Madhouse Blues — Robert Taylor

Madhouse Blues is the tale of a psychiatric hospital from hell whose caregivers are crazier than their patients. Purchased by a giant plumbing conglomerate (Flush Dynamics), the hospital pursues profit full tilt as it bills for dead patients, funnels profits into an offshore account, uses central casting to dupe regulators, and deploys a perverted version of self-help therapy for which it charges top dollar.Can anyone stop this folly?A zany cast of characters bounce off each other like balls inside a pinball machine: a gorgeous and wickedly smart woman psychiatrist, bipolar and in total denial; an Arab student drop out slowly losing his mind as he waits for a signal from Allah; a chorus of over-the-top doctors, all with cockamamie takes on therapy; and a bombshell of a CEO who applies her favorite power tool--sex--in all forms and flavors. Throw in a brilliant but flawed psychiatrist caught between a wife who has tossed him out and a student he knows he should not touch but can’t resist and you have a sumptuous story of second chances, quirky love, and glorious payback.
