Publisher's Summary

This is a documented account of an assistant surgeon's self-represented legal quest against Cigna for equitable reimbursement and its retaliatory counterstrike in federal court under a partial bench.

Who might find the book engaging? The obvious audience would be attorneys and judges. And physicians, of course, who must face the unfair reimbursement practices of insurance megaliths. Legislators may consider it valuable. Also, anyone who will ever become a patient, which inevitably includes us all.

I believe you will actually be fascinated by the associated law and shocked at how slanted our judicial system seems to be against propriety itself. The subject matter is dense yet accessible. The listen is worthwhile, at minimum for the humor scattered in the narration.
