Getting Cracked: Preparing for open heart surgery

By Jon Frazier

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.
