Description
Dr. Brandon Cowley finds himself immersed in a conspiracy to defraud the federal government billions of dollars in a research protocol designed to put the majority of vascular surgeons out of business. The Heart Assisted Device is designed to obviate the need for more expensive and traditional cardiac bypass surgery, but positive research results must support the government's claim that the device is superior to the more expensive CABC surgeries. Brandon uncovers a plot to murder his patients to report favorable results and thus make the FDA's case for the new procedure. A parallel plot involves Mexico's intent to steal American biotechnology.
