The Angry Puppet Syndrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)John Menkes has woven a striking, intense story of medical, legal, and business intrigue. In the atmospheres of medical academia and class action legalism, a mediocre researcher who is an astute and dedicated clinician is threatened and embattled by his superiors and by the hierarchy of a powerful drug cartel as he attempts to force recall of a newly approved antidepressant associated with devastating, yet inconstant, side effects. Working with a brilliant and attractive woman attorney, he faces innumerable illegal and immoral roadblocks as he struggles to prevent further distribution of this potentially useful but dangerous drug. Well-written, medically and legally erudite, this book is a fascinating, quick-moving tale that provides both nail-biting entertainment and valuable education. The details of the development of the drug, of its clinical usage, of its bizarre side effects, of its monetary value to the drug company, and of the legal maneuverings by both plaintiff and defendent could only have been written by someone privy to the most intimate details of medical research and the judicial process.
