A renowned physician explores the transformative journey of being a patient, offering profound insights into the power of the human spirit and what it means to truly heal from a traumatic medical event

Inspired by the harrowing experience of being a seasoned doctor who unexpectedly becomes a patient, Dr Andrew G. Kadar reimagines the conventional medical narrative by inviting readers into an enlightening journey of healing. More than a simple story of physical recovery, however, this trailblazing guide delves into the emotional, spiritual, and psychological facets of getting better, ultimately helping readers through initial challenges, gradual return to normalcy, and introspective reflections during convalescence. From the confines of a medical facility to the reality of everyday life, Kadar shows what to expect when transitioning from the patient experience to sobering post-recovery reality. Enriching each chapter is a unique fusion of professional medical insights and personal experience. This dual viewpoint gives an invaluable glimpse into the healthcare system, providing rich insights into everything from patient care, to staying in a positive mindset regardless of diagnosis, to the personal impact of long-term health challenges. What results is a testament to human resilience, one that underscores the transformative power of adversity and the importance of self-care. Whether you're a medical professional, a patient, or navigating a loved one's health challenges, this book delivers a uniquely enlightening and empowering perspective on the complexities of healing and the innate strength within us all.

Industry Reviews
"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."
