"Acquisition Syndrome" tells the story when a simple country doctor is squeezed by outside forces to put profit before the health of his patients. It is a follow up of "The Mandolin Case" released in 2010. Dr. Tommy Bibey grew up making house calls with his country doctor father. He later attended Lake Forest University and Sandhills Medical School where he picked up first the guitar and then the mandolin.

More than one patient has asked him to play at their funeral. He always viewed medicine and bluegrass music as the two healing arts of the body and soul.
