Listen to various stories by Bernie Siegel, MD during about his practice as a doctor with cancer patients and with children and how by conversing with each person, listening to their dreams, intuition, or even having a child do a drawing about their operation gave him great insights and sometime avoid mistakes while trying to save their life in an operating room. How he discovered how to understand a cancer patient and often raise their spiritual views so they could learn how to heal their own bodies; and at times how he would speak to their subconscious mind while in the operating room and request them to stay in this life, often proving to other doctors and staff that these methods work as the patient would survive and be well. Over the years he has trained several therapists to work with patients who are very ill or teach someone how to change their mindset. He gives us a better understanding of how our mind works, and where our power to get well resides; as well as how we can decide to pass peacefully on our own terms from a point of strength and a sense of empowerment.

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.
