The prisoner exchange took place on the bridge. Soldiers and snipers and floodlights everywhere. Two men shook hands in the middle of the bridge and waved to their respective sides. A line of men in chains with bags over their heads walked South. One man in a suit and tie walked North. When the line of men reached their side, the chains were removed, the bags were lifted, and their families saw them and hugged them and thanked God. "Did you use my latest formula?" the man in the suit said. "Yes," said the soldiers. The virus spread like wildfire.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
