Somewhere in the middle of the Central African Jungle on a sunny Monday morning, a young baby boy was born. Unlike most births that happened in nice cushy hospital settings, the newborn came out in the front yard of a hospital. He was welcomed by mother earth literally head-on. He grew up without ever knowing anything about his father and started living on his own away from any parent at the age of 13. He was raised by a single mother who had to work long hours for them. He met his best friend who did something extraordinary that changed the course of his life forever. He left his country of birth for a new country where he did not speak the language. The young man went through struggles such as business disappointments, a divorce, lost his house, his children, his money, and became homeless in his host country. He realized that despite everything he endured, he never felt unhappy, on the contrary, his life experience became sources of growth, joy, and happiness. How does it do it?

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.
