Abstract
Set in an AIDs hospital in an undisclosed African nation, Tea With the Tiger concerns itself with medicine and ethics. The novel explores the corrupt alliance between doctors and the pharmaceutical industry in developing countries. The book is narrated by a young schizophrenic orderly who not only battles his own inner demons, but also the “medical” demons surrounding him. A tense and gripping tale, this story blows the whistle on the use of AIDs patients as experimental guinea pigs.
