Just finished Case of need

The first novel by Michael Christon. He was just 26 yrs old at that time. When I started reading the novel, I got frustrated in first two pages. All it says about the medical profession. The entitre novel is written for doctors, and medical professionals. There are lot many terms used in novel which are beyond the scope of normal person. I got interested in story, only when Art got arrested.
The subject of the novel is abortion. Should it be legal or illegal? One girl from a good family, dies because of faulty abortion. The novel runs around who is the abortionist. As said ealier lot of medical words and jargons present in the novel, which sometimes bore the reader. The author must have learnt from this experience, and then in rest of his novels, out more weight on the story line.
