I thought Oxygen was a great book. I'm a nurse and your book might have saved my career. What I learned from your book was "nobody cares as much about my career and reputation as I do."
I liked how you didn't over-explain the medical stuff as I found it really annoying in Josh Bazell's "Beat the Reaper" (very obvious he was an intern.) I could also relate to the propensity to mull a case over and over until you think you know what really happened.
The plot twist at the end came totally unexpected to me, and I was sad that Dr. Heaton's romance ended, but as a plot device it was intriguing.
Can't wait for your next book!
