Synopsis:
Drawing on his experiences as a patient, the author offers advice for those facing a coronary artery bypass operation, explains what undergoing the operation is like, and outlines a program of recovery and post-operative behavior. Original. UP.
Reviews: Klein's wife, Carole, in her brief contribution here, refers to his "brooding Hungarian heritage." Those who are considering a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)--their family members and friends, too--will appreciate a major aspect of this heritage: an intense interest in details. Klein had a four-vessel CABG in 1989 and had a much rougher time with it than have many others. He begins his guidebook with a practical CABG patients' bill of rights, then turns to his own experience, on which he bases his advice. He received contradictory counsel from several cardiologists, whose attitudes ranged from arrogant to uninterested, but eventually found a competent, experienced, interested physician. He spells out the details he learned about examinations, tests, the operation itself, life in the hospital, and convalescence. William Beatty
