Asklepion

by Thomas Nielsen

In the years since his wife’s death, Dr. Jefferson Freeman has invented a personal implantable device, the SmartChip, which performs tests and stores individual health care information. Freeman is eager to get this revolutionary technology into widespread use, so physicians can improve patient health and streamline the medical system. The government is eager to get its hands on the chip as well, since it promises to save billions in health care spending. But the government has plans for the chip that Freeman never envisioned.

The new National Care System wants to use the chip to monitor medication compliance, alcohol and drug use, and more. When Freeman voices his concerns and objections, he runs into formidable opposition. Meanwhile people are getting sick and dying from an unknown infectious disease. Discredited and framed for the murder of his best friend, Freeman teams up with Dr. Beth Davis—a physician and radio personality—and an underground organization of doctors and hackers to clear his name, stop an epidemic, and save the country from tyranny.
