SUE’S REINVENTION STORY:
======
In her mid 50s, Sue Camaione was in an abusive marriage, and finally mustering up the courage to leave.
From the outside it might have looked like any chance of a dream life was far behind her at 57.

🌟 She’s energetic & living creatively
🌟 She just got married to an old flame she reconnected with after her divorce
🌟 She’s learning the drums, practicing buddhism, experimenting with Psilocybin, and going on trips around the world
🌟 And she just wrote her first book - a memoir published at age 69, about the sexual double standards she faced in life.

If anything Sue’s life is JUST GETTING STARTED - and she’s living her creative BEST LIFE.

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.
