Her Charm Was Contagious

A dangerous doctor and a patient who just lover everyone to death! What if your own doctor suffers crippling mental health issues of aging: memory loss, jealousy, uncontrolled anger? How will it affect the treatments they deliver? Everyone knows that Doctor Vincent Pasternak, the aging founding physician for the Haven Medical Group, has a growing jealousy and paranoia. He fears that his junior partners believe him incompetent and want to replace him. But Vincent's medical group is his life, his baby, and he may be pushed into extreme measures to protect his position. Vincent's associates include easy-going general internist Keith Tamborer, Stanley the extrovert cardiologist and Evrette, the introvert and highly religious gastroenterologist. Together, these four physicians suffer from all of the seven Cardinal Sins: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. Keith's main goal is to simply practice medicine and stay out of everyone's way. As the story develops, Keith realizes that Vincent has serious interpersonal and psychiatric problems. As Keith sees his partners die one by one, he develops a serious concern for his own safety. He wonders if the deaths are linked and why these doctors would be targeted. As things fall apart around him and trouble with the hospital and with lawyers dog him, Keith begins to see the outline of a plot against all the partners and he is forced to develop an attitude of survival.
