Asian Fail with Angie Suh
What's an Asian Fail? Getting a B is an Asian Fail. Anything other than being the very best is a failure. Or is it? Hear stories from Asian peeps who did not become doctors or lawyers! Ok, maybe some doctors and lawyers. We'll also chat about mental/physical health, entertainment, and culture, from an Asian American point of view.

What about the China Virus? Just when we thought we could live our lives and mind our own business, pandemic race baiting has singled Asians out as the scapegoat du jour. I discuss this issue with Dr. Grace Chen, a psychologist, along with the Model Minority myth, balancing life between two cultures, the resistance to getting mental health help, and specific issues that confront Asian American women.

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.
