In this episode, Ellie chats about inventors that were killed by their own inventions. She also invented a cocktail AND a drinking game for this episode, folks! What can we say? We’re real Renaissance Women on this podcast. It’s a good thing we had a drinking game, too because Abby discusses the horrific topics of Imperialism in Africa and the grandson of the Jameson fortune, James Sligo Jameson. In his exploration, he got up to some nasty things. What did he do, exactly? Well, you could Google it, OR you COULD listen to this episode and find out! Both are free, but one is a bit more entertaining than the other (at least, we’d like to think so!).

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.
