'Robin Cook' (born May 4 1940 in New York) is an American doctor/novelist who writes about medicine and topics affecting public health.
He is noted for several works, including ''Toxin'', ''Outbreak'', ''The Year of The Intern'', and ''Fatal Cure''. Several of his books have been published by Reader's Digest. A number of Cook's novels, including ''Coma'' and ''Sphinx'', have been made into movies. He graduated from Columbia University.
He has also been a deep sea diver at Jacques-Yves Cousteau's Oceanographic Institute.
Michael Crichton directed the film Coma, adapted from a Robin Cook novel, and there are other similarities in terms of genre and the fact that both Cook and Crichton are physicians, are of similar age and write about similar subjects.
Cook is a private member of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees, led by Chairman Joseph B. Gildenhorn, are appointed to six-year terms by the president of the United States.^[1]
