Soon after Dr Daniel Fazen becomes an executive at his cherished community hospital, it is acquired by a predatory health care con-glomerate. It quickly becomes clear that those in power at this ruth-less corporation have little concern for the human beings under their care. The stand Dan takes to save his patients creates an extraordi-nary showdown between one man with a conscience and the forces of big business greed. This dramatic insider's look at the dark side of our health care system is a gripping and cautionary tale for America, where e being in the wrong hospital at the wrong time can cost you your health -- or your life.
