QUOTES
- “I think taxes are a big motivator. Working for somebody else has amazing stability and opportunity, and there are certainly perks. But when you work for yourself, the sky's the limit.” - Zach Medlin
- “I don't know where the limit is or where we want to end up, but I do know that I have goals to see all my kids' soccer games and be there for my family, like that's Faith and Family are number one for us. And that's where we want to be first. And I think this gives us a great opportunity to keep that in the forefront of our lives.” - Zach Medlin

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.
