As an active surgeon over the last thirty 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.
