Rating 4/5.
Another medical fiction beautifully written.
The final diagnosis takes the reader on the journey of the lives inside the hospitals which include not only the doctors but also the nurses, technicians and the administrative staff.
Set in a time,which in comparison to the present day medical field, can be called outdated, yet it portrays very vividly of what goes on in a hospital, the truckload of work involved and the struggle of the patients as well as the doctors.
The book, i found primarily focused on the need to be updated in case of medicine and being a medico myself i second this thought. The title remains justified, as back then THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS was given by the pathology department, and any error on their part could cause havoc in a perfectly normal prognosis, something which could have been handled in a better way ensuring survival or protection of the patients.
The various characters through their own parts reinforce the dignity and the responsibility which the people of the medical field ought to have. Though medicine has advanced a lot yet the politics, superiority complex of the seniors or experienced, the incapability to adapt to the changes outside or in their domain still remains,till the day something unfortunate happens.
Truly, a page turner with many medical procedures written in a way that is easily understood even by the lay people with a dignified ending which couldn't have been anything else with an intact conscience which a doctor should have.
