Surgeon Paul A. Ruggieri reveals little-known truths about his profession—and the hidden flaws of our healthcare system—in this compelling and troubling account of real patients, real doctors, and how money influences medical decisions behind the scenes. Even many well-informed patients have no idea what may be contributing to the cost of their surgery. With up-to-date research and stories from his practice, Ruggieri shows how business arrangements among hospitals, insurance companies, and surgeons affect who gets treatment and whether they get the right treatment. Pulling back the curtain from the hospital bed, he explains how to safeguard one’s own health (and finances), and how America can make surgery more affordable for all without sacrificing quality care.

The Cost of Cutting: A Surgeon Reveals the Truth Behind a Multibillion-Dollar Industry Book Review

Dr. Ruggieri wrote a fascinating book about accountability, waste in medicine, and gives specific details on how the medical profession and the federal government need to take a more active and responsible approach to the way healthcare is defining our country today. His vision of how healthcare will be addressed in the future seems frighteningly obvious; a message that everyone in this country needs to read about. Dr. Ruggieri’s message is just as important to the very young as it is to the baby-boomers and elderly. The one thing that struck me the most while reading his book: Today it is more important than ever for people to know what the future of healthcare will be in this country. Everyone in this country needs to know exactly what their insurance policy states, what is the best insurance coverage you can obtain, and how to find the best care for the condition you have. We need doctors like Dr. Ruggieri to inform the public about healthcare and the huge impact is has on our lives. A very honest and vital book for all to read!
