In this week's episode of The Explant Secrets Podcast titled "Dearest Doctors, You'll Wish I Stayed Gone." we take a little detour from our regular programming as I share a deeply personal and unexpected turn of events. This episode delves into the reasons behind the extended gap between episodes, offers insights into the highs and lows I've experienced lately as a Breast Implant Illness Advocate, including the challenges I faced while speaking at TEDx, and the emotional rollercoaster I've encountered that had me standing face to face with a kind of depression I was in no way prepared for.
I conclude the episode with a heartfelt promise to return to our familiar content, where I will once again intertwine tales of horror and healing that you, my cherished audience, have come to rely on.
Oh, and don't miss the little message I leave at the end for the doctors still lying to us saying Breast Implants are safe. (Insert evil smile here heehee) A very special thank you goes to the incredibly talented Vivienne Medrano for that precious bit.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
