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. >When Dr. Steven Cyr (a deeply religious man and the former chief of spine surgery for the U.S. Air Force) first opened his own practice, his focus was on providing the very best care for his patients, improving spine surgery results, and running an ethical business.

It's a wake-up call for a healthcare industry that has lost its way.
