Four stories. Four different kinds of pain. One truth:
You can come back from anything, even if it feels like your life is falling apart.
In this episode, Dr. James Adkins talks with four people who went through some of the hardest moments anyone can face. They were hurt, ignored, and nearly gave up. But each one found a way to stand back up.
–> Carey Pena had a stroke, but doctors said it was just a tumor. She was also told she could never have kids. They were wrong.
–> Darlene Santore survived three strokes, lost her mom, and kept leading others through their toughest days.
–> Dr. Tricia Pingle looked like she had it all together. But inside, she was hiding grief and burnout. She found healing in a place she didn’t expect: dance.
–> Kelsey Zakino was in a wheelchair at 26, taking fentanyl just to move, and still no one believed her pain. She almost gave up. Until one person finally listened.
This episode is real, emotional, and honest. If you're going through something hard, this might help you feel less alone.

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.
