有毒地帯〈上〉 (ハヤカワ文庫NV)

The story explores complex moral dilemmas in medicine—I'm curious what inspired the author to focus on this theme and how real-world issues influenced the plot.

While the tension was high overall, those sections felt a bit drawn out to me. Was that intentional to build suspense or just how the story unfolded?

The dual focus kept me hooked, but I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing. It added a layered feel to the narrative.
