He never expected this diagnosis. Dr. Kadar was accustomed to caring for patients—not becoming one. Just as he began a new marriage, a few episodes of minor chest pain led to a shocking diagnosis: severe heart disease requiring immediate open-heart surgery.

In Getting Better, he candidly chronicles his unexpected descent from excellent health into life-threatening illness, blending medical expertise with the raw experience of confronting his own mortality. Kadar takes readers from the front lines of surgery to the long, often overlooked challenges of recovery, offering practical wisdom on patient care, mindset, and living with a changed sense of self.

A powerful testament to resilience, Getting Better provides valuable insight for patients, loved ones, and medical professionals—and affirms that meaning and hope can be found even in life’s most difficult moments.
