Physical therapist turned actor, Faheem Rashid, is a genius with an almost superhuman ability to retain information, certainly living up to his name which means "the righteously guided teacher".
We talk about the expectations he faced as the son of immigrants and a latchkey childhood that meant his babysitter was often his imagination and the television. He gets very vulnerable about his lifelong struggle with his relationship to food, which often got him kicked out of all-you-can-eat buffets, and the way his physicality became the main aspect of his identity.

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.
