Summary: A SURVIVERS GUIDE TO OPEN HEART SURGERY
Review: I really enjoyed the honesty of the content in which the author revealed to his readers, as he gives a first hand account of his journey through the somewhat unknown. I'm sure this will be a great insight to those facing such a journey and my hope is they gain the encouragement, and the empowerment from the authors words. May it be a blessing! CHRIS WALL

Summary: Depressing
Review: This book is an interesting recount of the authors' experience, but it by no means reflects what many other patients go through. I felt the tone of the book depressing.

Summary: "Guide" is very misleading"
Review: This book is not a Guide in the sense of offering objective guidelines for the process of getting through -- and recovering from -- open heart-surgery. As an open-heart surgery survivor and thriver (summer 2003), in my opinion the book is a dismal account of one man's unique experience exacerbated by depressive illness that he was battling at least a year before his surgery. My concern is that his account is so negative as to dissuade a heart patient from chosing bypass surgery when indicated. That would be regrettable. Having talked to numerous open-heart surgery patients, clearly the majority of us benefit enormously from the miracle of open-heart operations.

Summary: i'd want to know
Review: this book is very informative and well written. it gives you a lot of information about what can happen to you after heart surgery that your doctors may not tell you. it's also easy to read without a lot of medical terms that are hard to understand. i'd recommend this book to anyone who was facing heart surgery.
