Dr. Andrew Kadar, an Ivy League–trained and highly experienced anesthesiologist, has written a dynamic, informative, and entertaining medical memoir, CARDIAC BUSHWHACK: WHEN THE DOCTOR NEEDS HEART SURGERY, in which the doctor abruptly finds himself on the business end of a gurney. In a candid, in-depth narrative, Kadar explores his frightening open-heart procedure and its aftermath from an informed-patient’s perspective, along with many surprises, obstacles, setbacks, and revelations he experienced on his journey back to health.
