Sharon,

Sorry, but it's not possible.  Bookshare's categories are not broken down
far enough to allow this, and even if they are, many volunteers don't mark
the categories properly.  Only about two thirds of the books on Step 1 at
the moment are marked either Fiction or Nonfiction.

My suggestion would be to search Google, Library of Congress, NLS, or your
local library's website to find authors which write medical and/or
psychological thrillers, then look the authors up on Bookshare.

BTW, I do know that all of Robin Cook's books are on Bookshare, and so are
all of Tess Gerritsen's medical thrillers.  They are the only two I'm
familiar with who write medical thrillers.

I'm not familiar with who writes psychological thrillers, though, so I can't
help you there.

HTH

Gerald

Oh, yes, I have read Coma, and in fact all of Robin Cook's books, plus many
other medical thrillers on bookshare.org.

Sue,

Have you read the Robin Cook books we have in the
collection? I remember the movie Coma, which I
enjoyed. I validated Shelley's rescan of Brain, which
if you haven't read you might enjoy.
