\nThe Gracevie w Patient \;by Caitlin Starling (copies on reserve on the second f loor of the Main Library).
\nDr. Marsh is treating a patient who cla ims to be experiencing impossible things&mdash\;visions\, time loops\, bod ily transformations. At first\, Dr. Marsh attributes this to mental illnes s\, but she begins experiencing similar phenomena herself. The line betwee n doctor and patient\, sane and insane\, real and delusion blurs completel y. As the hospital's dark history of unethical experiments comes to light\ , Dr. Marsh must question everything she knows about medicine\, reality\, and her own mind.
\nMargaret lives with a rare autoimmune condition that has destroyed her life\, leaving her isolated. It has no cure\, but s he&rsquo\;s making do as best she can&mdash\;until she&rsquo\;s offered a fully paid-for spot in an experimental medical trial at Graceview Memorial .
\nThe conditions are simple\, if grueling\; she will live at the h ospital as a full-time patient\, subjecting herself to the near-total dest ruction of her immune system and its subsequent regeneration. The trial wi ll essentially kill most of\, but not all of her. But as the treatment pro gresses and her body begins to fail\, she stumbles upon something sinister living and spreading within the hospital.
\nUnsure of what's real a nd what is just medication-induced delusion\, Margaret struggles to find a way out as her body and mind succumb further to the darkness lurking thro ughout Graceview's halls.
