Publisher's summary

As an active surgeon over the last 30 years, Dr. Paul A. Ruggieri has experienced and lived through the best and the worst of his profession.

In his first book, Confessions of a Surgeon: The Good, the Bad, and the Complicated, he pushed open the operating room doors to give the public a startling view of what really went on inside the operating room.

In Confessions of a Surgeon: A Deeper Cut, Dr. Ruggieri blows the operating room doors right off their hinges. It cuts deeper into a profession, even more mysterious then ever before. He candidly shares his thoughts on the patients that have impacted his life the most. He also exposes how surgeons (including himself) and the surgical profession have dramatically changed since the first time he nervously picked up a scalpel blade as a naïve surgical intern. He explores how these changes have helped and hurt patients. He also explores how these changes will continue to have a direct affect on anyone about to enter an operating room.

Ultimately, Dr. Ruggieri’s passionate and candid account of his life inside a changing operating room will give his audience the power of transparency and truth.

The Truth About How Sick America’s Healthcare System Really Is

I’m so appreciative for Dr. Ruggieri telling us the truth about what goes on behind the scenes and about the “good old days”. The days of common sense and how healthcare personnel actually used it. It’s scary to see and experience how much things have changed and not for the better in most cases. The narrator does a wonderful job telling the story, clearly spoken, no huge spikes and drops in tone, just really good! Somehow, we’ve got to get our healthcare system “well”, but I don’t see or know how.

Interesting and unusual perspective

The narrator was very good. The doctor tells so many behind the scenes stories that usually doctors want to keep to themselves. I like how he told of both his own successes and also his failures, or things he was ashamed of. It takes a lot to admit to that stuff, especially publicly. Great book.
