Secondary Impact (A Dr. Danny Tilson Novel) Paperback – October 28, 2015

Secondary Impact is really good a combines a good medical story with the family dynamics that have hooked me in the Dr. Danny Tilson series. I was left hanging a bit and wished there was another book to continue the story line. I've read 12 of Dr. Ebel's books and I could be at the end of the line, for now.

Thank you Dr.Ebel for an informative, thoroughly enjoyable series. The books certainly held my attention I found it hard to put them down

The subject of this novel is very interesting because a few months ago, I watched a documentary on the ongoing effect of head injuries in sports such as football and basketball. The effects of inner brain trauma experienced has not been on the agenda of coaches who usually send the player back onto the field as quickly as possible. As a result, sportsmen's lives have been impacted in later years by ongoing brain damage which may manifest itself in memory loss and other impairment.Barbara Ebel's neurosurgeon, Danny Tilson, is on the ball in this excellent medical plot. His daughter, Annabel's boyfriend, suffers what is seemingly a minor knock out during a basketball game. At first there doesn't appear to be any damage, but Danny tells the youth not to play basketball AT ALL. Annabel, who knows very well that her father has issued this edict, stands by while the boyfriend, disregarding the advice of her father, plays basketball with his mates and of course gets injured again. This rather silly girl then blames her father for what happens, but this is cleverly used to set up the climax of the plot.I am hoping that Dr Ebel is working on the plot for another Danny Tilson story because this saga is far from over!

Secondary Impact, #4 in the series, was such easy reading, as I had binged read the first three. I was so familiar with the characters I felt as if I were in the middle of all the excitement. Could have read in one setting, as you want to know what is gonna happen next. The medical advancements Danny has made are fabulous, the medical terminology is understandable, for us lay people. Thank you Barbara.will there be a 5th book, so much more to write about this family. Seriously would not recommend reading out of sequence, enjoy.

I just finished reading all four of Ms.Ebel's books and throughly enjoyed them all. I especially like having all the books before I start reading so I don't have to wait. Each book had its own medical issue stories which were interesting and then the continuing story of Danny and his family from The first book through the end. Most enjoyable reading for readers who like medical mysteries.

Unfortunate young student gets hit in the head, twice, in a basketball game causing seizures. His girl friends father who is a neurosurgeon comes to the circuitous rescue after trying drugs and finally a surgical implant that ends the horrible seizure activity. Dr. Tilson is a good family man who loves his wife, dog, family but was snared into a love affair with a bimbo who just won't let go!

Danny is such a outstanding doctor, how come he is such a dummy figuring out Rachel. He knows how she thinks and connives to get what she wants. How could he not fight for his baby in court.

Barb Ebel has written yet another great book in the Dr. Danny Tilson series. It's fill with interesting medical facts that really fit into our current time and a twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Thanks Barb, please keep writing more and more as we have fallen in love with this series.

Enjoyable read but rather predictable concerning his nemesis and I personally feel things are sometimes left dangling a bit. I do, nevertheless, get stuck in!

Very enjoyable, I like medical fiction.

Good story as always but rather abrupt ending.

Very good story

Good storyline. Enjoyed it greatly.
