosis and the potential that she could also develop the disease.

The plot in The Greater Good is complex and interesting. Dr. Frank J. Sapienza had me hooked from the first page until the end. Different plots were woven together, and it was easy to follow as the chapters flowed into each other. The story was fast-paced and full of action. It was a page-turner, and the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what to expect next and I was kept guessing until the very end. The characters were authentic and relatable. Of all of them, my favorite character was Jon. He was willing to go to extremes so that he could give his son the necessary treatment. The growing relationship between Jon and Darla lightened the severity of their circumstances. This is an excellent medical thriller that far exceeded my expectations.
