A Surgeon’s Fight Against a Broken Healthcare System

What’s wrong with our healthcare system? EVERYTHING.

And you’re about to find out all about it in Cutthroat, a trailblazing new book to be released in May by renowned U.S. physician Steven J. Cyr, a spinal and cosmetic surgeon who blows the lid off the misperceptions about doctors and American health care.

Fact #1: A whopping 79% of the U.S. public is turned off by the high costs of medical care—all the endless red tape, gaping holes in coverage, and poor access to good doctors. In fact, among industrialized nations, the U.S. has the highest dissatisfaction rate when it comes to health care.

At last, Mayo Clinic-trained Dr. Cyr, a former consultant to the Pentagon and USAF surgeon general, is sharing a deeply personal story about his fight against big government, corrupt businessmen and a broken healthcare system.

As I learned during our year together writing the fascinating book, Dr. Cyr is a highly disciplined man (he served two tours of duty in Iraq as a battlefield surgeon), risking his life day after day. But in peacetime, things weren’t so easy either.

In this revelatory book, released by Amplify Publishing, he unmasks the falsehood that doctors are opportunistic millionaires who prey on the misfortune of their hapless patients and drive up the costs of healthcare. On the contrary, we learn that doctors are often the real victims of a system designed to increase profits for the insurance companies, shady businessmen and Big Government.

From the first page to the last, you will be intrigued to see how Dr. Cyr was descended upon by cutthroat businessmen jealous colleagues, federal agents, and ambitious lawyers. Their barrage of legal attacks and false claims culminated in him being targeted for federal indictment, nearly losing everything he valued. Only through his faith, and the love of his wife, LeAnn, (a remarkable woman who is the Founder and CEO at SASpine) was he able to find the strength to overcome the forces aligned against him.

Like the story of Daniel cast into the lion’s den, the 51-year-old was thrown into a different kind of den, but his fighting spirit allowed him to escape the darkness. You’ll see how…in CUTTHROAT.
