Book Description:
Why is surgery so expensive? Why does the cost of surgery incoherently vary from hospital to hospital? Because hospitals and surgeons, in addition to quality care, expect something else: profits. In his groundbreaking new book, “The Cost of Cutting: A Surgeon Reveals the Truth Behind a Multibillion-Dollar Industry,” September 2 from Berkley Books, Dr. Paul A. Ruggieri takes readers behind the operating room doors, exposing the business influences on the surgical decision process – and what patients and policymakers must do to improve transparency.
