Dog Flu

Dog Flu Synopsis

Dr. Fabre is a MD PhD board-certified psychiatrist. He developed over 30 psychiatric drugs including Prozac and Xanax. He has seen patients over the last 50 some years. He was a contemporary of Michael Crichton who wrote Jurassic Park. Both were medical students concurrently. Some know that Jurassic Park is written on two levels: one, a story about dinosaurs, the other a scathing attack on academic medicine. Dr. Fabre decided to outdo Crichton and write a book on three levels. Dog Flu is a story of a flu epidemic, underneath is an attack on the FDA, and underneath that is an expose on borderline personality disorder.

Dr. Fabre wrote this book in 2006. It was a forecast of the current pandemic. At the time, no one would publish the book. The publishers said it was too fantastic and it would never happen. Now that the pandemic has occurred, Dog Flu can finally be published.

Dr. Fabre has challenged early readers to find the personality flaws in the characters in the book. See if you can. Don't use DSM-V criteria. Use Dr. Fabre's criterion: a pervasive inability to live by the rules of society.

Dr. Fabre's other novel is The Secret Clinic.
