- catalog abstract "In Fatal Extraction, health care expert and former government investigator Mark Carl Rom presents an in-depth examination of the most compelling public health case since Typhoid Mary. The author takes readers step-by-step through the world of medical detective work, as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) must determine whether Dr. Acer indeed infected Kimberly Bergalis and other patients and, if so, whether Acer's actions were accidents or acts of premeditated murder. In this absorbing book, Rom uses the details of the "deadly dentist" case to raise myriad public health issues that are of concern to everyone. Fatal Extraction clearly shows how the CDC - and other government agencies - respond to the Bergalis case and similar incidents, examines why government officials act as they do, and questions what they can do differently. As the book unravels the mysteries surrounding Kimberley Bergalis's tragic infection, it informs readers of the actions we can expect (and should demand) our government to take to protect the health or patients, medical workers, and all citizens.".
