Well, my son and I were in his bedroom yesterday
and and as you know, I've got old Queenslander with
very high ceilings, the cobads that go right up to
the ceiling, and of course I can't reach them. So
he was on a ladder and we were pulling down
stuff out of the shopping the cupbins, and now we're
discovering things that you know, we had no idea it'd
(00:25):
be put up there about ten years ago. I'm like, oh,
yeah that, Oh no, we don't need that anyway. Next
minute he goes, mum, there's some compartment in the top
of one side of his wardrope. What do you mean?
He said, well, look at this. It's got like a
little secret door. And I'm like really yeah, I said,

They were fighting the bills in this the secret compartment.
Oh there were letters, I would say, I don't know
if you, and they were quite damaged and so forth.
So someone had obviously then yeah, yeah, yeah, handwritten letters
and obviously faded a bit so it was hard to read.
So they were kind of all in a bundle with
(01:22):
an elastic band around them, and then there were some
cards and bits and pieces. But it was like a
little basket with just this little door on the top
of it, and it just had all this. So obviously
I don't know how many people before me, because we've
been there quite a while and they were stashed in
this top compartment.

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.
