Getting Cracked: Preparing for open heart surgery

Let’s be real—open heart surgery sounds terrifying. But what if someone could walk you through it with warmth, wisdom, and just the right dose of dark humor?

Enter Getting Cracked—part insider’s guide, part patient diary, and 100% unlike any medical book you’ve ever read.

Written by Jon Frazier, a seasoned anesthesia expert who’s spent a decade on the OR front lines and lived through open heart surgery himself, this book lifts the surgical curtain to reveal what really happens—before, during, and after they "crack you open."

Forget the jargon. This is heart surgery explained like a conversation with your brutally honest, hilarious best friend.
From the moment you put on that ridiculous gown to the unforgettable moment you finally poop post-op (yes, it’s a thing), Jon shares it all—with clarity, compassion, and an uncensored sense of humor.

Perfect for:

* Patients gearing up for the big day

* Family members hungry for answers and peace of mind

* Anyone who wants a raw, real, and refreshingly funny look inside the OR

This isn’t just a medical journey—it’s a story of survival, strength, and unexpected grace under pressure.
