""Getting Better recounts, the waves of emotion experienced by the robust, athletic and wonderfully articulate anesthesiologist Dr. Andrew Kadar. From his denial of symptoms through bypass surgery, complications and complete recovery this book is profoundly educational while telling a compelling uplifting story of triumph over adversity."" ""Getting Better delivers a compelling, reader-friendly account of the physical and emotional challenges of open-heart surgery and its sequelae--made even more poignant because it comes from the perspective of previously healthy physician who suddenly becomes the patient of his long-time colleagues. This first-hand narrative can help prepare a patient and their loved ones for heart surgery and also help them understand and adjust to the issues and fears they may face along the way.""
