A Wake-Up Call for the Healthcare Industry
Cutthroat: Available Now
In the multibillion-dollar business of American medicine, doctors are often portrayed as culprits—opportunistic millionaires who prey on the misfortune of their hapless patients and drive up the cost of healthcare. But oftentimes they are the real victims of a system designed to increase profits for the insurance companies, shady businessmen, and Big Government.
Cutthroat provides an insider’s perspective on the many battles that doctors fight for their patients and their practices and exposes the truth about the complex financial, legal, and regulatory pressures faced by doctors who enter the business world. It’s a wake-up call for a healthcare industry that has lost its way.
“Cyr is a captivating storyteller, recounting his experiences with passion and immediacy, from intimate details of his family dynamics to the breakneck pace of his ambitious career. The role of the author’s religious faith in his dedication to medicine is also noteworthy.”
