The DNR Trilogy: Volume 3: Clinical Justice is the sprawling final installment in the medical thriller trilogy by Don W. Hill MD.  Although a standalone, readers are advised to read the previous volumes for more clarity on the characters and their personalities.

When the eccentric medical student, J.D. Brewster, and the anti-hero in the story suffers an unsuccessful murder attempt that leaves him physically damaged, his mind aches for retribution. Things spiral further downwards when his girlfriend dies of complications from diabetes making his friends shun away from him all along blaming him for her death. This aggravates his burning desire to seek revenge as the isolation sparks further hatred.

Slowly, Brewster welcomes the covert clinical justice system and ends up organizing a secret revenge mission that shakes the very walls of the medical institution. With keen precision and candor, the author re-introduces characters from the previous books giving them a final send-off in this last installment. He provides a glossary of medical terminology that serves as a reference for difficult terms used across the chapters. By turns wry, vicious, resolute, and heart-filled, the text is a win-win in several aspects.

Further, Brewster’s pensive discourses across the pages spark up passive plot disclosures. The dialogue in the text further offers forums for discussions while also equipping readers with crucial information in every cleverly executed scene. Hill also deftly breaks down the convolutions of the human embodiment and haplessly uncovers the extent of its depravity and goodness. He manages to grasp the mood and offers an enthralling experience for even jaded readers of medical thrillers.

Hill’s impastos are fine, his creativity encircling mankind from its most considerate to its most disgraceful creating comprehensive, enlightening, and broad dimensions. Through this, the text succeeds in displaying the richness of his artistry and his ingenuity as an author fastening the apex of the book’s particular genre.

Intriguing, never boring or lacking, The DNR Trilogy: Volume 3: Clinical Justice by Don W. Hill MD proves an engaging 5-star read. It is sure to meet with approval from fans of the series and is artlessly recommended.
